Amici’s New Italian Dishes and 6th Anniversary Buy 1, Take 1 Promo

Back when we were still living in Makati and Rap was in Prep at the Don Bosco Technical Institute, we would always dine at Amici de Don Bosco. I never got to eat there for lunch because the place would always be full of office workers taking their lunch break. Usually, I would have merienda there with other soccer moms while we wait for our boys to finish their training. Those were such happy times! Their pizza and pasta were my comfort food. The year was 2006.

Fast forward to 2013, the once quaint Italian “carinderia” has now grown to include 7 more branches around the metro under the management of the father and son team of Danny and Philip Moran. Even after acquiring the business from the Salesian priests who set up and managed the restaurant in 2007, the Morans continue to maintain the friendship by supporting Tuloy Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization founded by Salesian priest, Fr. Rocky Evangelista. In fact, Php 10 from the sales of items listed in the “Tuloy Speciali” Amici Menu goes directly to the foundation to help fund their projects.

In celebration of their 6th year in the business, Amici recently introduced 10 new dishes to their menu. Prepare to drool as I tempt you with these food shots!

Asian Chicken Salad (Php 195) – Breaded chicken slices, oranges, and carrots are mixed over salad greens then topped with fried wonton strips and served with sesame dressing.

 

Mediterranean Blue Cheese and Walnut Salad (Php 195) – A blue cheese, candied walnuts, arugula, and grapes combo over greens and served with red wine vinaigrette.

 

Truffle Mushroom Pizza (Php 430) – A luxe choice with portobello, shitake, and porcini mushrooms mixed with truffle oil, mozzarella cheese, and topped with arugula.

Prosciutto Portobello Pizza Roll (Php 242) – A pizza roll with prosciutto, protobello mushrooms, cream cheese, and arugula served with roasted garlic dip.

 

Prosciutto & Artichoke Cream Pizza Roll (Php 242) – Another pizza roll, but this time with the rich flavors of artichoke cream, cream cheese, prosciutto, and arugula, all tempered with reduced balsamic vinegar.
