Spaghetti Ai Tesori del Mare

@ mirandablue

My sister and I were supposed to watch a movie but the movie we wanted to see wasn't at the theaters anymore.  We ended up in Amici for dinner.  We shared a pizza [that I don't have a photo of] and a pasta dish, and she got a gelato shake (she needs the calories,  I don't!).  Spaghetti Ai Tesori del Mare is my usual order at Amici---it's olive oil-based, mildly spiced with chili oil, and has a mixture of shellfishes that I like, scallops, clams, mussels and prawns.  Delizioso!

Risotto Di Mare

A scrumptious plate of sauteed mixed seafood on saffron risotto, a house favorite at Amici.  This was one of our orders when Gem, a friend and former office mate, treated us to dinner when she was in town last month.  Amici serves home-cooked Italian food cafeteria-style---it means, you go to the cashier, choose your food and pay for it.  Just be patient when the person ahead of you takes her/his sweet time choosing from the menu of pasta, pizza and panini.  The original Amici is the school cafeteria of Don Bosco-Makati, started by an entrepreneurial Italian Salesian priest and run by nuns.  I enjoyed the home-made Italian sausage antipasti, the freshly-made pizza, olive oil-based pasta, and this seafood risotto.  Oh, and they have a gelato counter---my pistachio ice cream was delicious!
