For the followers of Aria cucina italiana in Boracay, no need to save up
for your Boracay airfare because there is a new Branch here in Manila,
specifically at the East Superblock, 30th St. corner 7th St.., Bonifacio
High Street Central Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
The feel inside Aria Manila was Contemporary Modern with textured walls
that reminded me of Boracay's soft and white sand. Look at the abstract
paintings, they are so nice. Similar to Picasso's pieces. =)
Aria won't be complete without their huge collection of wines and hard drinks. A perfect match for the food they were serving.
Insalata di
cocomero, rucola e pinoli (480) - Organic arugula with fresh watermelon,
feta cheese and pine nuts in a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
The combination was great though the arugula was too much for me.
Insalata tartufata con parma ham (480) - a salad of frilled eggplant,
lettuce, tomatoes, parma ham and smoked scamorza cheese tossed in a
truffle dressing.
Gran misto aria (435) - A vegetarian mix of tomatoes and mozzarella
cheese, grilled bell pepper salad, eggplant mach and deep fried zuccini,
served with focaccia bread.
It is a good way to start your meal. The flavors in this dish will
surely tickle your taste-buds.The eggplant mash is definitely a must
try!
Pasta Marinara (450) - Seafood pasta with a choice of tomato or olive oil-based sauce.
The noodles were perfectly made. You wont miss the seafood taste with the shrimp, squid and shells.
I love Aria because of their pizza. They are one of the best when it
comes to making thin crust pizza. The Rucola e pinollo is one of my
favorites here.
Risotto con porcini, mantecato al mascarpone (620) Risotto with porcini
mushrooms whipped with mascarpone and aged parmesan cheese for double
portion add: P465
Honestly, I am not a Risotto fan so I didn't enjoy this meal that much. It tasted like rice with gravy =)

Salmone al pepe verde (650) - fresh salmon fillet served with a creamy green pepper sauce.
The Salmon fillet was cooked the way it should be. Fresh, juicy and the salmon taste was really there. The sauce was a great compliment to the meal.

This mousse alone can be a reason for me to go back again and again to Aria. The mixture was perfect! Not too sweet on the chocolate and cream, and Extra sweetness from the crumbles of hazelnuts on top.
