A quaint restaurant near Tiendesitas serves a great variety of Italian food. So today … today we had Italian.

Al Dente. A restaurant near Tiendesitas, in front of SM HyperMarket, and along Starbucks (o di ba ang daming landmarks? :) Di ko lang kasi maalala ang exact address) is co-owned by a friend of ours. She invited us over today for their soft opening. So off we went and had a sumptuous meal at Al Dente (emphasis on sumptuous) :D.

For pasta lovers, you would get your money’s worth with their generous and delicious servings. For pizza lovers, get a taste of the Roman biscuit crust! For meat lovers, their main dishes are deliriously great as well (though we haven’t sampled these dishes yet as we were quite pleasantly full with everything we’ve ordered). For vegetarians, they have a variety of salad choices as well. And since I have a sweet tooth, they have a dessert which is to die for, “Death by Chocolate”. Yep, that is the dessert’s name. :) Very yummy! So yummy that Tipoy finished it off before I could blink. Hmmmm … speaking of which, I’m craving for a slice of it right now.
