Okiiniri is a Casual Japanese Restaurant and Izakaya at the Aguirre Avenue Area of BF Homes Subdivision in Paranaque City. It is one of the popular Japanese restaurants that populates the area due to its affordable price and nice location. The place is not that big but still it is packed full of people suring lunch time and dinner.

"It is with utmost regret that we inform you all that Pito & Mita Restaurant is closing its doors effective Monday, January 16, 2012. Thank you very much for your patronage and support over the last year and a half. It has been our pleasure to serve you the way we know how.

We hope to still be able to see you before formally closing after dinner, this Sunday. We would also like to let you know that we will continue accepting food orders and small catering requests even beyond January 15. Just contact Pia Kasilag at +63917.555.3153 for any inquiries.

Thank you again for your continued support. God bless you all!" :(

Pito and Mita was conceptualized by the brother and sister tandem of Paolo Dela Fuente, who asks acts as the Operation Manager and Pia Dela Fuente-Kasilag, the chef. They too are the owners.

It is short for Papito and Mamita, terms of endearment for their parents.

The place is like "your home away from home."

I don't know about you, but no matter how great your mother is in the kitchen when you were little (well, my mom is one of the best cooks I know), whenever you eat at a neighbor's house you feel like eating at a five star restaurant. On the other hand, when you're grownup and in a foreign country, you would long for your mother's cooking.

Pito and Mita caters to both of those emotions and so much more.

It has a homey atmosphere, but the food served is like that of a five star restaurant. It's almost like "mom's cooking"too, if you catch my drift.

Taste wise, it is comparable to the best cuisines all over the world.

Besides Mediterranean dishes, they also serve Asian dishes.

They have two function rooms (1 room can accomodate 15 pax and another can accomodate 10 pax) that can be used for meetings or small get-togethers...or you can use the whole area for a mini party. :)



Operating hours:
Lunch - 12:00 - 2:30pm
Dinner - 6:00pm - 10pm
EVERYDAY

Favorite Dish: Wow! I can now say that this restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants in the Parañaque City area. I have been dining there almost every week. Some people even asked me if I own the place or at least, a part owner. No, I'm not. I just love the place...and of course, the food and the service. Having great caring owners adds icing to the already delicious cake!

Lately, I have been dining outside my hometown so I rarely visit this place, but they are always in my thoughts because it's really a nice and cozy place with good food to match.

Every dish that we eat mouthwatering. Just look at the pictures. I may not be a great photographer, but I must say that the food does not only look good, they really taste good too!

My favorites are the Eggplant Lasagna and the Parmesan Crusted Baked Fish.

My mom "hates" artichokes so I did not tell her that the dip was made of spinach and artichoke the first time we wen t there. She kept on dipping the melba toast and even finished it. After finishing it I finally told her that what it was made of. She couldn't believe it. It was so delectable. It's "to die for"!.

The tomato moringa dish is a great vegetarian delight.

Ok, I'm not really vegetarian, but I have made a pact not to eat beef and pork because... :)
so that pasta dish is a welcome treat.

They also have cakes and other items I have yet to try.

Every week they have specials that you could look forward to.

Last Friday, 29 July 2011, they launched Pito's originals (recipes he inherited from his ancestors).

So what are you waiting for?

Come visit them at 176 Aguirre Avenue, BF Homes, Parañaque City!

They also have delivery (87878) and as of late, they accept major credit and debit cards.

Natalie, one of the owners of the restaurant (I don't know her Chinese name) really knows her stuff...she knows how to bake and is familiar with the traditions of her family...sometimes, she's a bit shy, but she tries her best to make everyone feel welcome in their restaurant.

It's not really a very classy restaurant, but the food's quality is great and super affordable...the servings are big and even without my mom or dad's senior citizen discount or RJ's person with disability card, we are usually happy with our bill.

The servers, well, except during an ultra busy day, they are okay. They try their best to accommodate everyone with a smile. I really could not blame them when the place is filled to the brim.



Major credit cards are accepted

Favorite Dish: Try everything! :)

The food is great and inexpensive.

This used to be a restaurant where simplicity is bliss. They are temporarily just offering services for food orders, delivery, and catering.

I assure you, they would not disappoint your impeccable or discriminating taste.

:)

Cheers!

Favorite Dish: Pata Tim

Cold Cuts

The different fish dishes

Noodles

Soup

etc.

note: Right now they are just into catering and delivery (they are still thinking if they should still open the restaurant again because they are already very successful in those two "fields")

Papa John's is one of the best Pizza delivery services in the US of A and ever since it hit the Philippines it has been the talk of the town. They have branches in Megamall(3rd Fl Bldg A), Robinson's Galleria (Veranda), Taft Avenue (University Mall), Greenhills (Annapolis St.), etc. so I was very excited when I learned the "he" was coming to my neighborhood.

The servings are smaller than other pizza places, but the price is just right. At least, that's my opinion.

The service crew are well-trained and the managers are very courteous.

Some love it. Some say it's a hype.

As far as I'm concerned, I liked my experience.

Why not give them a visit and see for yourself.

Favorite Dish: No favorites yet, but I love everything I tasted so far.

I'll definitely be back.

Yellow Cab Pizza is one of the upcoming local pizza chains that gives pizza hut and dominos pizza a run for their money. Founded in 2001 and the title of the Resto is a play on the famous Manhattan Yellow Cab Taxis and by association, the new york style pizza. It is not the largest local pizza chain (that distinction is from Greenwhich Pizza) but they sure have better tasting pizzas than in the other local chains and they have pizza dough that is in the middle of thick crust and thin crusts and the best thing is they have the really large american sizes of 14" and 18" inches respectively. They are positioned as a quick casual restaurant, serving great pizza using fresh ingredients sourced locally and from australia and new zealand.

Favorite Dish: the assorted pizza off course, they have the typical pepperoni or their own manhattan lovers pizza or the new york lovers pizza and other pizza flavors that start from 305 pesos for a 10" to 755 pesos for an 18" size. They also have the traditional spaghetti and pasta meals and the buffalo chicken wings and prices starts from 120 to 250 pesos.

My smoking days were over ages ago after I collapsed in front of a family friend's house in a posh residential area in Makati City that I'm careful of going to places where I'll be exposed to smoke (I'm even allergic to incense!)

Le Souk IS a smoking bar and grill type of restaurant, but they do have a room for non-smokers beside Cafe Boheme.

We ordered a lot of tasty food and their fabulous Persian Squeeze. It's alcoholic, yes, but even non-drinkers would love it!

When she asked for the tab we were PLEASANTLY surprised to find out that among the FIVE of us, the bill we were supposed to split was only a little over a thousand Philippine Pesos.

That's value for money!
