Vivali’s pasta variety and quality of
cooking is impeccable, as are the restaurant’s pizza perfect choices. The
variety will make your taste buds crave it all. Vivali, owned by Cristin Gomaz
Rubio is a gem of a restaurant; it is pure Italian; even the name is bylined as
Ristorante-Bar.
The Gnocchi, ravioli and lasagna are
home-made from scratch. The grand
variety of delicate sauces Vivali conjures up makes the pasta ever-so palette
pleasing. Let’s not forget that this Italian place is big on meat and chicken
fare as well. The five-page bilingual menu attests to that.
They offer lunch and dinner combos, and
I landed there for the lunch one. First, I was served this delicate olive,
garlic, caper and oil pesto-type sauce into which I dipped their deliciously
tender home-made bread. I also had a Caesar
salad. How delicate it was in flavor, and I found the sliver-thin pieces of
parmesan cheese that topped it to be a darling touch. I then ordered on the
combo, a delicious penne perked up with pieces of sun dried tomatoes, tender
little chicken chunks and broccoli. An appealing wine sauce furthered its
savoury flavor. And it was filling! For dessert, which I could barely fit in, I
dove into the tiramisu. Sweet cream, chocolate and mascarpone cheese gently
sifted together to make a non-soggy tiramisu.
I found my favourite and highly
affordable Italian restaurant right here in San Miguel.
