NONNA'S PASTA AND PIZZERIA (ROBINSON'S GALLERIA)

Remember the time when I won loads of Robinson's GCs in our EAT BULAGA Christmas party?

Well I haven't used a peso from it because I don't really go to Robinson's malls that much.

One night however, enough was enough. I told the Yub that we have been putting off buying him "brips" because we wanted to save money by using the GCs. So we braved the Saturday traffic in Ortigas to go to Robinson's Galleria and shop our brains out.

You should have seen us in the department store -- gone were the faces that would mentally calculate the total and subtract it from our budget, we got everything we wanted.

If Andrei liked this black polo, put it in the basket.
If the Mati asked for socks, put it in the basket.
Remembering that we needed new pans, put it in the basket.
There's 50% off in granny knickers, put it the basket.
There's extra extra small brips for the Yub, PUT IT IN THE BASKET.

Whatever my guys fancied, they could get. The sky was their frikkin limit (below P24,000 of course). 

He he he he he he he he!!!!

All that shopping made us all hungry. With that, we marched over to the restaurant that we've been wanting to try in Robinson's -- NONNA'S PASTA AND PIZZERIA.

I have actually been to NONNA'S before when I gave the Yub a surprise birthday party for his 40th birthday. We all loved the food and promised to return but their Nuvali branch was just so far from where we lived.

Good thing that NONNA'S opened in Robinson's Galleria because the Yub and I wanted the boys to try it out. You know us, when we had an enjoyable experience, we'd immediately share it with our boys.

Come to think of it, our dinner at NONNA'S motivated me more to go to Robinsons than the GCs because that was the night when I was craving for some pasta! He he he he he he!!!!

Oh well. Everybody happy. It's great too that we had a lot of GCs left so that means we have another excuse to go to Robinsons Galleria..... and NONNA'S!

NONNA'S PASTA AND PIZZERIA!!!!!!!

Like their Nuvali branch, NONNA'S in Robinson's Galleria was bright, colorful, and had that homey rustic feel.

Personally, I found decors to be a cross between a cafe that you would like to stay in for a looooong time, and your loving Tita's home where you'll get spoiled rotten. He he he he he he he!

Did that make sense? I surely hope not!

The Andrei and I went ahead because my GCs were taking too long to process (ha ha ha ha ha ha). 

NONNA'S condiments!

Yay! Everyone's here na!!!!

ROLL CALL!!!!

Master Mati and Kuya Jon Jon!!!

Number 5 and Dolores!!!!

(Guess what series I'm watching now??)

Wait... I forgot to take a picture of me and the Yub! He he he he. MEH. Just refer to top picture.

Ordering up!

I love how when ordering, I look like I'm giving the server the plot line to the  new Avenger's movie. He he he he he!

Ew.

Check out my Kuya's face. He's like "Egad. Stop it already!!"

Kidding! He's super bait and kind. Promise. That's why we all love him. :)

First on the table is NONNA'S Mozzarella Sticks (P180.00)!

These were gone in no time. He he he he he! Yep! We're hungry.

Kuya Jon suggested we get the NONNA'S Chicken Fingers (P180.00) for extra munchies.

These were nice and crunchy but it would have been better if they had creamy dips instead of just the Marinara and Barbecue sauces.

Wohooo!!!

Carbo loading rules!!!!

I was in the mood for something creamy so we got the NONNA'S Carbonara (P245.00)!

It was good but not mind-blowingly awesome. I think it just needs a dash of salt or something.

We also ordered the NONNA'S Vongole Spaghetti (P285.00) because it would be a good match with our other cheesy grub.

We all liked this more than the Carbonara. The oils were extra flavorful too that we mopped our bread in it.

For pizzas, we got the combination of 4-Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza (P350.00).

We wanted to try both but we might not be able to finish it.

The Yub requested for the NONNA'S Marghareta Pizza (P295.00) because he just wanted a plain pizza but didn't like the blue cheese in the 4-Cheese.

When we have this, my guys always pick out the basil leaves. I usually zoink it for my own eating purposes. He he he he he he!

ERICJAZ FOODIES with the little lords and Kuya Jon!

LET'S EAT!!!!

For dessert, the NONNA'S manager gave us this complimentary Strawberry Panna Cotta because we were cute. He he he he he he he!

The Yub loved this and scraped it clean.

DONE!!!

Le bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For dessert, the bunsoy baby requested for some Coldstone Ice Cream. We also hung out there to chat some more.

Great dinner with my boys and Kuya Jon!!!! 

Isn't it great that our motivation to shop is for PIZZAS and BRIPS??

He he he he he he!!!!

SURPRISING YUB FOR BIRTHDAY IN NONNAS

Huhuhu!!!! My dress got caught in the Robinson's escalator!!!!! I immediately yanked it off because I was afraid that like in cartoons, it would get all sucked in and I'll be bold. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Oh well.... I wonder if I could still have it repaired???
