New Authentic Italian Flavors at Lombardi’s

Great to know that Lombardi's (read my other blog post about Chef Davide here) will be opening a branch in Shangri-La Mall with more main course delights on its menu! :)

Press Release: 

Since its opening last year, Lombardi’s is no longer just a place to enjoy authentic Italian pizza and pasta.  As more and more diners come to its flagship restaurant in Robinsons Magnolia Place, Chef Davide Lombardi and his team decided to give their patrons more options to experience original, classic Italian gastronomy as he introduces new dishes in their menu.  These new additions will also be felt as Lombardi’s readies to open its second branch at the 4th floor of the new East wing section of Shangri-La Mall in Edsa.

These seven new main course offerings will surely satisfy those who crave for more than just pizza and pasta, as many of these dishes are Chef Davide’s take on classical home-cooked recipes he learned in his home in Milan. Make sure you try each and every one of them before you say, “Magnifico!”

Craving for the most exquisite of beef dishes?  Help yourself with Tagliata di Manzo, made with the choicest imported rib-eye steak, thinly sliced and baked in the oven with rosemary and served with mashed potatoes and caramelized balsamic sauce.

Also, give in to the thousand delights of Spezzatino al Vino Rosso.  Using the best imported beef stewed in Italian red wine and hearty vegetables and complemented with mashed potatoes, this is a classic you’ll come back for over and over.

Those who love tenderloin steak will fall for the flavors of Bistecca di Manzo, pan-seared imported tenderloin steak served with truffle cream sauce, patate gratinate (baked potatoes) and buttered vegetables.

Treat yourself to one of the tastiest classical Milanese beef dishes with Ossobucco alla Milanese.  The dish speaks for itself: stewed beef shank cooked ala Chef Davide’s style, with a side of risotto.

Crave for the awesome goodness of salmon with Salmone Arrosto in Cream al Basil.  Even meat lovers will have a change of heart as they sample the tender meat of the pan-roasted salmon, made more mouthwatering with Italian basil cream sauce and buttered greens.

Chicken may be the white meat, but you’ll find out that it can be packed with flavors!  Coscie di Pollo is an elegant chicken dish, composed of chicken thigh stuffed with porcini mushrooms and Italian herbs and served with Salsa Rosa and patate gratinate.

If you want to your chicken leaner but still scrumptious, try Involtini di Pollo della Valtellina – rolled chicken breast with north Italian ingredients  such as smoked Italian ham, fontina cheese and fresh sage, and eaten best with Risotto Ai Porcini.

Enjoy these and Chef Davide’s other culinary creations at Lombardi’s, where you can experience Italian cuisine at its purest form!  Check out their branches 2nd Floor Alfresco, Robinsons Magnolia Place (961-2795) and their forthcoming new branch in Shangri-La Mall.
