Fino Deli: Cinco Queso, Truffle Mushroom Pasta, and more!
Fino Deli |
If you're looking for a romantic fine dining date spot in Marikina that won't hurt your pocket that much, Fino Deli is the perfect place for you. This Italian Spanish restaurant, that opened around 10 months ago serving imported wines from Romania, is one of the restaurants we visited during the Hunger Games Day2: Marikina organized by Zomato, ABS-CBN, and Choose Philippines.

Class, elegance is all over the place. The atmosphere is so romantic! It is also a plus that they have a spacious parking lot. The staff are great and provide 5-star quality service.

Cold Cuts and Cheese Platter |
Well, what do I know about cold cuts and cheeses? We were served 3 kinds of Cold Cuts and Cheese Platter. These are best paired with wines, as they say, though I don't drink wine nor anything alcoholic anymore. So I guess I'm missing the best of it.
For someone not knowledgeable on this, I enjoyed the Spanish Manchego Cheese and Italian Prosciutto with Olives (Platter 1) and the Dutch Aged Gouda and Italian Salami with Olives (Platter 2). These two suited my palate the most.

Truffle Mushroom Pasta (265Php)
Linguine pasta with fresh wild mushroom paste drizzled with truffle oil
Truffle Mushroom Pasta |
Truffle Mushroom Pasta has subtle taste but very evident mushroom flavor. Serving can be shared by two and so I was surprised that it's just less Php 300!
Cinco Queso (499Php)
5 kinds of cheeses with creamy white sauce
Cinco Queso |
Cinco Queso, oh my gosh! I've probably forgotten other cheese pizzas that I've tried before and instantly hailed it as the best cheese pizza! This is so good and exploding with different cheese flavors: mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, blue cheese, cream cheese. The crust is thin and soft that it emphasized more of the toppings.

Ambiance, service, food -- everything is great! I'm glad to have discovered this place. Cinco Queso -- never miss this when you dine at Fino Deli!
