Last Saturday, after clinic hours, my mom wanted to have lunch at a new restaurant in Robinson's Place Manila, at House of Lasagna. From the name itself, I thought that it would be another Italian restaurant offering only the typical lasagna. However, the variety and uniqueness of the food the restaurant serves are just some of the qualities why it was worth every peso.

What made me more excited was that House of Lasagna is owned by a Filipino and was only Italian inspired. Some of the items in the menu were the family recipes of Chef Erick Congmon. Here is a brief history of the restaurant as seen at the back of their menu:

The Ambiance 5/5
The restaurant was located at the third floor of Robinson's Place Manila. When my mom told me to meet her there, I was not expecting a very good feel since most restaurants at the third floor near the Food Court did not have a good ambiance and I expected a lot of noise coming from the usual crowd there. However, I was surprised by how homey the feeling of just having a glimpse of the restaurant. It truly was designed to fit its name. The restaurant was able to mask the usual sounds of the third floor.

The Food 4.5/5
Of course, we were there for the lasagna. It was just surprising that the restaurant had variety of choices for the lasagna flavors. Here is the copy of their menu.

And this is what we ordered:
 |
| Three Cheese Lasagna 5/5 Php 280 2-3 pax |
 |
| Southern Fried Chicken 4/5 Php 220 1-2 pax |
Unlike the typical beef lasagna, the three cheese lasagna had a mix of Mozzarella, Cheddar and Bleu Cheese. It was the first time I tasted this kind of Lasagna. For every bite I had, I could really savor the taste and the aroma of the cheese in the lasagna. The Southern fried chicken for me was not as remarkable compared to the lasagna, however, I commend its presentation, as well as the presence of the side dishes, which made it more delicious. I still hope that someday, this would come with a gravy sauce.
When we dined, we were informed by our servers that the restaurant just opened three days prior and they had a promo of unlimited iced tea, which had me quite excited since I was dried up and had not taken enough water or drink during my clinic time. This promo, was only up to a month from its opening day. After which, bottomless iced teas are not anymore included even in their menu.

When we were waiting for our orders, the servers placed a basket of toasted bread on our table and were surprised and informed them that we had no such order. They informed us that this was part of their service, another refillable food laid down to us. This was not anymore part of their opening promo, but was regularly done even in other branches.

If anybody would want to try it with their loved ones at home, there are no worries since the lasagna are placed in these neat and clean boxes.

The Service 5/5
Two thumbs up for the great service given to us by the House of Lasagna, especially by Ms. Riz. From the time mom entered the restaurant, she told me that she was immediately given the complimentary refillable glass of iced tea by Riz. She even helped us in choosing the lasagna best for our taste buds. The food was served right on time. But what I actually liked best about her was when my mom wanted to take home extra toasted bread and she had no apprehensions in giving this to us.
The Budget 4/5
Approximately Php 250 per person.
Will definitely come back to Lasagna's home!
Verdict 4.6/5
Life is a choice, choose to be benign! :)
