Recently, my iPad has been acting up and I discovered the culprit --- tons of photos and videos eating up my storage space. I don't delete because I want to blog about the places I've been to and the restaurants I've dined at but more often than not, I tend to forget about the photos because of my schedule. So, starting today, I'll start blogging about these places bit by bit so I can give my iPad some breathing room.
Let's start with this restaurant I went to in 2011 called Bellini.
Bellini is a champagne bar located beside Anzani Mediterranean Cuisine, a high-end restaurant in Cebu named by Philippine Tatler as the best restaurant in the Philippines in 2011. Both places are owned Marco Anzani.
At the onset, even before tasting the food, I loved Bellini's because of the ambiance it offers.
Just when I was expecting the place to be pretty only during the day, it magically transformed when the sun went down.
A nice romantic spot for a date. Too bad T wasn't with me when I went here.
This is the Anzani Mediterranean Restaurant.
I love the wine cellar located below the main dining area.
We chose to stay outside though, with light coming only from the moon and jar lamps scattered around the place.
After giving our orders, our server gave us each a piece of bread served in a small palayok (native pot).
He also gave us oils and dips for it.
For our pizza, we got the Shaves of Parma Ham Flatbread (P420/$16) with prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and fresh aragula leaves.
I'm not a 100% certain but I believe I ordered Linguine Carbonara (P295) with a creamy mixture of eggs, fried bacon and Parmesan cheese finished with a dash of cream.
Both the pizza and pasta are to die for. Yum!
Thumbs Up!
Good food
Great ambiance
Thumbs Down!
Hard to go to, not in the main city
Verdict
Will definitely go back here with T!
