La Bella Teodorico: An Italian Restaurant in the Heart of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar


After a tiring day of touring Las Casas beautiful and historic houses (Please follow this link to read about our Heritage Tour: Las Casas Heritage Tour) ~ our excitement taking photos and touring every inch of the resort was cut short by the grumbling of our stomach.
 
My brother offered to pay for our dinner and my husband and I willingly obliged (lol)

Rule #1:
Don't say no to free food, besides free food tastes so much better.


There are plenty of food options inside the resort:

Café Marivent ~ A Filipino -Spanish Restaurant
La Bella Teodora - Italian Dining
Café del Rio - with Tapas as specialty

We were in the mood for some pizza and pasta and so we headed to La Bella Teodora.


We were served a complimentary basket of breads with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip
~ one of the tastiest we have tasted.

Everything that we ordered tasted very good. Food were flavorful and freshly prepared (in layman's term takes a while to prepare) 

Calamari was cooked perfect ~ crispy outside, soft inside and deep in flavor.

Pasta Marina ~ they obviously did not skimped on shrimps. 
This is my favorite. I could have eaten the entire plate.

Carbonara was as delectable, but I am not into white sauces. 



Quattro Formaggi (4 Cheese) Pizza
It is a thin and crunchy while there was an ample amount of melted cheese as topping.

Me and my husband were too full for desert.

However, my brother loving Tiramisu just couldn't say no to it, when saw it listed on the menu.

My brother's Tiramisu (Yup ALL his :P)

My sister in law also had 2 orders of Sangria. 
Must have been good. 

VERDICT:
We all loved La Bella Teodorico. 

Food is wonderful though a bit pricey, but I cannot complain on that one as I had free dinner.

If you are visiting Las Casas de Acuzar and craving Italian cuisine, we highly recommend La Bella Teodorico. 

Molto delizioso!

More than Just Coffee ~ Art Capital Cafe

Have you been to the Art Capital of the Philippines? 
 
Angono Rizal is the famed art capital of the country, home to two of our National Artists ~ Maestro Lucio San Pedro for music and Carlos "Botong" Francisco for arts. 
 
Other known artists from Angono includes Nemiranda, Perdigon, Blanco and Tiamson.
  
Numerous public and private art galleries about in Angono, was not surprised to see a coffee shop in Angono joining the coffee shop cum art gallery bandwagon.
 
Come ~ Art Capital Café (ACC), a home grown local business establishment where you can have your coffee amidst beautiful paintings and art pieces. 
 
 
It was nearing Nov 1, hence the web strings decorated store facade. 
 
 
The place is homey and interesting. Paintings from new and aspiring artists adorn ACC's walls. 
 

The coffee shop has an adjoining gallery, showcasing more art pieces and paintings, the gallery looks promising from the outside, unfortunately we were not able to enter since it was already late when we visited ACC.  

 

I had brewed coffee and shared dessert with my husband.

 
Coffee so aromatic, you know it's good.
For dessert we had Mango Pavlova. 
 
Dessert was very good too.

 
 
 
ACC also serves pasta, sandwiches and all-day breakfast.  Will surely give their these a try when we return.
 
If you are heading to Angono or anywhere near the area, drop by and give ACC a visit.
 
ACC is located along

M.L. Quezon Avenue, Brgy. San Isidro
Angono Rizal


Store hours:
Monday - 4pm to10pm
Tuesdays to Thursdays - 12nn to 10pm
