Gino’s Brick Oven Pizza was on my bucket list. I was giddy because I finally got to tick it off from my list this week. I tried the place together with my best friends in law school.
It was a nice experience, not only because I was with my girl friends, but also for these lovely things:
1) Their menu consists of not-your-ordinary pizza and pasta.
We ordered their bestsellers.
Bianca Verde. It’s made of olive oil, garlic, kesong puti, ricotta, parmesan, basil and arugula.
Salted Egg Pasta, made of fettuccine, bacon, salted egg, cream and parmesan.
2) They have a unique condiment – Chili Honey.
It was my first time to see and taste a spicy honey.
3) Their Chocolate Chicharon is heavenly!
The sweetness of the chocolate and the saltiness of the chicharon blended so well.
Other nice things I noticed –
4) The place has a light ambiance. It’s small but not overcrowded even if it was already lunch time.
It is also connected to Cello’s Doughnuts & Dips. You may prefer having doughnuts for dessert.
5) Their table, at least the one we got, was big and wide. You don’t have to worry for space.
Gino’s Brick Oven Pizza is, truly, a must-try! 🙂
