every time i go to Greenbelt 3 Cinemas, i always pass by this Italian restaurant named Capricciosa. and every time i see Capricciosa, i often tell myself to check out the place. that's why when jeddokun asked me where i want to eat before watching another Marvel movie, i remembered Capricciosa.
we found us a nice spot inside the restaurant's cozy interiors. it's always exciting and challenging to study a menu of a restaurant new to me. after a good 10 minutes, we were ready to order.
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce- Php364.00
Additional Meatballs (5 pieces)- Php67.20
just a little trivia about myself...I am not a big fan of spaghetti (just like the photo above). when i was little, i like spaghetti. whenever i attend my friends' kiddie birthday parties, i always stuff myself with spaghetti. i guess i ate so much spaghetti which was more than what a person can eat in his lifetime. maybe that's the reason why you won't find me craving for a spaghetti.
but for some strange and undetermined reason, as soon as i smelled the aroma of those chunky spaghetti meat sauce, i instantly grabbed my fork and took a bite of the dish. Squisito! the pasta was al dente, just the way i like it. the meat sauce was flavorful, light and just perfect. it was the kind of food that will make you smile and your eyes twinkle. as for the meatballs, they taste like McDonald's burger patties. *grin*
Half Garlic-Rosemary Chicken- Php638.40
another trivia about me. the only parts of the chicken that i eat are the wings, thighs and legs. dark meat, as what we usually call it. they are the best parts of the chicken. do you agree?
since we ordered half, i asked the wait staff to put the legs and thighs in one plate and the rest in another. the moment i ran my knife on the chicken, the skin just crackled which filled my ears with delight. the chicken was very good. aside from the fresh lemon juice that i bathed the chicken with, the roasted chili gave that extra zing to the dish.
overall, it was a good meal. the wait staff was attentive, the orders didn't take long to arrive, the place was spotless and the food was wonderful. we weren't able to get desserts 'cause the Marvel movie was about to start in a few minutes so we had to rush to the cinema. the Hulk won't like it if we are late. *wink*
