My First TOSH Experience

So it's probably surprising that I haven't eaten in this pasta-based restaurant until last month. More fondly called as TOSH, The Old Spaghetti House is something I have been seeing around and hearing good things about, but I plainly haven't had the opportunity to try out.

Luckily, my place is just a stone's throw away from Robinsons Pioneer so I decided to try it out. Right after stepping in, I instantly felt the restaurant's warmth. In fact, it's so cozy that it appeared too couple-ish for my taste.

So my best buddy and I ordered Trio 3 (P585.00), a best seller comprised of an appetizer sampler, spaghetti pesto with grilled chicken, and of course 5-cheese pizza (apparently, this is the only reason we ordered this menu). I also got myself a mango shake (P70.00) for refreshment.

Appetizer sampler

The appetizer sampler (fried calamares and breaded chicken tenders) was too dry for my liking. The dip's is just plain and simple ordinary. We hardly wanted to finish it but since I was raised and taught not to leave food on the plate, we somehow managed to get everything down in an hour's time. Grade: 4/10

Pesto

The pesto was alright. I could only complain on the amount of serving (I like it big all the time), but overall, it's good. Grade: 7/10

5-cheese pizza

But the winner of the set is the 5-cheese pizza! I'm such a cheese junkie so this one's just great! I think it has mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar and probably romano and provolone. It's not by any means ground-breaking but I enjoyed it a lot. Grade: 8/10

Thick mango shake

As for the mango shake, I guess it's fine, just a bit too thick, which gave me trouble sipping through the straw. Not too sweet, which I like.

Overall, my first TOSH experience was good. The place is comfortable, with good food and service. The Old Spaghetti House has several branches that operate across numerous cities in Metro Manila.

Looking forward to tasting everything TOSH has to offer!
