I remember the days when Amici was still the cafeteria run by the Salesians of Don Bosco. My old high school had a lot of interactions with Don Bosco Mandaluyong and Makati, and we spent quite a bit of time eating ice cream at Amici back then. I didn’t realize that Amici went on a major expansion boom after they had been bought by the former owners of Red Ribbon, resulting in a drastic improvement on the menu and food quality.
After hearing Sunday mass, I went to Amici at Greenhills with the boyfriend and his family for his birthday dinner. Though I wasn’t able to take photos of our meal, I was able to document our dessert. I didn’t know that the gelato (that’s Italian for “ice cream”, you uncultured lout) served at Amici got rebranded into the gelateria Caramia, the dessert wing of the restaurant. I remember they only had around ten or so flavors back then. Today, the gelato at Caramia comes in 18 mouthwatering flavors: pistachio, sans rival, strawberry supreme, mango jubilee, straciatella (nutella), mint with chocolate, espresso, choco with nuts, blueberry supreme, nocciola, guianduia, mango classic, vanilla, ube, macapuno, pineapple, banana, and cioccolato.
