ITALIANNI'S Restaurant, Reacquainting with the Old Time Favorite

Way back when I wasn’t a food blogger yet, Italianni's was one of those restaurants I always go to whenever I am cravings for Italian food.  Way before I fell in love with Bellini’s and Amoroma, there’s Italiannis to flirt my appetite and my palate with.

Then life happens.  I got into food blogging which led me into trying out different restaurants I haven’t visited yet.  For a while I wasn’t able to visit some of those which I used to frequent to.  That includes Italianni's.   But I always knew that whenever I want something relatively familiar to my palate, there’s always Italianni's.

Amidst trying out and discovering new places to dine in, there are moments when I knew by heart that I need to revisit my old time favorite.  Good thing that when a good friend and fellow food enthusiast I dearly call Tito Bong, who came from Qatar visited the country weeks ago, I was once again led to Italianni's.  It was a simple albeit wonderful evening shared with good friends I haven’t seen for quite a while, in a restaurant I dearly missed.

Bread & Bean Cafe: More Than Just Freshly Baked Breads

If you have read my post about Bread & Bean Café along J. Abad Santos St. in San Juan, you probably have an idea how I consider this café as one of those I hold dear to my heart. It has always been one of those I frequent to when I was still in college up to now that I am already working.

Needless to say, it has always been one of the few places I always feel at home. Memories have been accumulated all these years of my countless visits at the café. People whom I have shared a meal or two at Bread and Bean has come and go. Some remains, while others, well, they will always be remembered. Just like the fragments of memories I choose to carry with me, there dishes available at Bread and Bean Café that remains to be on the list of my favorites.
