The Old Spaghetti House

Tosh is premium Italian inspired dishes restaurant combined with traditional family recipes that will surely show you that home is where spaghetti 🍝 is!
Its timelessness can be compared to the relationship of husband-and-wife team Lizzie and Chito Guerero, who owns and runs The Old Spaghetti House (TOSH)
The two have gone a long way from being next door partners, childhood sweethearts, a married couple and eventually, business partners with their background in the food business (she as assistant manager for Chateau 1771 in Malate, he as part of the family that owns Cravings Restaurant), the two decided to put up a small canteen.  Four Grilla outlets later, the Guerreros thought of expanding their business.
Finding space to rent in Katipunan, they decided on "top-of-mind" staples-comfort food that people have all the time.  Why not spaghetti? and why not bring it to a middle ground, thought Chito further.  "The funny thing is, when you think 'Spaghetti', it's either you go premium, which means an Italian restaurant where you spend a lot, or you go to fast food chains".
They wanted a middle ground, where diners can enjoy the same food quality as high-end restaurants.
  A TOSH of Home The Old Spaghetti House banks on family recipes to become a household word without the expensive tab. "The venture eventually became a family affair, with hand-me-down traditional family recipes finding their way into the menu.  This is a cooking family, after all, Chito's mom Annie Pascual-Guerrero being the founder of the Cravings Group of Restaurants and the Center for Culinary Arts.  Lizzie's side of the family made its contributions as well.
It is not by chance that the motto of The Old Spaghetti House is "Treasure Waiting to be Discovered."  Since, not only does the atmorsphere capture treasures from the past, but the menu too is a treasure chest waiting to be discovered. 
The menu of "The Old Spaghetti House" was developed by Lizzie Guerrero, who studied culinary arts in the Center for Culinary Arts, Manila.  The recipes that she uses have been passed-on to The Old Spaghetti House from friends and relatives.

We ordered the Seafood Marinara,Tuna Carbonara and Four Cheese pizza, all of it where all good and excellent. The pizza is amazing, the pasta was superb. Thank you.

This is my go-to place whenever I'm with my mom. The ambiance is really relaxing and you can have long conversations here. It has the homey vibes and food is really comforting. We had the following:

-> My personal favorite in their tomato-based pastas is the 'Seafood Marinara'. It's too perfect to eat during this rainy season. The marinara sauce is flavorful while the pasta is cooked perfectly. There are clams, shrimps, bites of squid and mussels. The only downside I saw is that the mussels and clams are not of best quality. Overall, I still loved the dish.

-> My mom tried the 'Gambasseti' which is identical to the marinara but it's more tangy. There are three pieces of shrimps and some veggies on top. It's flavorful and not nakakaumay.

-> Our all time favorite and never failing 'Four Cheese Pizza' is consistent. The thin crispy crust topped with the light-tasting cheese is always the perfect match for any pasta we order.

-> It's our first time to try their 'House blend Iced tea pitcher'. It tastes good but I think it's not house blend. The taste of lemon is there and it's not too sweet.

I need to run errands after mass and had a quick lunch with mum. I love their specialty pastas. Mum had the Aglio Olio and I had the Sardines in Olive oil with capers and olives. Simple and yummy! We shared a salad with grilled chicken, Apple slices, and almonds. Service was fast for a busy Sunday afternoon.

Tried TOSH'es Vietnamese garlic spag with hungarian sausage and bread (instead of rice) today and it was good. It's a full meal with just the right amount of serving. For Php150 plus service charge, it's a decent meal already. I liked the pasta (who wouldnt when it's sauteed in butter) 🤣 the serving is just enough for its sweetsalty taste. I didnt become a fan of the sausage though, tastes like your average sausage, plus it's a little gritty. What i liked most about the place however is it's ambiance. It's a decent serene place with rustic furniture that contrasts SM's bustles. 👍🏼
