"Eating is a family art in Italy. Surrounded by food and wines of the country, births are announced, weddings are performed, and anniversaries are celebrated. At Itallanis restaurants we bring this passion to each and every item in our menu, authentically prepared with finest and freshest ingredients. "

Don't you just love paydays? Everyone does but more so us Makati Brunch Clubbers. It's a day when we can splurge and eat to our stomachs' content at any restaurant in Makati.
This payday, we went Italianni's at Greenbelt 2. (Actually, we were craving for the Japanese food at Yaku at the Somerset, but due to ongoing renovations, that review would have to wait until August.)

Smoked Salmon Pizza
Before anything else, forgive us for the pictures of the half eaten food we ordered at this Italian restaurant in Makati. The only excuse we can give is that we were so hungry we totally forgot to take photos. Anyway, because of the sashimi cravings, we decided on the Smoked Salmon Pizza and it was good. Not great mind you, I found the crust too chewy for my taste. I tend to like my pizzas with a little crunch in them. (If you guys are looking for an Italian restaurant in Cebu, try La Tegola Ristorante! The Parma Ham is yummy!) .

The smoked salmon was satisfying, with the many flavors ‐ cheese and dill, among them blending very well with the fish.
Baked Ziti
The baked ziti of this Italian restaurant in Makati was fantastic. Italianni's baked ziti was very good; the meat and sauce was delicious. It wasn't flavored for the Filipino preference of sweet tomato pastas. A little dash with Tabasco sauce and it's perfect. The Italianni bread looked yummy as well but I'd have to get Lean's take on that since she was the only one who had a taste. Italianni's serving size is perfect for two. Maybe three if you're not too hungry. With the pizza, one serving was enough for three girls.
