Gino's Brick Oven Pizza - A Review

I was craving for some Italian food last week when my friend mentioned about Gino's Brick Oven Pizza in Salcedo Village. We were in the vicinity after visiting our friend in Makati Medical Center, so we went there to binge on Italian food. And I was glad we did.

First we had the Burrata with House Salad. I love Burrata because it makes anything you have with it taste so much better. By the way, Burrata is mozzarella cheese filled with cream, which makes it taste buttery and rich. It becomes even more heavenly with a drizzle of spiced honey.


We then had the Lemon Mushroom Pasta. It is a cream-based fettuccine with mushroom served with a side of lemon. The lemon needs to be squeezed into the pasta to bring out the flavors of the dish. The mushroom makes the flavor quite earthy and the zing of the lemon makes the combination very interesting and addicting. 


For pizza, we had the famous Smegg. This pizza comprises of homemade sausage, mushroom, eggs, Gouda cheese and cream. The musty raw egg together with smoked mushrooms make the taste quite interesting and very different from the pizzas that we've had.


We also had the Queen Margherita pizza. This is my favorite since I love kesong puti and tomatoes. 


Gino's Brick Oven Pizza is now one of my favorite Italian restaurants. Now, I need to lose all the extra pounds that I gained with all food that I ate! LOL!
