We met up after work at the Eastwood mall in Libis, and we decided to try out the Italianni's there. We don't usually go to this place (at all) because it's expensive; but then we had a discount card :D. It was a busy place at the dinner hour, service was a little slow. It took a while before they got us the bread appetizer. Two slices of regular white bread (ciabatta?) and something with more herbs in it (also ciabatta?). It had an olive oil-balsamic vinegar dip and helped stave off the hunger for a while.
We had some of their Sicilian Chicken salad to start with. The dressing had a creamy and onion-y taste to it from what I remember. All in all very savory. Chesca liked the mix of romaine lettuce and sweet fruits. And I liked the fact there was meat in this dish. Win win for the two of us :). Also pretty filling.
I wanted to get my Garfield on and tried the Italian staple lasagna. It was nice and meaty, with a good amount of pasta layered in between. Rich and creamy sauce, too. If only there was like a tray of it. Maybe I'm just being a glutton, but I kind of like having twice as much lasagna in one sitting. Just me :D
With the discounts, the bill almost hit 800 bucks. Italianni's is a nice place to visit (and also an easy place to go since most malls have one), but I don't think you'd want to always eat there. Unless you're swimming in cash. Or you have a discount card. Regardless, you can almost always count on good food reaching you at an Italianni's. Just be prepared to pay for it :)
