I only have one rule for my birthdays: For some weird reasons I need a cake and a spaghetti. Since I decided to hear the mass at Padre Pio in Libis, I made my cake-consuming ritual at one of my fave cheesecake restaurants in town, at Cheesecakes by Guy.

You have to wait ten minutes to enjoy this meal, as is the rule with any chocolate lava cake, so it will be served warm and gooey for your taste buds. It looks ordinary by way of presentation but wait till the lava flows and you’ll see capital E Eruption. Or explosions.
