Only Goodfellas has been known to be a hub for Yuppies, ever since their opening last, May 2013. But don’t let the classic with a side of retro interiors fool you into thinking it’s a pricey place to chill. Once you step inside the resto, owned and managed by Vincent and Janet Zammit, you already left the Philippines, it’s as if the door is a portal to Europe.
The resto specializes in authentic Italian cuisine, with recipes that have been passed from the Sicilian Zammit family for generations. Only Goodfellas is dedicated to give the real traditional home made Italian taste, without compromising the ingredients, ingredients that are by the way from all over Europe. Plus the quantity of the meals are large and their prices are not too high, you could have yourself a reasonably priced meal within a Php140.
One of the edge Goodfellas has over their competitions, besides their imported ingredients, is the fact that they cook their meals in real time, right after they’re ordered. Goodfellas is famous for their pasta meals like my personal favorite the Spaghetti Di Avola which is a mouth watering deep fried pasta that’s crispy on the outside but remains soft on the inside, their Ravioli, Bolognese and Tortellini pastas are some of their best sellers, and meals like their Peppered Beef Fillet, Panini’s’ and their famous Swiss, French, German and smoked sausage meals, make their clients coming back for more.
Its no wonder why tourists from the Philippines and from all over the globe, especially those tourists that check-in the neighboring Microtel, have a huge appreciation for the place, not just because of the ambiance and taste, but also the quality service their crew give.
Goodfellas also has a wide collection wines that the owners collected from all over Europe, D’Avola Sicilia & Cabernet and Sauvignon being the couples favorites. They also have a number of classic cocktails, made from top quality liquors,with their own European twists, twists that can only be defined after you try one. If you ask me, their cocktails are rich in flavor but after you have one you’ll feel the effect of the alcohol without the strong alcohol taste.
If you’re looking for a place to dine that serves good food, provides good service, on a good location, or chill and hangout with good company, Only Goodfellas is where you have to go.
Located at Valley High, Microtel Arcade, National Highway, General Santos City
