I have always planned on coasting along Maginhawa Street near U.P. and engaging in some serious but budget- friendly foodtrip. Got my chance today, in the company of 3 teens with good appetites ;-)
Those Food bloggers are absolutely right. Maginhawa Street is lined with so many tiny joints catering to different tastes. We passed shawarma, tapsilog, mexican, burger outlets before deciding on pasta and pizza at #79A Maginhawa Street.
We ordered the Tre Formaggi and Margaritha Pizzas. Both very good --- crunchy thin crust, cheesy and savoury. But the Tre Formaggi is really a winner.
We also tried the Pesto Pasta and Carbonara. Both bleh. Sorry. It's ok for the price, but if you really enjoy pasta, skip these 2. The Carbonara even looked drowning in cream sauce though it certainly looks better once blended. Just the same, my taste buds say "average".
Can't say how the other pasta dishes fare, but I'd go back for the pizzas. Value for money, dining for 4 at less than P800 ain't bad at all.
