Last weekend, I was in a dilemma where I wanted to spend my special late-lunch date with a good friend whom I only get to see once every 6 months or so. It was a toss between Italian, which would be in Rockwell, Makati City - or German which would be at The Fort in Taguig. I wasn't too crazy with the season's rushing crowd at The Fort so I opted for the former. Just across the Powerplant Mall is a perfectly hidden cove called Cantinetta. At half past 2 PM, there were just a few tables occupied. The place was practically set up for us!
As expected in upscale fares, each entree is carefully prepared, and food is scrumptuous. I'm also partial to a minimum crowd and a very cozy atmosphere. The interiors exuded a homey, sophisticated feel. Very classy!

A couple of times though, the server would approach us, asking if she could take our plates away! Duh! There was still half a slab of meat resting placidly on my plate, and I had all the right to consume it for two very particular reasons - despite the very thick slab-slice, it was tender and mouth-watering AND who would wanna throw away something that's not exactly cheap? LOL. I even had to ask them if they were closing shop already as they seemed to be in a hurry. Other than a couple of such disturbances, I highly recommend Cantinetta!
This is the Eye in the Sky!
