We had dinner at Gressini's, a quaint Italian-themed trattoria on Magsaysay Avenue. We were informed by the chef that they have not had yet their grand opening. "Soft opening pa lang po kami." This statement elicited snickers from the group since we have been talking about just that before we headed to Gressini's. Soft opening, private entrance, hard core. ha.ha.ha.
After much discussion as to what to order, we decided to have a salad (Okay but not really mind-blowingly impressive), Spinach Ravioli (It was rather dry and underseasoned but the cream sauce was tasty), and pizza (Di-vine, especially when topped with their special chili sauce).
After dinner, we decided to get a bit sloshed. So we piled into Mngr. Nonoy's car and headed to Jelatto. It was a pleasant surprise when Dr. Jeane and I found out that the margarita was on a buy-1-take-1 promo offer! I had a glass the previous night at another bar when I went out with Ivy and I was still craving for more! Needless to say, we immediately ordered 1 each. Ol' Maggie didn't disappoint us. It was yum-mee! Heaven in a glass! I was grinning from ear to ear after every sip! Trainer Doris, on the other hand, decided to order Mango Shake. "Just in case I'm, you know...wink, wink!" :-)
The boys proceeded to order a bucket of Premium SMB. I haven't seen or tasted one before. Of course, i checked it out. It was a bit sweeter than regular beer and i love it!
It was a great night, in all. Even Jett the Messiah stayed on even if he planned to go home early.
Next outing: June 20. Ya-hoo.
