I have been to Linguini Fini for dinner twice and quite like the place. I had been thinking about bringing my family over, but was held back because they didn't accept reservation before. Now that they do, I had to bring them there.Linguini Fini extended to the ground floor where Cantopop was before, possibly due to the high demand at rush hour. The manager said they are still seeking a location for Cantopop. The reception also moved to the ground floor, so approach the receptionist on the groun
Linguini Fini extended to the ground floor where Cantopop was before, possibly due to the high demand at rush hour. The manager said they are still seeking a location for Cantopop. The reception also moved to the ground floor, so approach the receptionist on the ground floor for your table instead! (So you won't end up like me bringing my whole family into the lift and came back out since we did not have access to the floor. *blush)
Once the escalator doors opened, you will see a nice bar area with a long wooden table and red long coach. Further inside are lots of squared tables and sofa booths with comfortable spacing. There are also a semi-opened kitchen area where several dishes are placed. If you look around the dinning area, you will see lots of graphics painted on the walls, which are masterpieces by local artist Start From Zero. If you pay more attention while walking around in HK and Macau, you will probably see a lot of theirs designs too. I also like the banker lamp on the sofa booth area, which makes things more classy. There were also casual music playing at the background to accompany your food. All in all, the ambiance was pretty nice.
Service was as usual nice and friendly. The server brought us a menu of the day on a wooden chalk board, and we ordered cold cuts as my dad loves it alot. My server, an Asian who couldn't speak chinese, made my parents wonder if non-english speakers are welcomed to the restaurant. I would think its a good opportunity for him to at least try learning since he is working in Asia anyways?
LF Salumi PlatterLonza (Left) - Cured loin that was mildy salty and sweet. Quite nice!
bresaola (Right) - Glossy cured beef that was rubbery textured and not quite salty, most boring among the four.
Finocchiona (Far Back) - Cured loin that was spicy, salty and fatty but yum. The texture was rubbery if cmoared to Picante.
Picante (Front) - Glossy cured loin that has the same spiciness as Finocchiona but also less salty and fatty.
Picante Pizza $128 (7/10)The pizza was quite delicious. The crust was crispy at the rim but soft in the middle. The tomato taste was very strong and sweet, and paired well with the lightly tasted mozarella buffalo. The Picante was too little to give enough taste to the pizza though. Anyhow, I was quite nice.
Dried Shrimp Diavola Linguine $88 (10/10)Love this linguine to the max, its simply splendid. Of course the linguine was cooked al dente, but the most excellent part was the savoury tomato sauce. Imagine every mouth full was filled with a strong shrimp and tomato taste with mild spiciness and al dente linguine. How great was that!
LF Benedicts $98 (5/10)The dish was crazily orangy, I have never seen hollandaise sauce that organy before. The poached egg was nicely made with semi-solid whites and running orangy yolk. The egg tasted really lovely with sweet and creamy yolk, i wonder where they source them from. The 'Nduja replaced the traditional bacon but was not salty enough in my own opinion. The Hollandaise sauce tasted nice with slight spiciness, but was a bit too much. Not only had it overpowered the natural taste of the egg and 'Nduja, it also soften the muffin too. I was a bit disappointed.
FINAL COMMENTS...Lunching at Linguini Fini is a totally different dinning experience from dinning at night. It is more relaxing during the day, but more energetic at dinner hour which loud music is played. I think it would be better to bring family at lunch and friends at dinner hour, since most parents hate place that are loud and noisy?
