一開始麵包籃上場,不用說要添加橄欖油及黑醋一起吃,才盡興。年輕時愛呻醋(說的是吃方面,另一方面大家自己去考問郭生 XD),喜歡醋油八二比;現在則喜歡油醋相約,甚至油多於醋,口味不經不覺隨年歲改變了!

繼麵包之後,還有每人一件餐前小吃(不能叫 Amuse bouche,那是法菜用字)奉上,是鯷魚沙律盞,味道沒有太鹹,更突出反而是橄欖油香,不錯。

當日午餐吃得有點晚也有點飽,所以只每人選了一款頭盤,一款肉類主菜,跳過了 Pasta 留胃口給甜品;但因份量頗大,結果也比預期中更飽足!

首先是老公點的 ROCKET salad and shaved ARTICHOKES , parmigiano cheese, lemon EVO ($188),超大量的火箭菜、阿支竹加上 Parmesan 芝士,雖是全素但味道有點鹹有點重,我當然喜歡另一選擇更多。

我點了 BURRATA Caprese with fresh tomatoes PARMA ham and black olives crumbs ($238), 超喜歡軟滑富奶香的 burrata 流心芝士,雖然不該這樣比較,但真的比美心流心月餅好吃太多了!拌上超清甜的番茄,簡直是無以尚之的人間美味;同上的巴馬火腿也柔軟、鹹度適中,吃時可捲一點碟邊的橄欖碎,除了好吃也更添滋味。超推介的頭盤!

頭盤我勝了一仗,不過來到主菜,我選的 Poached NORDIC COD fish with OLIVE OIL, parsley and BOTTARGA sauce ($288) 就較為遜色。沒辦法,總是搞不清鱈魚家族群,常常點錯相;這天的魚不是不新鮮,肉質也不俗,但始終不能與油分高、肉特滑的 black cod 比~

這晚老公威威,點的 VEAL CHOP grilled with olive oil and home made coffee mustard ($338) 簡直可用驚為天人來形容。羊肉已作去骨處理,每件外邊帶微微焦香,同時又帶適量的芳香肥膏,肉質超嫩(絕對比魚嫩很多)更勝BB肌,微微羶香滋味極讚!

印象中,在香港吃到同樣出色的羊肉,除了這裡只有已結業的 Toscany(8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA 大廚之前的餐廳,他現在所有餐廳都是現代風,有時也幾想念 Toscany...),才有這等水準!除了羊肉好吃,配菜的薯泥也很滑。

來到甜品環節,這晚有點瘋狂地點了三款之多,包括 Affagato - Vanilla gelao with Espresso coffee in a Pistachio cup ($98),除了雲尼拿雪糕及濃縮咖啡這經典組合,同上的開心果味小脆杯(可打碎放在咖啡湯中享用),也是亮點之一!

以往一見心太軟就會瘋狂,這晚也點了 Warm bittersweet chocolate LAVA cake, apricot and almond sauce, caramel gelato ($98) 來回味;但這心太軟不算太高質,更讓我瘋狂是同上的焦糖味 gelato,如果大球些就好了!

最後是寫上生日(偽)祝福的 Our Tiramisu in a glass ($98),成品很美,又香又滑很好吃,份量又足,是三款甜品中最出色的;難得是甜品上檯時,餐廳更會播放懷舊生日歌,真感動!

I like anchovies but the chef did a double take on the salt and lost the balance in the food.

What's even more frustrating was that after each plate of antipasti we had to self serve and dump the plates on neighbouring tables before we can be seated comfortably .

Despite repeated signaling we were not served as all the waiters were way too engrossed with tonite's decoration. There were all but TWO tables in total in the whole restaurant so there's no need to bring out the ladder and dust the place while guests like us are having lunch !!!

The food was so so surely far cry from what it once was but it's the horrendous service which got us!

Definitely not a place I would ever come back to. What a disappointment!!!!

Today is New Year's Eve and I booked a table for four to have my two kids, 8 and 5, join my partner and I to have a nice lunch to celebrate the impending new year.

Lunch is $308/head with choice of swordfish, fettuccine with beef check, Spanish omelette or grilled swordfish. The food is so so but what gets me is the horrendous service!

When we arrive, there are only two tables including ours. It's not busy but despite having one maitre d and five waiters nobody served us. After each and every plate of our antipasti buffet we had to lug the dishes and dump them on the neighbouring table as despite repeated requests no waiter cared to help .

All the while we were there they were all 10000% engaged and engrossed in preparing for the setting and decoration for the big dinner tonight.

With a total of three tables in all even with we asked for the check, I saw no reason the haste needed. The only reason is "I don't freaking care, I wanna finish my must-do duties then it's siesta time until the kingdom come!!!!"

I would never ever come back again.

For truffle fans, you got to try the pizza. Crispy thin, just the way I like it. A little bit on the oily side though. Nevertheless definitely will come back for more pizza!

不經不覺,我在上環已有 7年的時間,這 7年來,亦見證了上環區的飲食業變化!


由於,租金不斷上升,眼見很多餐廳食肆抵擋不住租金壓力底下而相繼結業!
 短則三、兩個月,更有屹立十多年的茶餐廳及快餐店也難逃結業厄運!
 好幾年來,不斷有飲食業新力軍進駐上環!形成飲食界新景象!
 然而,在上環區屹立多年的絕大部份是集團式經營的餐廳食肆。

就好似屬於 Gaia Group 位於上環新紀元廣場的 Gaia Ristorante,多年來依然,在上環已屹立十多年的光景!
 經過必定會見到!早上經過,餐廳尚未營業,只見長者逗留這裡看報紙或玩電話,中午經過,餐廳撐起露天茶座的紅傘!陽光照耀之下很奪目!
 也成為眾所周知的高級意大利餐廳!

5 Italian Cheese Platter

Castelmagno
Gratin
Mattarone
Peghera
Crutin Al Tartufo

They are all Italian cheeses for sharing , and the bread is homemade bioche, however it is nothing like the bioche that you can buy in normal bakery, amazingly, it has a mild floral flavour to it, and it goes nicely with the rich goat and sheep cheeses on the board.

Tuna Avocado tartar

The most exciting part of this dish is the whole peppercorn and watermelon hiding in the bed of tuna tartar, it is very pungent that it tickled your tongue while biting into it. The whole combination was quite interesting and we couldn't stop eating it. One thing that can be improved was the texture of the avocado. I think it would be better if the avocados were a bit more ripe so that there won't be any chunks.

Accinghe del Cantabrico

The Cantabric anchovies are from Spain and they are prepared in two different ways in one dish. The one in the tin can is anchovies are cooked with just salt then covered in oil after clearing the salt out, while the other one on the toast are fresh anchovies soaked in water and vinegar then boil for one second before they are served. Traditionally, we should put butter on the toast then enjoy it with the savoury anchovies.

We like the one in oil more as it is way more flavourful and more tender than the boiled one. It is not the easiest thing to find good anchovies in Hong Kong but Gaia has now been on our list when we want it!

Panino & Porchetta

Probably not the most surprising dish on the menu yet all the ingredients were very fresh, including mozzarella cheese, lettuce and roasted pork (more like just normal ham). Fries were also crispy and nicely seasoned.

Maybe we have taken too long before we dig in, the ciabatta bread was soggy because of the water from the steam! We highly recommend you to eat this asap! Don't wait before it is too wet!

Pizza Rughetta

It is the most popular dish in this afternoon tea set and we can totally see why! We were totally in love with the crispy thin pizza crust. The mozzarella, fresh tomato, rocket and parma just combines nicely together and form a mouthgasm. You can probably find this pizza in every Italian restaurant but we particularly like the crispiness and everything about it!

Most evenings that I walk past, it is always crowded with people having drinks.

The afternoon menu was quite good because they have roman style pizzas which is fit for two people.

For lucky people who get off work at 5:30, the afternoon tea is perfect for early dinner.

The inside of the restaurant is nice as well as the alfresco area outside.

On the cheese platter was saffron cheese, pecorino, goats cheese, tomino and talegio.
My favourite was the tomino and pecorino because they were flavourful.
The fig bread was really nice and soft with lots of fig in it.

Tried this restaurant out in a relaxing weekday afternoon last week.

All food are well-prepared.
We ordered 3 starters:
1. Double cream BURRATA mozzarella with Parma ham, eggplant and tomato
2. GAIA assorted leaves GARDEN salad with black olives “earth”
3. Veal RAVIOLI with Parmigiano cheese and HAZELNUT

ALL GOOD. Especially the first one, it's impressive! The appearance is attractive itself. 
Whereas the Garden salad, it made like some plants which presented nicely.

As to the ravioli, it's very creamy and the cheese tasted good. Another excellent dish.

Pizza:
Pizza with BUFFALO mozzarella, tomato & basil

The pizza itself has no problem but I myself preferred some thicker ones. The toppings are good anyways.

Main dish:
Seared SCALLOPS with ASPARAGUS in three ways

Scallops are very fresh ones and very juicy and well cooked. Very very memorable!

Dessert:
Warm temptation of bittersweet chocolate with peach and vanilla gelato

We waited for 15 mins for this dessert but eventually found that the waiting time is well-worthy. The chocolate tasted good and the peach is extremely freshy... nice one.

Exterior environment is extremely comfortable. Servers are well-trained, responsive and helpful, and willing to interact with customers. Nice...
The only thing let me down is the price... it's a bit too pricy that we cannot visit too freq... Overall it's a very very very good experience!!

I wanted a great pizza and passing near Sheung Wan Station, I always saw that pizza place "Gaia" so I tried it at lunch time. We were a group of 5, no wait time, so it was good. We ordered some appetizers : lobster and tuna salad (we had to return it because the tuna was not fresh), beef carpaccio (delicious) and the caprese salad (just ok).After that, two of us decided to have pizza. I tried the Margherita. It was excellent! This pizza has a thin crust which I loved. My friend tried the one wit

I wanted a great pizza and passing near Sheung Wan Station, I always saw that pizza place "Gaia" so I tried it at lunch time. 
We were a group of 5, no wait time, so it was good. 
We ordered some appetizers : lobster and tuna salad (we had to return it because the tuna was not fresh), beef carpaccio (delicious) and the caprese salad (just ok).
After that, two of us decided to have pizza. I tried the Margherita. It was excellent! This pizza has a thin crust which I loved. My friend tried the one with arugula on top and she was very pleased with it. As for my other friends, they ordered : lamb (very good and tender), veal chop (also a good choice)  and pasta with losbter (too sweet for my friend's tastes).
To finish our meal, we wanted to try some desserts: the tiramisu does not taste like a real tiramisu; the chocolate fondant was not "fondant" which is a shame and then, the last one ( I can't remember the name but it is the one with "fresh" strawberries) was a deception. 
Last but not least, the coffee was too hot and tasted burnt.
The helpful and friendly staff made up for the food and we will give it another try...

We have been to Gaia many times, and have enjoyed the food. Last night we sat in the outside dining area. We were very surprised to see a couple being welcomed into the restaurant with their four dogs. At times, the dogs were held in their laps as they ate. When my husband spoke to the waitress to ask why this was allowed, she could not answer, but said that she would speak to the manager. When nobody came to speak to us, we decided that we would enjoy our meal and follow it up later. My husband

I found the restaurant's lack of concern for its diners quite appalling.

Meeting friend who worked in sheung wan and we both wanted something to eat before starting  the drinking party with other friends.  Gaia is just around the corner of her office and I was thinking of having some Italian dessert.  However they have only savory dishes like pizza and sandwich I'm the afternoon menu.  
A bit disappointed to my sweet tooth but the ham and fontina cheese sandwich was so good, we almost need to order another one. The bread is warm and crunchy outside just right. The ham not too salty blends well with the melted fontina cheese perfect in taste. The side salad using very high quality balsamic hence we cleaned up the whole plate 
 The only thing to improve is the green tea is too watery. Too much water in the teapot.  A single serving tea bag in a rather big pot.  Guess it's my wrong choice of oriental tea in an Italian restaurant

露荀芝士PIZZA, 用上味道較濃的芝士, 是有咸香那種味濃, 所以老實講, 完全唔多食到露荀的味道
夠熱夠脆夠香芝士味, 但如果你不慣食咸香臭芝士, 唔好點.

整晚食物都冇特別有令我留下深刻印象, 可能坐下後, 自然用其他餐廳去比較, 總覺有不足

但如果唔計酒, 其實都係1000一個人頭, 咁上下質素都完全合理正常

計埋酒就5000 一個人頭啦
