Met a most satisfying plate of spaghetti bolognese in the least expected place. At (Laoag’s) Giannis bar (post-fire). It makes sense as the meat-and-tomato-sauce pasta is not-your-usual-kiddie spaghetti, but a grown-up al dente spaghetti in a thick and rich ragù sauce and a heap of parmesan cheese.

Giannis is known for booze, munchies, chillout music and a young and hip crowd. No worries, they welcome inglorious comfort eaters.

We don’t get tired of the cheese sticks and nachos dipped in Chef Jackie signature dips.

Giannis is located on McKinley St. (at the back of the Ilocos Norte Provincial Capitol).
