   For me, the two major considerations in making the choice of restaurants to frequent is the flavor of food and the safety of food.

   Bellissimo Ristorante pizza have crusts that are pugon-baked and that is the rationale why they are al dente (good chewy texture, but still crisp). The Sicily pizza of Bellissimo is my personal favorite. It is a superior pizza with plum tomatoes imported from Italy. The calorie value of Bellissimo Sicily pizza is only around 563 per serving. You can ask the chef to “smolder” the pizza a little bit , to attain the slight char and smoky flavor (as there are burning tannins in wood-fired oven). If you wish to know the molecular mechanism in the difference between pugon-baked pizza and electricity driven oven-baked pizza, try this simple experiment: with the use of an infrared thermometer, measure the temperature inside the pugon oven and compare it with the reading from an electric oven. The temperature of the pugon oven coagulates the proteins in the surface more rapidly, therefore retaining the moisture in the crust and in the cheese.

   When it comes to pasta, the Aglio Olio is my first choice. The Bellissimo Aglio Olio has less sugar, less lipids, some salt/sodium in moderate amount and has thiamine and iodine (based on a proximate analysis of a taken-out sample last July 2009). A serving Bellissimo Aglio Olio is only between 110-160 calories depending on the amount of parmesan cheese you put; this is equivalent to only 1 two-stick Kit-Kat chocolate bar.

   In terms of microbiological safety of food and drinks from Bellissimo, I myself have analyzed the coliform count of the pizza and the iced tea by means of a methyl umbelliferyl galactoside reaction. Pizza, pasta and iced tea from Bellissimo are free from harmful E coli. X-ray Fluorescence Analysis of the iced tea proved that the iced tea contains beneficial minerals and does not contain unsafe elements. Liquid scintillation counting of the iced tea components revealed no synthetic or non-plant-derived ingredients.

   There are paintings of Cesar Montano in the walls in the second floor. These artworks are for sale and are varied regularly every month. The proceeds for the paintings percolate to a noble cause— the main beneficiary is the Panaghoy foundation , a foundation committed to provide outreach programs to public schools and healthcare services/facilities, and medical and dental missions in Bohol. In short, you dine and at the same time, gain acquaintance of art , and as well , able to contribute to a openhanded institution.

   Raymond! You should have a food blog, analyze the content so that people like me who are forever on a diet (haha!) know what we are putting in our tummies and how bad or how good these food are for us. Galing!

   Thanks for the comment, this has been a long time entry na.

   Re the painting, I was a bit apprehensive about having these hanging there because they use pugon. I was thinking the heat (though of course the place is airconditioned) could affect the paint used and these would have an effect in the air quality inside.
