TAKING THE HASSLE OUT OF ENTERTAINING AT HOME
BRAVO! IS THE ANSWER
There are few things more satisfying than sitting down to a delightful meal with good friends, and not worrying about the hustle and bustle of the outside world—but anyone who has thrown a dinner party knows that there is a lot of hustling going on behind the scenes.
Your carefully constructed canapés are devoured in a fraction of a second, despite having taken you more than three hours to prepare from scratch. Your salad is left to wilt, even though you painstakingly emulsified the balsamic vinegar and the olive oil with nothing but a whisk and some elbow grease. Your main course is a certified hit—but after two servings you find that you’ve run out and your guests are still hankering for more! This year, why not take the hassle out of hosting and enjoy yourself with Bravo! dips, spreads, and sauces, lending an Italian flair to each and every occasion?
Bravo! Ristorante along Dela Costa Street in Salcedo Village, Makati has been serving authentic Italian dishes in the last 11 years. It’s patrons say that the crispy, thin crust of the pizzas that come out freshly baked from the kitchen is the best in this side of the world add to that organic salads, al dente pastas and mouth-watering risottos. According to Gia Suarez, co-owner and executive of Bravo! Ristorante Italiano, “Each bottled dip, spread, and sauce is a versatile addition to any kitchen, opening up a whole world of culinary possibilities to the discerning dinner-partygoer.”
Canapés like the Italian Flag, made with pesto, garlic cheese spread, and tomato garlic sauce, or Cucumber Rounds made with gourmet Salmon Mousse spread are sure to entrance guests without you breaking a sweat. Serve company Chicken Liver Pâté with a smattering of mango chutney or cranberry preserve for that extra continental flair. Make your salads scintillate with Italian Herb or Wasabi Mayo, sprinkle with a little smoked pancetta, and you’re good to go!
For the main course, get a little creative with pesto and roasted chicken, or lightly fry up a pork fillet with Puttanesca and mozzarella making a signature Italian dish entitled “saltimbocca” which means literally “jumps in your mouth”. If pasta is your pleasure, choose from their Arrabbiata, Puttanesca, Tuscan, Tuna Tuscan, Tomato Herb, or Bravo! Bestseller Tomato Garlic to excite the palette and keep your guests coming back for more! “Italian feasts have never been this easy! I don’t remember what my dinner parties were like before the Bravo! line came out!” enthused Suarez.
