Mmmm... Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen! *****

BF Paranaque never ceases to amaze me. There's so many good restaurants here. We discovered an amazing Italian Restaurant in Mama Lou's, it's an old house at Tropical Avenue that they transformed into a casual dining Italian place. It's located at the far end of Aguirre Street, near BF International the streets are not well lighted because this is the far end of BF, but there is ample parking and the area is well guarded.

The interiors are quite simple and there's a framed black and white picture of Mama Lou on the wall.
The place has earned its keep as one of the must-visit restaurants in Summit Media's Eat Out Now Restaurant Guide.

 

For starters, they served bread with 2 kinds of dip, pesto and pomodoro.

Bacon Poutine (Php 195)

My heart was racing when I saw Poutine on the menu. Canadian Fries and with bacon!
The fries were not the commercial type frozen ones, you can see it with the uneven cuts. It was fried just right and not too soggy. A light gavy is poured over the fries with cheese curds. And when you bite into it, boom! Hello delicious! I wonder if they serve a larger portion of this.

Caprese Bruschetta Php 225

Their Caprese Bruschetta is filling but could use a thinner bread. The bread can become hard after a few minutes of toasting. Chopped tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, it's messy to eat but it's an enjoyable mess.

Chef's Special

Craving for Panizza? They have very mean version of it. They serve pizzas with the thinnest and crunchiest crust. The toppings are generous and of course arugula and alfalfa sprouts. One more point
for Mama!

Spaghetti Seafood Olio Php 295

For pastas, the Spaghetti Seafood Olio sauce is a must-try. It's very light and tasty and they were generous with the seafood. If you like things light, how about trying this Spaghettini Pomodoro Basilico? With just tomatoes and basil, less is indeed more.

If you're not from the South, this place is indeed worth the trip, great food selections, homey ambiance at affordable prices. A great place to bring your family and friends.
There is also a branch at Solenad 2 at Nuvali.

Budget: about 300 - 400 per head
