I'm a huge fan of soft shell crab, which is why we went with this dish, but I highly recommend ordering one of the taco-maki's when you're here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1482918458908-09GLKZR7K05BRJNRMLZZ/IMG_2125.jpg Blog - Japanese Food: Ooma, Manila Ph - Gyoza I usually opt-out of ordering gyoza's whenever I come to a Japanese restaurant because I'd much rather eat the rolls, but I loved this one. They had cheese and a bit of a spicy kick, which was a really nice surprise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1482918455814-3V7UJ9906DLSD40NMC6P/IMG_2115.jpg Blog - Japanese Food: Ooma, Manila Ph - Salmon Tataki If you're a fan of salmon as much as I am, then this order is a must! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1482918469664-0U203FMNINXY9XO9ZTM2/IMG_2113.jpg Blog - Japanese Food: Ooma, Manila Ph - Salmon Tartare Aburi Maki Like I said, I'm a huge Salmon fan, so of course I'm incredibly biased and will say this was amazing. https://www.juliasykim.com/my-life/2017/1/12/sy2hhk3aaw71akdhrnimycd5pm4v0m monthly 0.5 2017-01-13 https://www.juliasykim.com/my-life/2017/1/12/italian-food-vera-pizza-pasta-napoli-seoul-korea monthly 0.5 2018-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1484267452216-CJ1N3ZOJM78NBBIJ70L7/IMG_2418.jpg Blog - Italian Food: Vera Pizza & Pasta Napoli, Seoul Korea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1484267449915-D3MWL5ETGZL7EVH9B4IP/IMG_2413.jpg Blog - Italian Food: Vera Pizza & Pasta Napoli, Seoul Korea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1484267478807-VQD2L7UTHVXX0V3GATIU/IMG_2401.jpg Blog - Italian Food: Vera Pizza & Pasta Napoli, Seoul Korea - Risotto I liked the clams in this dish and thought overall this was a little too sweet for me, but I know Korean food tends to lean more on the sweet side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1484267461790-7GWKFZT8CYDD05L7U05U/IMG_2407.jpg Blog - Italian Food: Vera Pizza & Pasta Napoli, Seoul Korea - Margherita pizza I liked how thin this crust was, which works well with the thick cheese. The dough is soft, so don't expect a 'crunch' when you take a bite into the crust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1484267477556-RE8T9HHXFOR6HOTI2JE2/IMG_2404.jpg Blog - Italian Food: Vera Pizza & Pasta Napoli, Seoul Korea - Mushroom creamy pasta I felt like the mushroom taste was just perfect enough with the creamy white sauce before it would've started to feel too rich. Fun fact: they had peas in the pasta, which I thought was an interesting addition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1484267467687-TQEBHD5RFOYR6VT25XTQ/IMG_2410.jpg Blog - Italian Food: Vera Pizza & Pasta Napoli, Seoul Korea - Lasagna I always tell myself I'll order this dish the next time I come here but always get distracted by the creamy white pastas.

I really wanted their beef plancha (the dish I had last time I was here), but since they didn’t hold this dish on their menu anymore, I went with the closest dish our server recommended. This dish wasn’t as great as the beef plancha, but the meat was still extremely tender and would also melt in your mouth. I felt like they could have gone easier on the salt, but otherwise 10/10! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1531662311870-1LNIKULU1EZHTR479ZKF/IMG_9221.jpg Blog - Antonio's, Tagaytay PH - Dessert!

My friend loved this dish, but for some reason, I could taste lamb in the meatball (I’m guessing it was because of the mix of herbs), and lamb is one dish I really can’t handle (I had a terrible experience once that ruined me forever). I personally didn’t like this dish but the friend who did ordered it said nothing but great things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5322517ee4b056c9446c259e/1532217166070-WWWVXAGYVGQNMEOPVCR1/IMG_9783.jpg Blog - Amoos - Persian Restaurant in VA - Saffron Rice Always a must.
