If there's an Italian restaurant I'd travel far to, it should be the hard-to-pronounce-hard-to-remember Friuli Trattoria in Maginhawa, QC. Though it's quite a sweat summoning up its name, what I cannot forget is its authentic taste at an awesome price!

I cry as we don't have something similar in the South (or prolly I'm not privy to it). Anyhow, I enjoyed as much as I can, with good friends to boot, at this side of Maginhawa.
The place is very simple. No frills. But don't underestimate their menu. They only have a single published size for the pizza, and got to choose two (2) flavors:
- Viva Venezia at Php 220, their bestseller with lean ground beef, olives, mushrooms, green bell peppers and onions.
- All Meat at Php 250, with lean ground beef, ham, pepperoni and Italian sausage.

Both were good! But I enjoyed Viva Venezia more. Also ordered Spaghetti with Tuna and Mushroom at Php 120. At this price, it's already a plateful! Their spaghetti had water on the pasta when they served it, but surprisingly it was still good. I don't know if that's how it's really served. Nevertheless, it did not disappoint.

Can't wait for them to branch out :P But before they do, here's part of their menu:
