Gotti's Ristorante

Note: This restaurant is already closed. 

My college friends and I decided to meet up for lunch out-cum-mini-reunion. I was so excited that I will get to try this restaurant, but it was closed when I got there so our venue became Gotti's Ristorante.

I've seen Gotti's so many times already but I haven't tried it yet. I was wishing it would not just be another Italian restaurant. The place was not too crowded at that time and the ambiance is cosmo Italian.

The good thing about Gotti's is that they have vegetarian dishes for the health-conscious, they also have solo and to share servings.

Here's what our group ordered:

We ordered two pizzas: Margherita (Php 260) and Mi Mama's Quattro Formaggi (Php 295).

Margherita

Mi Mama's Quattro Formaggi

Gotti's offers 12 inches stone-baked crisp and chewy thin-crust pizzas. Margherita pizza has fresh basil slivers and mozzarella while Mi Mama's Quattro Formaggi has parmesan, mozzarella, cream, and blue cheese.

I personally prefer the Quattro Formaggi, but the Margherita, a simple and healthy pizza tastes good too.

A friend ordered Chicken Marsala (Php 255).

Chicken Marsala

Chicken Marsala is chicken breast fillet sauteed in marsala wine and bacon strips served with marsala gravy. It is served with herbed rice and vegetables. For those who still prefer rice, Gotti's also offers rice dishes like the Chicken Marsala. I think the chicken is a bit bland for my taste, a bit of salt would help.

We ordered three kinds of pasta: Garlic Shrimp Pasta (Php 290, to share), Grilled Chicken Pesto (Php 255, to share), and Frutti di Mare (Php 300, to share).

Garlic Shrimp Pasta

Grilled Chicken Pesto

Frutti di Mare

Garlic Shrimp Pasta has shrimps, mushrooms, garlic in olive oil. Grilled Chicken Pesto has grilled chicken breast fillet in pesto sauce while Frutti di Mare has a variety of seafood like shrimps, squid rings, and mussels in marinara sauce.

I personally liked the Garlic Shrimp Pasta. The Grilled Chicken Pesto tastes good though it was too oily for me.

Overall, it was a good choice for big groups like us and a nice alternative for the health-conscious. It is quite affordable too (I think we paid less than Php 2000 for 10 persons).

Will I go back? I think I would so I can try the dessert and other pizzas.
