Italian Lunch at Gotti's Ristorante

 It was already lunch time and we are heading at SM Megamall that day to watch a movie and meet up with my old friends. I ask my sister if she already had a place in mind where we can have our lunch. She told me that we will be having lunch at Gotti’s Ristorante at the 4^th floor of the Atrium in SM Megamall.

My sister’s choice was the Dirty Fingers – chicken strips deep fried until golden brown partnered with a dip. I wanted to have a salad so I ordered for a Caesare Salad. We decided both to have pasta instead for a pizza since it is just the two of us. I choose the Frutti de Mare – pasta filled with sea foods. We also both ordered for a glass of lemonade.

We did not wait long for the orders to be served. They first serve the lemonade on tall glasses. When you hold the glass it wasn’t cold although there was ice. You can also see the lemon and lemon’s pulp into the glass. I took a sip of the lemonade and since it was not cold I can taste the zest of the lemon that tickled my throat.

Then next is the Caesare Salad. The salad was a simple mixture of lettuces, croutons and bacon bits covered with dressings. It is not a big serving but the lack of size was compensated by the rich taste of the ingredients with the dressing.

The Dirty Fingers came in next with the Frutti de Mare. I was actually surprised to see the Dirty Fingers. I thought it would be thin strips of chicken with one to three inches long but I was wrong. The strips were big and go along very well with the honey mustard dip.   

We ordered a large size of the Frutti de Mare since we will be sharing the pasta, but when all the foods were served my sister and I knew that the food we ordered is more than what we can eat. A first sight the pasta looks very simple but when you tossed it all the seafood are hidden below except for the mussels that are aligned at the corner of the bowl. Aside from the sea foods, the pasta also has a lot of sauce, just what every Filipino wants with a pasta.

All in all me and my sister loved the food at Gotti’s. The serving was just right and it also very affordable if you will compare it to other Italian restaurant.
