More Reasons to Love CAFE VIA ANGELO

I love cafes that are open on Sundays, especially in a small city like Marikina. Last weekend when we had some hunger pangs late Sunday night, we drove along JP Rizal looking for open food places and we were all smiles when we saw that Cafe Via Angelo is still open!

The coolest thing I remember about this restaurant (aside from its coziness) is the warm service provided by the staff, they're so nice and very accommodating. I remember them running out of iced tea stock but since I ordered it one of the crew had to run off to the nearest convenience store to get a pack. Aww! I know it's their responsibility to stock up, some of you might think, but still!!! Some foodie places would have easily said 'not available'. ;-)

See how late it was? No people. Almost closing time. Hihi!

We dismissed the idea of ordering pizza since we have previously tried their pizza (which was really good and loaded with toppings). I have always been curious about their sandwiches and at the same time craved pasta, so yes, we ended up ordering those.

While waiting for our orders, I ask for a slice of chocolate cake. Hehe, dessert before the meal. Not sure if that's a very good practice.

*Wink*. Whatever floats my boat.

Halfway through the fudgy cake, our orders arrive:

 Fish and Chips (145 PhP)

 Pesto Mare Pasta (145 PhP)

Tuna Sandwich (90 PhP)

So: thank you Cafe Via Angelo for remaining open even on Sunday night! Burp.

CAFE VIA ANGELO

Marikina will never run out of great hang out places, I assure you.

We have been waiting for this cafe to open for the longest time. We often swing by Macky's Goto and once we saw the marquee of this cafe being put up just across the street, we knew we will be in its first wave of customers. A few weeks ago, they finally opened their doors to diners like us so we can check out this new cool place that is CAFE VIA ANGELO.

The menu offers a lot, I cannot say that they serve a specific type of cuisine, but all the items sure looked interesting. We decided to go Italian that night.

Cafe Via Angelo Pizza

First up - the Cafe Via Angelo pizza. We didn't know that it was that BIG. And that LOADED. I am a sucker for pizzas that are served with loads and loads of cheese. We loved this one, and for amazing eaters (yes, that's the term) like us, we didn't finish it. Told you, it was really good, but HUGE. This is perfect for families or barkadas!

Seafood Marinara Pasta

We also tried their pasta. This one's the seafood marinara (I'm sure you can judge from the prawn head gracefully sticking out... hehe!) I loved the sauce and the seafood flavors. One more thing I loved about the pasta? The bread! I forgot to ask the type of bread they served with the pasta... I think it had walnuts in it! Yum!

 House Blend Iced Tea

To end our meal, of course, we ordered cakes. The cool thing about Cafe Via Angelo is that they serve different cakes all the time (that's what I heard), so every time you visit, you may have a new set of cakes to choose from.

 Yema Cake. Yema Cake. Yema Cake. (We got the corner slice, thus, the rosettes! Hehe)

 Chocolate Decadence. This was actually a slice of chocolate-cheesecake-heaven.

I forgot the name of the cake, but It was chocolate based with marshmallow frosting and toffee crunch filling. Our favorite cake among the three we've tried.

A cool place to hang out, on weekend afternoons, or food trip dates, or after church (this is a few meters from Our Lady of the Abandoned Church). Visit Cafe Via Angelo to relax and indulge for a while!
