Amici is a quaint Italian Pizza/Pasta/Gelato Restaurant that has had its home in Don Bosco Makati since June 1994. It was previously owned by the Don Bosco Church under the operation of an Italian priest named Friar Gianluigi Colombo and has since sold out to Red Ribbon and succeedingly Jollibee. We recently had the opportunity to revisit.

While the selection of dishes in most part remained the same, they have added a few classics such as Mozzarella sticks. We like their pizza but on this visit we decided to focus on their pasta.

We started off with the Mozzarella sticks, the fingers were not as thick as we expected, but tasted well enough for the price.

Mozzarella Frito – PHP 150.00 NET ($US 3.50)

One of our favorite dishes is the Spinach Cannelloni. What we like is that they use a bundle of spinach and the texture of the Cannelloni was comparable to Lasagna.

Cannelloni Agli Spinaci – PHP 195.00 NET ($US 4.50)

Their house specialty and best seller is the Spaghetti Red Vongole with clams and shrimp. The tomato based sauce was flavorful enough, but a dollop more would not have hurt. Shrimp was not as fresh as it used to be when under the original management.

Spaghetti Red Vongole e Gamberetti – PHP 230.00 ($US 6.00)

To top it off our we could not resist a visit to their Gelateria – Caramia.

Aside from a variety of 15 different flavors of Gelato to choose from, they also have the combined cake making expertise of Red Ribbon for their creations.

We chose a scoop of our favorite flavors – Pistachio and Sans Rival. We were not disappointed and in fact went for seconds!

Pistachio Gelato – PHP 70.00 ($US 1.50) & Sans Rival Gelato – PHP 70.00 ($US 1.50)
