We like Amici for their inexpensive and scrumptious wood fired oven pizza and more importantly their gelateria – Caramia offers the best gelato cakes in town. Looking for a sweet indulgence? Then we urgently recommend that you give Caramia a shot but beware as midnight cravings will be the least of your worries as it may eventually become a dependence.

Traditional Neapolitan pizzas are cooked by a wood fired oven. They infuse a smoky flavor and make the crust extra crunchy. Did you know that each branch of Amici on average consumes 20-30 kilograms of wood per day? Normally oak is the preferred bark, but since this is not common in the Philippines, Amici uses substitutes such as palm and mango.

Quattro Stagioni Pizza – PHP 290.00 ($US 7.00)

Also known as the four seasons, this is our favorite pizza at Amici and the pizzaiolo Rodel meticulously rotated our pizza with his trusty pizza peel for equal charring around the edges. The toppings of artichoke hearts, olives, ham and mushrooms provide a nice combination of textures and flavors that complements the crunch of the pizza. Large enough for two people and best enjoyed with a dollop of extra virgin olive oil, chili flakes and Tabasco!

Mango Tango Cake Slice – PHP 65.00 ($US 1.20)

The mango cake was delicate, airy, sweet and creamy and enhanced by the freshness of the mango.

Pistacciolato Cake - PHP 65.00 ($US 1.20)

Fluffy and airy, good combination of pistachio and chocolate. We still prefer their gelato cakes though.

Tiramisu Gelato in Cone – PHP 70.00 ($US 1.20)

Ridiculously smooth and creamy in the cone.

Merry Berries Slice - PHP 95.00 ($US 2.00)

This Gelato Cake is simply awesome!!! Your first few bites will leave you speechless.  No visit to Caramia may be considered a visit without demolishing at least one slice of this creation of absolute indulgence. It is so refreshing with the strawberries and blueberries on top of layers of vanilla, strawberry and blueberry gelato. The graham butter crust and white chocolate provides a chewy grainy texture for each heavenly bite.

Merry Berries – PHP 650.00 ($US 15.00)

It’s so good we had to get a whole cake for takeout!
