MAMA LOU'S at UP TOWN CENTER KATIPUNAN

Overwhelming is an understatement. At MAMA LOU'S, they want you fed right and fed good.

This restaurant started down south a few years ago and has beautifully blossomed into an award winning endeavor. Presently, they have one up north in UP TOWN CENTER KATIPUNAN.

One could start off with a couple of appetizers just to get the blood flowing. An order of poutine or mozzarella would be perfect for the kids and kids at heart. The potatoes were freshly cut in house while the cheese was definitely spot on.

The pasta selection at MAMA LOU'S is a mouth full. They have a lot to offer the dining public.

From traditional dishes like SPAGHETTI MEATBALLS and LASAGNA to something more different.

A couple of interesting pasta dishes would be the MAC and CHEESE and the VONGOLE OLIO.

The TRUFFLED MAC and CHEESE was creamy and very decadent. The VONGOLE OLIO is definitely a crowd favorite. Light and sweet. Sauteed clams with white wine makes up for the sauce and gives it a bit of flare.

When it comes to main dishes, two stood out.

The SALPICAO and the RIB EYE was excellent. They were properly cooked and were very tender.The salpicao had that right amount of garlic while the rib eye goes well with its mushroom sauce.

These two meat dishes goes perfectly well with the RISOTTO.

For pizza, the TABARNES was an easy favorite. The anchovies stood out and gave it a bit of saltiness. Delicious.

Named as simply the MAMA LOU'S SPECIAL, made use of mango, arugula, prosciutto, and balsamic cream. Sweet and sour working hand in hand.
