Anyone for Pizza Milano?

If you are adventurous in fine dining, you shouldn't miss trying the menu at Italia Restaurant.  For 11 years now, they had been serving Bacolod with their original Italian recipes consisting of pizza, pasta and steak.

At Italia Restaurant, pizza is cooked at their wood fired oven.  After the dough was rolled flat, it was topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese................

and Salami Milano.

And now, it is ready to be cooked at their wood fired oven.

In five minutes, the Pizza Milano is ready to be served!  Best when eaten fresh from the oven.

Oh, I love the crisp in every bite!  And it crackles in my mouth, too.

And don't forget to cap it off with your favorite bottle of wine.

Check please!

Italia Restaurant is located at Ranol Bldg., San Agustin St. Bacolod City.  Beside Riverside Hospital.  For special occasions, you can also order Paella and Chicken Galantina from their kitchen.
Tel. No. 432-3704
Opens from 10:30am to 10:30pm

Happy Dining at Italia Restaurant!

Come ride with me!

Just a mere 20 miniutes away from Lopue's East Center, you will find this bullring and soon they will open a horseback riding school. This is midway between Barangay Granada and Alangilan, (past the polo field) and mind you, still part of Bacolod City!

When my friends and I saw these horses, we were all excited to mount on them.  Imagine, it will be my first horse ride ever!  It's never too late for anyone.

I was not even sure if I can lift my body to mount on that beautiful mare.  But those two guys found me a foot stool which would serve as my launching pad.   hahaha......

Phew!!!  There I am!  Chestnut was very tamed and patient with first-timers like me.  And of course the aid of these two wonderful guys who were keeping me calm by their comforting words of safety and security.

Such a wonderful experience.  At the first few steps, I could feel I was swaying.  But Artie was telling me to  hold on to the bridle.  But I feared I would annoy the horse if I would pull the wrong rein.  There was nothing I could hold on to except for the saddle.  

I loved the ride that I asked for one more round around the ring.  As we were nearing the end.  Another thought crossed into my head.  Will I be able to get down Chestnut by myself?  It would look funny if these guys would literally lift me off the horse.  But thank God, I was able to manage it.  Thank you, Chestnut!  And I will visit you again soon.
