Trattoria Doppio Zero was recommended to godbro XO by one of his clients, who praised one of its pasta dishes. Knowing that I love pasta, XO asked me to check out the restaurant with him last Monday. I was a bit excited when XO asked me to join him since I've read quite a few reviews on OpenRice praising the pasta dishes at Trattoria Doppio Zero, and how they use the finest Italian flour to make their pasta!Trattoria Doppio Zero is located on the basement level of an office buidling in Sheung

Trattoria Doppio Zero is located on the basement level of an office buidling in Sheung Wan, and once you walk in, you can see that they have a proper bar area in the front of the restaurant. If you have to wait for a table at the restaurant, you can take a seat in the bar area and have a drink while you're waiting!
The walls of the restaurant have been decorated with colorful paintings.
The restaurant is very spacious, and the tables are not crammed close to each other.
There are a few tables in the back of the restaurant for those who wish to have more privacy.
There's a wine storage area in the back of the restaurant, but I couldn't tell if the temperature and humidity are regulated.
There's a promotion at the restaurant for their new summer drinks, and if you upload a picture of your drink on to Facebook, you can buy one get one free. XO and I both took advantage of the promotion and each ordered a summer cocktail!

As soon as the bread was placed on our table, the beautiful aroma of the bread caught our noses! The bread tasted as good as it smelled, and a quick dip in the olive oil was all it needed!
We decided to start with the signature small bites.

The filling would have been very heavy, but the pickled beetroot foam has a light acidity to balance out the heaviness of the filling.

The highlight of the dish though was the Carabineros red prawn! The server told us that the chef cooks the prawn until it's slightly raw in the middle, which gives it a perfect crunchy texture! This already spooked my interest since chefs always overcook prawns and lobsters in Hong Kong, and this prawn was cooked just the way I like it! I absolutely loved the crunchy texture of the red prawn!
Since XO and I only ordered half portions of the pasta dishes, we decided to split the Pan Roasted Iberico Pork.

Not only was the Iberico pork chop delicious, the cannellini beans on the side were just as tasty! They had a silky creamy texture and were seasoned beautifully with the garlic aioli!
A delicious Italian dinner isn't complete without dessert! While XO went for his favorite affogato, I went with a favorite of mine, the tiramisu!

This tiramisu is a fusion of the classic and the new! They follow a classic recipe for the tiramisu and top it with chocolate popping candies!
Tiramisu: The chocolate popping candies tickled my mouth! The tiramisu itself had a light airy texture from the whipped egg whites! It wasn't heavy at all, since this is a classic recipe where the tiramisu isn't weighed down with any cream! The spongy lady fingers layer on the bottom was moist but not soggy and didn't have an overwhelming alcohol flavor!
This tiramisu was the perfect "lift me up" (yes, this is a pun on the actual definition of tiramisu ) after the scrumptious meal!
Trattoria Doppio Zero definitely lives up to its name serving delicious pastas dishes! They serve dishes that have a good balance of authenticity and innovation! I can't wait to return to Trattoria Doppio Zero to try more of their innovations in the future!
