Caruso

Happy Friday!  Vicky, Monique and myself found ourselves celebrating the family tradition of having Friday dinner out (for no reason at all, except to be happy) in Caruso Ristorante Italiano along Nicanor Reyes St. in Makati (this street used to be called Reposo).  Tucked away in the ground floor of the Luzon Rattan Building, you can almost miss the place, except for the fact that the multitude of cars parked outside calls attention--something good must be definitely brewing inside!  As we entered, it was a warm welcome we experienced; the interiors were elegant but still cozy, the atmosphere was lively and the staff was pleasant and well-trained.




Vicky and Monique started off with watermelon and lychee shakes, and as the food rolled in, we had porcini spaghetti (or was this truffle-oil spaghetti, i now forget... I must say this dish was excellent in all respects), spinach-filled ravioli (Monique though, wanted a sharper, cheesier bite), vongole (clam) linguini (an afterthought, which was nice and light), and two kinds of pizza--4 cheese and parma ham.

Dinner was capped with tiramisu, our all time favorite.  I like the way their pasta is properly al dente, cooked right yet still gooey to the bite!  A very pleasant night, which set us back just about P900 per head.  Just the place to bring your fiancee when you pop the most important question!
