Busy, busy... long time no blogging, but we'll go to the reason behind that later when we report about our trip to Hong Kong. Before we left, I had a lunch meeting at the Il Ponticello Italian restaurant along Valero St. in Salcedo Village. Being on the 2nd floor of the Antel office building, you have to go up using the fire exit (the elevator doesn't stop on the 2nd floor), and although the restaurant owners decorated and painted the stairway in order to have some measure of appeal, that entrance via fire exit somehow diminished the relaxing interiors of the place.
We started off with thin-crust pizza, which had just the right crunch. Since we were all hungry, this was gone the moment the food server set it on our table; I didn't even get the chance to take a picture. For my lunch, I had prawns with tagliatelle cream sauce which was quite delicious. Pasta was firm and right to the bite, and the sauce was rich and full of flavor.
I understand the place turns into a resto-bar at night, and sometimes, acoustic bands play light jazz and pop music for the patrons.
Overall our lunch was a good dining experience, although the bill was on the pricey side for casual dining. Prepare some P850 per head if you want starters to go with your main course.
