When I discovered Ravioli early last week, I knew I found my first feature-to-be for my new and yet to be created food blog – Nomnom Club. Similarly, Ravioli is new having just started mid of this year.
Ravioli
It prides itself in serving fresh pasta even with the fast-food serve set-up amidst Robinson’s Galleria foodcourt. And indeed, serving freshly made pasta matters in the taste and the resulting firmer texture (al dente).
This was particularly true for the Chorizo and Tomato Ravioli that I had. It was a chorizo-stuffed square-shaped ravioli in tomato sauce. It’s their best-seller and I knew why. 🙂
A bite on the first piece of ravioli reveals the juicy spanish chorizo and the subtly soft pasta. The tomato sauce was good as well.
At P130, it certainly was worth it.

A trivia about the Chorizo and Tomato Ravioli– the number of pieces is counted as standard for consistency in serving. 🙂 The non-ravioli pasta are weighed. This includes the spicy Shrimp Diablo (P95) and Bacon Carbonara (78) which I also was able to try.

Ravioli in the Making
One would also notice top of the line cooking equipments in their open kitchen. My friend said that this is so because one of the owners is actually a chef who would settle for no less than quality equipments.
Bacon Carbonara
With the minimal and humble space, they churn up the freshest of pastas around.
The order is served fast but their food is prepared fresh and only cooked as ordered.
The tasteful experience was just far from foodcourt standards.Surely, I’ll be back to try the other interesting menu items.
The Mushroom & Mozzarella Ravioli on the menu board looks good. 🙂

Lastly, good news for people from the south where Robinson’s Galleria is just too far, Ravioli is opening a bistro in SM Mall of Asia come December 2009!
They’re even expanding their menu to include Pizza de Pugon. Nomnomnom! 🙂
