She made tuna and regular carbo...

 

but if I must... CPK... Sbarro... Don Henricos are good places to go...

don bosco serves good vongole. 

 

if youre into seafood,  cantineta along pasong tamo has good lobster pasta.  a bit on the creamy side, it uses the fat of the lobster for the sauce.

Does anyone knows where I can get a pecorino romano and regiano cheese??? 

Pwede ba ang parmesan cheese as substitute for those mentioned above for the pesto sauce???

Parmesan is typically the non-Italian perversion of parmigiano reggiano (the second of the two you asked for), although one source says grana padano is sometimes called parmesan as well. Parmigiano is from the Parma region of Italy, which is also the source of Parma ham.

 

Parmigiano reggiano and pecorino romano are aged, dry and quite sharp, pargmigiano reggiano usually being aged 18 months or more. Goes well with a good cabernet suavignon or sangiovese.

 

Grana padano may also show up labeled "parmesan". It's similar although typically aged less than parmigiano reggiano, comes from other parts of Italy, typically Lombardy. Very nice, creamy but with a hint of sharpness to it. A bit softer, and not as crumbly.

 

Pecorino romano is an aged sheep's milk cheese usually from Sardinia (although there are producers in other parts of Italy as well). Like parmigiano, it is a hard, crumbly sharp cheese ideal for grating and serving over or with pasta.

 

To your second question - a more appropriate question would be, "Is parmesan (Kraft or other brand) an adequate substitute for parmigiano reggiano?" And the answer is - it depends on how authentic you want to be and how picky your taste buds are! Pesto traditionally calls for parmigiano reggiano, but many substitute perocino romano and even grana padano. I would NOT substitute anything other than these cheeses, personally. The Kraft version of these cheese is much blander and doesn't blend or melt quite the same way as the real stuff.

Anyone of you guys have tried the Chili Garlic Shrimp Pasta in Don Henrico's??

Try it, its quite good. :cool:

 

Italliani's has some alright pasta as well.

I like Penne Arriabiata, but I don't seem to find this in most restaurants and/or Italian restaurant.

 

Hope this helps.

You can try AmoRoma along Legaspi street, Legaspi Village. Pasta and Pizza are very good. You can also try their Bomboloni for appetizers. If you love Risotto, try Le' Opera.
