#NCDfoodtrip 2025: New Menu of Grissini Ristorante that even we locals should try!

#NCDFoodtrip There are times when we Bicolanos treat laing or Bicol Express very ordinarily and we don’t order them anymore when dining out. Guilty? But here comes 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗶 Ristorante offering a fusion of Bicol and Italy cuisine in their menu. This time, for us locals, MAKE SURE you order these from Grissini because they are extraordinarily crafted.

While Naga being a Pilgrim City and a food destination,  we can definitely boasts Bicolano Chefs like that of Grissini for coming up with these fusion. So pwedeng pwede nindo sinda darahon digdi.

My Personal faves: 

❣ Pili Rigatoni - the crunchy topping was what really amazed me, I had to ask what it was made of to the extend na akala ko orange peel hahaha kasi tangy siya and bagay na maray. It was different, but it was different gooood! Assignment ko na po saindo to ask them what is it made of. Genius!

Pili Rigatoni

❣Pili & Caramelized Onion Pizza

I never imagine that I will love the onion on this pizza. Caramelized onion and to the point that it matches again with the roasted Pili nuts tapos iibahan mo pa kang si honey chili syrup. 

Pili & Caramelized Onion

❣Laing Ravioli was perfect! Im not exagerrating here, only that I was happy for laing to be given another kind of twist and sakto lang siya na dai ka mauumay. 

Laing Ravioli

✓Bicol Express Pasta - go for this if fave mo ang Bicol Express

✓Laing Pili Pizza - was also good. What made it exciting was of course the chilly olive oil. 

Tell me which one’s your fave 

Don't forget your Fresh Juice Drinks and yummy desserts!

We seldom shop for shoes, but when we do we make sure that it would last longer given the right usage and care. Our family would often resort to promos or items that are on sale because it's more practical. One of those shoes is Native, a pair with the official name of "Jefferson" which we bought at Res|Toe|Run Naga back in 2010. Fast forward to 2023, the pair had battle scars from travels used in various weather conditions. For a 13 year-old shoe that's still whole and wearable, the discoloration is the only thing that made it old. That says a lot about quality!

Granjeros Central, your source of all natural and organic products

Granjero, a Spanish word meaning farm or small farmer. Granjeros Central will be Naga's new hub for all natural and organic products from meat and poultry, veggies, etc sourced from small and local farmers in and out of the city. They are located at the Cereza, Magsaysay Avenue, #NagaCity. They also have an in-house restaurant where all the ingredients used in their food are organic too. 

Let me get ahead of you, this isn’t a sponsored post. First, I normally feature products and services if I have my first-hand experience with them and secondly if I love / like what they are offering.

I got hit by flu last week and is still under medication as of writing. Finally, I got the time to write a little because of the transport strike and I got reminded of these products from Granjeros Central that we got especially the honey from Orange Country Enterprise and the Kalamansi Concentrate for my cough and colds. Reality ONE, sometimes, when we get sick only then that we get to be reminded to eat healthy.

Don’t get intimidated by the packaging of these products, yes it has the impression of being pricey, but once you get to check their products one by one, you may actually say that the pricing is reasonable. That’s for me ha. Still depends on you.

Reality TWO, it’s when you get to age a ‘lil bit, that’s also the time you get to be reminded to eat healthy too. When you start to drown yourself in work for almost 6 days a week, sometimes you will realize to take it slow because you are now actually working for work, instead let work, work for you. 

Shifted to the Kalamansi Concentrate for two straight days, 3 times a day and I got my taste-buds back that soon. I’m caffeine free for a week now and I’m sleeping early than the usual. I’m planning to cut down my coffee intake little by little. Wish me luck lol

The red rice is something that we still have to get used to, gosh we love the white one of course! Haha The dried seafood, “Bolinao” is not the boring daing because it’s crunchy and still has that homey and simple feeling of eating dried fish, yep reduced saltiness, gentle on your kidneys. Loved the Smoked Longanisa too!

Reality THREE, who says healthy foods are boring? It’s just the proper mindset that we need. Granjero’s Central is located at Cereza, Magsaysay Avenue offering all organic and natural products. Check it out!

 Purchasing these products will mean that you are also supporting our local farmers' produce.
