Comfort food at Italianni's

Saturday after shift, I was feeling kinda tired. I got back to work after being under house arrest for 8 working days; and the fact that I worked for twelve hours on the first day made me kinda loopy. So, I decided that I deserved a treat. I was initially thinking of going to Flapjacks, a pancake place in Greenbelt 2. But, when I got there I just discovered that they had already closed! Fail. Good thing, right beside it was Italianni's. So I decided to have my lunch there instead (this was approaching twelve noon already).

Given that I am on a limited budget (I've decided not to go over 1k - heck, I'm broke enough as it is), I was kinda torn on what to order. I decided to order the bruschetta with tomato salad and mushroom, and for the main course I went with the herb roasted chicken. For the drink, I was pleasantly suprised they had Hi-C Apple. You see, I always order that whenever I'm at a Burger King. So to see that in Italianni's, well, you just have to go with it, right?

Overall, I had a very pleasant meal. I was stuffed after consuming almost everything (there were two pieces of bruschetta left). But it was very comforting, you know? Whenever I eat there, I always end up having a good time. Perhaps we can charge it to the fact that whenever I eat there, it was with friends. And it is always a treat to have good food with friends while sharing stories and laughing. Granted, I was by myself when I went there. But still, I guess it's also the feeling that I am blessed to enjoy good food, even when alone.

The classic complementary ciabatta with balsamic vinegar dip.
