Trattoria Friuli

79-A Maginhawa St., UP Village, Quezon City

Italian cuisine 

I am a fan of this place. We discovered Friuli around 2007 and we keep coming back ever since. It has become our to-go place whenever we ran out of ideas of food to eat or whenever we'd crave for something Italian. The place also has become a source of comfort food for us. Ok, we do not really frequent the place on a weekly basis but we do try to eat there whenever we are in the area, especially now that I have started taking graduate studies.


Before Friuli, establishments (where Friuli is) would change every now and then, lasting only a year. It is not surprising to still see Friuli in Maginhawa because of the good and cheap food they offer.

Since there is only BF and I, we don't really get to order a lot whenever we go there. It is just usually a pasta and a pizza combination. BF likes angel hair pasta puttanesca so we almost always end up having that every time we go there. I like their spicy-tuna carbonara. It has a kick in its creaminess. They also have anti-pasto like the Ravioli. The raviolis were biiig. It was like mini calzone. Their mozarella bites are also very good.

For the pizza, I really like their Buono Verde and the Tres Formaggio. Their seafood pizza is comparable to the anchovies pizza of Aveneto. 

I'm back

... after an extremely long hiatus.

I don't know why I stopped writing.. But I feel like writing again.

And so much happened since my last blog post.

1. I finished my master's degree, three years after starting it.

2. Gained lifelong friends. One evening, while having lunch with my grad school friends, Tatay Gonz asked me what I think I gained from grad school. I answered back, "I gained friends." Then he rephrased it, "No, I mean, professionally.". And I answered, "I gained professional friends."

3. Then-BF is now a lawyer. After four years of law school and roughly six months of bar exams preparation, he is now a lawyer! He joked that his official title is AtEng. Get it?

4. Got engaged and got married! Yehey.

5. Did some local and international travels, both work and leisure.

And this means, I have so much backlog.

So what bit me to start writing again? Hmm... to vent out my kitchen bloopers! Seriously, I made so many already that it's such a pity not to share.
