Ciao Chow - Italian Cafeteria (Closed)

疫情終於好轉酒吧禁令解除，難得早收工，所以約咗d舊同學去中環happy hour聚下舊。行到蘭桂坊，見呢間酒吧某d啤酒有買一送一，所以就入咗去。職員安排左我哋坐outdoor ，一開始叫左兩杯Asahi。 不過天氣太熱，坐左冇幾耐杯啤酒就熱晒。本身突然間想食nachos，可惜呢度冇，侍應就推介左Arancini，外面係炸rice ball，入面口感類似risotto，濃濃既野菌芝士味，上面有一片薄薄既黑松露，外脆內軟好好味。

今日約左個朋友去食飯， 太耐冇見有傾唔完既話題。 佢想再食Caio chow pizza, 所以重遊舊地， 而就第1次食。我地叫左1個appetizer 2個main courses 同留肚食lee到 signature 甜品。因為太餓， 唔記得影個炸墨魚圈，配上少少似蕃茄醬既sauce。個墨魚圈偏咸，個墨魚係軟冧，如果少d鹽就更唔錯。叫左個芝士蕃茄pizza， 係手工即整， 我地每人3塊， 真係要襯熱食， 第1塊係比第2塊好食，第2塊係比第3塊好食。 個pizza 第1啖係外脆內軟， 但當凍左會感覺芝士so味同變韌第2個main course 係蜆意粉有d辣但好味。蜆冇沙但唔算有鮮味，個意粉係煙韌但d味入唔到個意粉到。最後tiramisu係最驚喜， 個餅索晒濃郁咖啡味， 中間芝士醬唔膩同topping coco粉係中和返個甜味。

呢間位於蘭桂坊嘅Ciao Chow，餐廳環境比想像中大，有開放式廚房，可以見到師傅即場製作食物。​​牛肉他他同Risotto味道一般，反而比較期待另一道青醬手工意粉，意粉的確好濃pesto味道，手工意粉細細條好特別亦好有咬口，不過整體味道就比較淡，有啲失色，最值得推介嘅係呢度嘅Pizza，師傅即場用石窰焗製，新鮮出爐香味撲鼻，餅底有啲煙韌好好食！Pizza份量都唔少，三五知己嚟食絕對係一個好選擇！

朋友推介這間, 點了意大利薄餅, 莫札瑞拉起司, 味道都不錯, 兩人輕食一流, 店中也有電視可以看球賽, 餐廳也人多, 坐較外面的位置頗有氣氛一間很開揚的意大利餐廳，叫人路過時總常入內看看，並享用食物。這次來，第一次吃到Gnocchetti，一種主要以薯仔製成的意大利傳統食品，外型有點像蟲卵，但味道卻不錯，淡淡地會吃到薯仔的味道。很特別。雖然菜式唔係話好特別 都係普普通通的意大利菜 但每款都好好食 牛油炒菇菇配鬆軟麵包 正😌 Pizza都夠香脆 夠味道

Happy Valentine’s Day❤️ 不知道大家怎樣跟另一半度過這一天呢？今年情人節受到#武漢肺炎 的影響，節日氣氛減少，餐廳也各出奇謀吸引客人光顧🤩 最近上網發現了一家既chill，價錢又合理的意大利餐廳#ciaochow ，情人節期間點的pizza還可以要求店員弄成心形，#打卡 放閃一流❤️ Italian Butcher🍖($219)就是意大利屠夫的意思🙊將意大利最有名的Parma ham加上香甜的San Marzano番茄、Mozzarella cheese、莎樂美腸和辣醬，配搭經典而且香辣十足🌶️批底偏薄，批邊香脆，不會吃膩👍🏻 Risotto🥗($198)全店唯一一款意大利飯，青綠色的超特別💚青豆打成的醬汁，加上芝士和黑松露薄片，味道異常的搭～義大利飯煮得剛剛好，口感煙韌👍🏻

Pizza迷要注意，一定要試佢哋個margarita ，我哋叫咗個extra margarita ，多咗蒜頭，另外加少少錢可以加toppings，我哋加咗烤雞肉，出奇地個烤雞肉係唔乾，同出邊食嘅好唔同佢係好新鮮。另外從來未試過一個Pizza可以咁多汁，呢一樣野喺必勝客一定食唔到，薄餅嘅皮係好薄，正宗意大利式，所以可以摺埋嚟食，咁樣食法仲好味。前菜點左 mozzarella cheese and tomato, 同埋他他牛肉, 他他牛肉比較特別，有少少鹹，不過好彩佢有多士墊住所以又中和返。意粉點咗一啲都唔普通嘅普通carbonara, 因為真係食到好濃烈嘅蛋汁味，煙肉整得好脆好好食，但份量剛夠兩人食。甜品一定一定要食意大利芝士餅，淨係睇相你會明點解。

I booked a table here from Openrice. We arrived there on time and they made us wait for 10 min, standing in the middle of the busy street. After we have sat down, it's a challenge getting the waiter's attention and they all seemed worn out by work.The food took so long that someone ordered after us actually got their food earlier than us. We had a tight schedule so we figured we should order the lunch set drinks earlier but they missed placing the order to the kitchen. We had to re-order them ag

環境係十分好嘅 但係dish嘅proportion真係嚇親我risotto同carbonara鋪喺碟上面 完全係薄過我塊面皮 打個噴嚏就fly走雖然我愛rigatoni但係no no啊 啲italian sausages已經好salty 個sauce係好creamy 但鹹上加鹹哦平時唔好risotto嘅我 因為唔識欣賞al dante 所以好少食 but呢個好啊 冇生飯嘅感覺 亦唔boring 食泥食去都係truffle sauce, mushroom sauce, tomato sauce戈啲而係peas!!!!!!! 超like mashed peas! 咁嘅 combination 又幾開心wor!pizza也是正路的啦 stonebake冇得輸味道：6.5/10Ciao ChowRisotto $198Margherita $129Rigatoni Carbonara $135📍Central

We have always wants to try this restaurant, so we decided to have a birthday lunch here! The restaurant is very nice and cozy, big open plan space where you can see the kitchen at work. The weekend lunch buffet was $298/head and kids under 10 eat free! So it was great for us with two kids! There are two types of pizzas you can order, margherita and blue cheese! The buffet also included roast beef and pork belly, meat balls, pastas and lasagnas! And also a salad corner. Will go back for again!

生日黎呢度慶祝環境舒服，傾計聚會唔錯~呢度係意大利菜為主，而且仲主打PIZZA~全部PIZZA都係即叫即整，必食!環境加上食物，呢度都係聚會傾計之選~Pizza 食左兩款口味....呢個係BBQ Chicken，新鮮夠曬熱，好味。BBQ醬味味濃，加上雞肉有口感~好正另一個係Margheritaz，最初睇網上介紹以為係心型，點知上台原來唔係~~搞到有點失望，希望可以整返心型haha芝士味超濃郁，鐘意食芝士的話，必食呢個，真係好好味，雖然濃味但唔會覺得好滯~Risotto....食落唔同平時的，飯粒好特別的口感，有點似"意米"~~但好味，而且口感好細膩。Fregola Con Frutti Di Mare，蕃茄味超爆濃，加上青口，食落係鮮甜加上酸酸地咁，好惹味。特別推介甜品：tiramisu，真係好味到暈，淡淡甜味，口感醇厚，少少酒味，甜品控必食!而且可以要求寫上生日字.....慶祝生日呢度唔錯啊!仲有呢個朱古力，唔記得左個名，不過真係好好味~朱古力迷必食!佢係偏甜嘅，當然甜品控會覺得朱古力味夠曬濃，但唔好甜的話，就小心~

今日放工，約左朋友食飯，星期五晚所以都預訂左位.7點左右到達，都見到唔少外國人巳經系門口嘅座位上暢飲傾計.坐左系入面啲嘅位置，面對住個開放式廚房，欣賞到一眾廚師系到煮野食嘅畫面，而左邊就系兩個大螢幕，播放緊live嘅欖球比賽，畫質聲音都唔錯我地一共叫左一個沙律，兩個主食，一杯野飲. 味道唔錯，沙律系有牛油果，健康食品，個沙津醬系蛋黄醬，配合埋啲大蝦，令到個口感豐富左.而杯椰子味咖啡，口感細滑而且唔甜，岩哂唔鍾意加糖嘅人呀，而個羅勒醬意粉口感就有驚喜，因為青醬平時較少食，因為唔系間間都好食但系個意粉口感就相當唔錯，唔會太硬亦都唔會太軟，有啲咬口，配埋個羅勒醬，整體相當好而個黑松露芝士露荀意大利飯就還可以哩一間餐廳可以話系一大班朋友黎睇球賽嘅不二之選呀！

宜家好難約到星期六日食飯，所以約咗平日食。一開始差啲搵唔到餐廳，因為朋友冇話我知餐廳一半係Bar。蘭桂坊好多酒吧，仲以為自己行錯路。意粉，薄餅都好好味。仲叫咗2杯啤酒，專揀香港少見果啲。意粉份量挺少的，不過味道好好。只影咗意粉，其他都忘記影。薄餅剛上的時候好正，不過涷咗就有啲硬。2個人食份量啱啱好。食完見8點幾，為安全著想，又散水。可能有一半係Bar嘅關係，都幾嘈吵。我哋要仲個最入面嘅位置，感覺還可以。女廁只有1格，同一個共用殘廁。

大年初二睇完煙花冇一早book定位，同朋友諗唔到食啲乜嘢，經過見到都有好多人食覺得應該唔會係伏所以就入去坐低試吓。嘢食好快就到，真係好有效率，啱晒咁肚餓嘅我哋。我本身唔係咁鍾意食pizza，但係我想講佢哋個Pizza好好味，啖啖都好滿足，竟然pizza每隻角有olives係入面，本身鍾意食橄欖嘅我真係覺得好驚喜。Pasta嘅味道都好唔錯，係蘭桂坊屹立到嘅水準應該保持得幾穩定，所以以後諗唔到食咩不妨一試啦，最緊要唔使等位。

On my way to a self-grooming appointment, bought off Hokobuy, I chanced by Saigon Etoile cafe / restaurant. A quick look at the menu, one vegetarian banh mi and I were sold to give it a shot.The self-grooming service disappointed me, but the food here did not. They toasted the baguette, and it was simple yet delicious.Sauteed tofu with turmeric and onions, topped with fresh carrots, coriander and pickled radish.It was a quick and satisfying lunch! The look and feel of the place were lively and c

Ciao Chow was our destination for dinner on the child's request earlier this evening.Well, he didn't request this specific place, but he requested spaghetti. Coming from Stanley, getting off at Central, this was close and convenient.The place quite a name for itself. And it's seated in the heart of LKF or Lan Kwai Fong, thereby commanding top dollar prices.And hence, I think, they have zero excuses for serving walnuts that's gone old and smelly. This was for the sweet potato gnocchi that I'd ord
