Bonifacio Day food tipid trip! Taking advantage of the holiday Jai invited me to eat lunch at Café Lidia. Although it was far from our place, we were drawn to it by good reviews from different blog sites.
We arrived past 1:00 pm and were surprised to see the restaurant almost full. We didn’t make any reservations but luckily we got a table. Jai insisted that I choose whatever pizza I wan, I was supposed to order the Margherita (tomato and basil pizza) but Jai already tried it before with his friends so to be fair I wanted Jai to try another flavor.
I ordered the Trio Formaggi (three cheese pizza), plus their famous buffalo wings for P160.00 (around 5-6pcs.)
We were very happy our pizza, 12 inches for P215.00 and it did not disappoint! Being a cheese lover I added extra parmesan cheese on top. The thin crust with a generous amount of three kinds of cheeses deserves a two thumbs up! It made our lunch date extra yummy and cheesier! I told Jai that it’s similar to Pizza Hut’s Ultimate Cheese Pizza but Jai disagreed, he liked Ultimate Cheese better (a little biased here: Ultimate Cheese is his ultimate favorite). Well I guess you can’t completely compare the two because Ultimate Cheese obviously has more kinds of cheeses and has a thicker crust.
Another pleaser was the Buffalo wings, it was flavorful and cooked just right, you can taste the crispiness of the chicken covered with a sweet marinade with a slight hint of chili. We were kind of expecting it to be spicier like the common Buffalo wings in other restaurants but nevertheless it was worth the try but our number 1 choice for Buffalo wings is STILL Don Henricos :D

| proof that we were really FULL! |
I recommend this restaurant for those who love Italian food but wouldn’t want to spend over P500.00. Food menu items are reasonably priced and doesn't comprise the quality of food. Waiters and Waitresses are very accommodating and it would be nice to give them a tip. (P.S. No service charge)
