Mercatto Centrale

[swiTsuplada]

Heard of this since last month (or Dec. ata) pa... planning to visit this place medyo maluwag na sched ko but I am really curious kung OK ba mga tinitinda nila dun (sa Banchetto Ortigas kasi medyo nagsawa ako sa mga pagkain para kasing pare-pareho na lang but I still love buying from there every Friday).

Anyone who've been here-- please share your rants and reviews... and please also share which food you bought from there that you'd like so far.

Only been here once.. this is just few blocks away from the place where we stay But it's a bit farther now since they moved near Home Depot na... I'd love to try their grilled burgers and sandwiches. I know they have lots of cakes too.

Went to the Midnight Mercato last weekend on my Harabas break. Tried Manang's Chicken, the 50 pesos pork barbeques, Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and a lasagna from the stall na super lapit sa entrance.

Manang's Chicken -- I feel super value for money ang prices nila! For the price, this is a great buy na. We tried the spicy glaze sauce.

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza -- We got the White Pizza. While my brother loved this (but he loves pizzas naman kasi), I feel sana yung pizza sauce nila bawasan nila ng sugar. Ang tamis kasi! Naiirita pa mandin ako sa red sauce na matamis

50 pesos Pork Barbeque-- super yuck. Antigas ng meat and ang tamis. Dami pa naman namin binili ~ 6 sticks, since fave ng niece ko ang barbeque.

Beefy Lasagna --- again, super sweet red sauce. While I love Jollibee Spaghetti, I do not expect to find the same sweetish sauce on more "upscale" pastas, especially for one selling for about 120 per serving~
