It's A Small World After all... at Capricciosa

Its my 2nd time in Capricciosa, this time I'm with Dad and my brother, Jerwin. I ordered what Achie Jen, Cathy and I ordered during my first visit since I want Dad to try how delicious this Italian restaurant is minus the pizza. Minus the pizza? I know you are going to ask why... mainly because Dad wants to order something else... instead of the pizza, we ordered the very delicious, juicy and tender Roasted Chicken w/ Rosemary and the very very delicious Tuna and Calamari Salad.

The chicken is roasted to perfection as the juices and the flavours are still intact. When one slices the chicken, you can actually see the juice leaking out of its meat and the aroma of rosemary. Truly a mouth-watering experience. The salad on the other hand is equally delicious as its lettuce are fresh and crunchy with tuna and calamari. The dressing is the tuna itself as well. It is unique and remarkable.

Now, you are again wondering why I am saying its a small world after all? Because the owner of this restaurant is not only the wedding dress maker of Achie Jen but also the "barkada" of my brother in Xavier School. It's really a small world isn't it? Well, this time we were given an on the house pumpkin pie. Where else can you see and buy a pumpkin pie? Well, you can find it here in Capricciosa. Upon tasting this pie, I must admit, it is very foreign to my tastebuds. Pumpkin pies are famous in the United States and Europe but never in the Philippines but nonetheless no matter how foreign it is, it is still baked deliciously and tasty.

Capricciosa

Achie Jen invited me to try out the new Italian restaurant located along Connecticut St., San Juan. It is called Capricciosa. This is their 2nd branch, the first branch is located in Greenbelt 3. The soft opening special of Capricciosa is to give 20% off discount on all food and beverage order during November 15 to 30, 2008. Haley, the wedding dress maker of Ach Jen, informed her so she invited me to try this out. Being an Italian cuisine lover, I immediately said yes... who can say no to good food.

We ordered their special appetizer, it is Smoked Salmon Spring Rolls placed on top of a wonderfully made friend spring roll wrapper. This one is really delicious. Even the fried spring roll wrapper taste exquisitely fabulous. For our entree, Cathy ordered the Shrimp and Spinach Au Gratin. It is served on a hot pan plate. The cheese used was mozerella, whenever you dig into this dish, you can actually smell the aroma of milk and cheese combined. Very delicious indeed. We also ordered the Capricciosa Pizza. Words aren't enough to describe how delicious and fascinating this Italian restaurant is. It is no excuse not to try this out. Budget per person is around Php 500.00

Capricciosa is located along Connecticut St. in San Juan near Contis and Greenbelt 3.
