After an early morning mass at Antipolo Cathedral, we drove our
way to Robinsons Magnolia to try out Lombardi’s Authentic Italian Cuisine. It
was suggested to us by my aunt who recently migrated to Australia. She said the
food was great. Well, maybe it is for us to try!
The day before, I was searching for Lombardi’s on the net.
To my surprise, most of the searches brought me to Lombardi’s New York. I thought
it was the same restaurant as what we have in the Philippines. It just wowed me
that Lombardi’s is in fact, a Filipino owned restaurant named after an Italian
Chef with a Filipino heart.
We were welcomed by the restaurant’s inviting ambience and conspicuous
interiors. The atmosphere made us feel at home. As dad slide himself in on one
of the vacant seats, I knew he was really excited to dig-in on new delicacies.
My dad ordered Saltimbocca Alla Romana, a main course with Scalloppini
Chicken, Prosciutto and Sage while mom had Pizza Aisalumi enriched with lavish tomato
sauce, mozzarella with Italian Ham. As for my favorite niece, Spaghetti con
Polpettine should probably appease her.
If you happen to like thin crust pizzas, then Lombardi’s is a
great place for you. Though, they’re not that extravagant on toppings, the spices
were perfectly harmonious and weighty.
The meat was finely mixed with spices that tested me and my
mom’s inquisitiveness in cooking and food tasting. The cuisines were very appetizing that dad
even suggested us to come back at Lombardi’s on mom’s birthday.
Lombardi’s Authentic Italian not just made us taste authentic
Italian delicacies but as well as remarkable authentic Italian experience that
made my dad’s day. I suppose our experience at the Lombardi’s in Robinsons
Magnolia was indeed a treat not only for dad, but for the rest of our family!
