So I finally ate at A Veneto again, which made me giddy. For me A Veneto is the best pasta place around in the Philippines that is pretty affordable. They also serve good pizza which is an added bonus for this restaurant.

Honestly though to us Filipinos, Italian food is basically Pizza and Pasta. What sets A Veneto apart from the rest is they serve the most authentic pasta and pizza dishes around for this price range. Most restaurants that actually serve authentic stuff will charge you as much as P500 up for a dish. The terribly cheap stuff though gets extremely localized in flavor which deviates entirely from the dish being considered "Italian".

There are pros and cons to localizations of certain dishes. Some of these localizations have led to great and not so bad pizza parlors such as Handuraw Pizza, Sandy's Pizza, 3M pizza and the like. It also led to such horror stories such as the infamous "Spagetchup" and the decent Old Spaghetti House. A Veneto's other selling point for me is the servings. Honestly even I'm extremely full after one full serving of their pasta dish.

This place was one of my favorite restaurants ever since i was a kid. From their pizza's, gambas, and my all time favorite...MANGO JUBILEE!

Its been a while since i came back to this restaurant. Maybe a good 3-4 years (im 21 now). But the memories i had with this place was always a good one. As such, i was excited to see if anything changed for better or worst.
