Had a wonderful dinner with some close friends at the Galileo Enoteca the other night. Part restaurant, part deli, and mostly an Italian wine shop, the place is off Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong (Calbayog Street to be exact). It was a Tuesday night but the place was quite full; the place has ample parking, and I liked the nice brick walls that gave a warm cozy atmosphere. Furthermore, the restaurant layout has a lot of semi-private nooks, simply perfect for young lovers! The restaurant serve several kinds of pasta, risotto, and meat dishes, and I would say that the variety of wine was quite plentiful, enough to range from a modest P700 to a generous P10,000 per bottle. We had flavorful porcini risotto, squid ink spaghetti and a parma ham pizza, and together with a bottle of good wine, we spent a reasonable P700 per head. Being a fan of solid wood tables, I must say that their picnic style tables and benches gave the place a very homey look and feel. I understand the Italian owners are hands-on managers, and it shows in their attention to detail. Good place to recommend!Thursday, July 14, 2011
