Afriques Pizza and Pasta


When it comes to pizza and pasta, it must be Afriques. Pizza and pasta are home-made in this restaurant by no other than its owner. These must be something special. The restaurant has a homey ambience for diners. The place was once part of the owner’s house transformed into a dining area for the restaurant. Afriques is located at Seminario St., Jaro, Iloilo City, Philippines. The diner’s best sellers are Afriques’ Special pizza and Sicilian pasta.

Being a newbie to this new food haven, I ordered a regular plate of Afriques’ Special pizza and a serve of Sicilian pasta over a glass of iced-cold tea. Afriques’ Special pizza is delectable to your mouth with a grandiose blend of Spanish sausages, crispy bacon, freshly chopped tomatoes, parmesan cheese, black olives, onions, herbs, and a specially concocted Afriques pizza sauce. The pizza crust is freshly baked and gives a delightful bite. Not too crusty, not too soft. The taste is superb with the combination of all ingredients. It is sweet, a little bit spicy and creamy to your mouth. It gave me a moment of break to think of what makes this pizza that left a delightful flavor to my mouth. The special pizza sauce spelled the difference for its taste. I found out that the pizza sauce used is a concoction made by the owner himself.

The diner’s Sicilian Pasta is an exceptional sumptuous blend of finely cooked fettuccini serve with sausages and vegetables sautéed in olive oil and topped with rich tomato sauce. Parmesan cheese and sliced black olives complete the pasta serving for a mouthwatering meal. A quite unique combination of different taste that pasta lovers will agree with me.

They also have Oriental Supreme Pizza for a more healthy, kind of sweet, and simple pizza flavored with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, herbs and Afrique’s Oriental sauce with minced chicken to complete its distinctive flavor.

Prepare your hankies and wipe those sweats with Afriques’ Matador Pizza. It is a Spanish-inspired pizza topped with Spanish sardines, bell pepper, olives, red and green bell pepper, sausages, chillies, parmesan cheese and Afriques’ chili pizza sauce. A distinctly Spanish flavored pizza that will heat up your day and perfectly paired with an iced cold soda.

Afriques also serves other palatable food recipes like Ox tongue in creamy mushroom sauce, Tenderloin steak, Lamb chops, Korean beef steak, Burger steak and Chicken in a basket. All food servings are affordable with worth-your-money delight. Afriques has established its own unique and distinctive blend of flavors more delectable than fastfood pizza and pasta parlors.
These are the reasons why I kept on coming to their place to have a break from work and enjoy Afriques mouthwatering pizza, pasta and other home-made recipes.
