今個週末同hubby試試意式晚餐。有聞這餐廳以前是星級的,所以對晚餐有所期待。餐廳位於五星級酒店內,維港景色盡覧無遺。我們被安排坐於窗旁海景位,看著夜景,飲一囗白酒,十分寫意,平日的煩惱一掃而空。今夜試的是五個course 的tasting menu, 980 per head. Welcome white wine容易入口,味道甜美帶點fruity.連不飲酒的我也覺得 不錯。Bread stick(4/5)看來很大條,但入口非常鬆脆,仿彿就是空氣!沾上高質的olive oil 同甜甜地的黑醋,滋味無窮,估唔到咁simple的嘢 都可以咁好食。Warm Mediterranean red prawn , fresh burrito cheese/Candied tomato , basil, anchovies, TaralLo biscuit(4/5)這道菜,分開食無乜特別,各有各的天然味道,但混合一起食,十分美味!蝦肉的鮮美加上清淡的burrito cheese ,令蝦味更rich, 再加上甜甜酸酸的蕃茄同basil 的清香,味道豐富而清新,很有意式風味!Carnaroli ris

這道菜味道幾鮮,risotto 入口creamy, 質地煙韌,粒粒分明有口感,仔細嘴嚼,有少少火腿的咸香同濃濃的旦王香。

這道菜和上一道菜的味道十分相近,滿有芝香,中間混合著鮮美的帶子粒、蜆肉同蝦肉,而那薯仔造的gnocchi口感軟糯,同剛剛口感煙韌的節然不同,雖然十分地道意式風味,唯獨感覺澱粉質太多了,只適合淺嚐,若是換了是湯,應該會更合意。

嘩啦!平曰食tasting menu dinner的main course 只有三四安士,而這件牛扒起碼有六安士。這牛扒雖然不是和牛,但入口超級嫩滑,完全唔會輸比和牛。牛扒外層焦香,內裏嫩紅,烤到五成熟剛剛好,牛肉味好濃又滿有肉汁,是今晚的亮點。而且這牛扒是厚切的,囗感十足,啖啖肉,正好滿足我牛魔王的欲望。我估這牛扒應該是dry aged 過,再slow cook, 然後再grill, 才有這種外脆內軟又juicy 的效果。真的比上週在星級餐廳吃的A3 wagyu 更正!

甜品造型平實,很香檸檬味,酸酸甜甜的,味道十分清新。旦糕質地很light, 主要由滑滑的lemon mousse 造成,感覺零負擔,是唔錯的甜點。

咖啡入口絲滑,泡沬十分細緻,cappincino 味道甘香奶滑,而mocha 入口甜美,但又沒有朱古力的甜膩,真的有水準!


Petite fours (3/5)
只是簡單的朱古力,比較一般。

總結:環境氣氛同服務不錯,食物水準高(有感味道方面比tosca 更好),加上信用卡優惠晚餐買一送一,感覺性價比高,可以一試。

已經有一排冇去歐洲玩,突然之間好想食意大利菜。港島嘅朋友就推薦左呢間俾我,話呢間意大利菜相當出色。一坐低叫完嘢食,侍應就放低長長嘅麵包條,原來麵包就係叫Grissini!用咗店名來做麵包個名,一定係有返咁上下出色…果然真係!又脆又香,麵包味突出又有嚼勁!配上黑醋橄欖油,平時少食澱粉質嘅我都食咗三四條!而且係無限refill...飲住酒,食食吓唔覺意都飽左一半…自己都唔覺得唔好意思,哈哈好在兩個女仔都唔係叫咗好多dishes,Beef carpaccio 生牛肉配芝士既經典意大利菜,牛肉味濃,火箭菜充滿芝麻香氣,意大利旅行嘅感覺返晒黎。從來都未食過地中海紅蝦,所以就叫左Burrata with Red prawn。佢個水牛芝士相當好味,奶味柔和,中間更加creamy,印象難忘。紅蝦比一般蝦爽甜鮮味太多,蝦味濃郁,蝦中之王當之無愧!另外仲叫咗個意大利雲吞不過掛住食無影相,雲吞皮充滿蛋香,厚薄適中,餡料芝士味香濃,好味!好滿足嘅意大利菜!而且夜景好靚,如果同另一半一齊黎一定係浪漫非常!

The bread is super good. Long and thin, crispy yet soft and moist inside. Good pairing with the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Love the vinegar so so much,, thick, sweet, much richer than ordinary ones,, remind me the good old days in the UK.

We had stewed seabass with tomato paste and roasted potato, olives.

It came with a crispy skin but tender meat. Not very oily, but quite a fulfilling and fresh fishy taste.

Ended with a traditional tiramisu.

One can immediately taste the difference. Creamier, stronger wine in it. Can't find this classical one in other restaurant here.

A very nice one,, excellent service as well.

Grissini既包超好食,唔少食評都寫過,我都覺得真係無敵,就唔多講喇。是日情人節,只提供set dinner。由antipasto到secondi都不俗,但到甜品就失手了。甜品有兩款,一個係mixed berries with chocolate。兩粒士多啤梨都係生嘅,有1/3位置白色,有冇揀過啲生果先上碟呢?依家士多啤梨當做喎,你唔係普通甜品舖,點可以俾啲咁嘅質素士多啤梨hea d食客?仲有兩粒朱古力係用咗勁酸既coating包住,鍾意食super lemon candy嘅朋友就會好鍾意,我就覺得酸得過火。值得一提,佢哋用嘅raspberry好靚,新鮮大粒勁紅超香果味。另一款甜品係hazelnut choco meringue with passion fruit ice cream. Passion fruit味點解調到咁酸?有微酸黎點綴甜品係好既,但係酸度重手咗咯。Valentines Day既甜品真係令人有點失望。

I was expecting a lot first time here. I wanted beef, but the set lunch didn't have steak. The waiter didn't seem to know what he was doing when he was setting the cutlery, he got it wrong and came back to set it again. I ordered seafood spaghetti, it was good. Bread is very nice. Two guests on the table ordered fish for main course, both of them sent the fish back as they were raw. Shocking! I wanted coke and it took me telling them twice to come. Well, it is overrated.

Grissini is probably one of the best Sunday brunch you can find in HK. They have a lot of varieties of food. Cold cut, roasted beef and pork, lasagna, pasta station, dessert bar and a table of different hot food. Moreover, you can also order different dishes from their menu (it's all you can eat). The food is really in high quality and good taste. The grissini (long bread) is hot and nice!! I like their vinegar and olive oil very much. It matches really well with the freshly baked grissini.

The food is really in high quality and good taste. The grissini (long bread) is hot and nice!! I like their vinegar and olive oil very much. It matches really well with the freshly baked grissini.

Service is excellent, but just that those dishes (grilled lobster) took quite a time to deliver to you.

Basically, everything is perfect in here. I would highly recommend you guys to have a try.

I always get just a little bit excited when I discover that international chefs are coming to Hong Kong for guest stints, especially when they are as renowned as Chef Gaetano Trovato, owner of Two Michelin Starred restaurant Italian restaurant Arnolfo.

Chef Trovato was coming to visit his former protege Alessandro Cozzolino who currently holds the position of Chef de Cuisine at the Grand Hyatt's Grissini. Spending a few short days in the kitchen of the Italian fine dining restaurant, there was a limited opportunity to sample the maestro's take on classic Italian cooking.

Of course, we had to take advantage of the narrow window of opportunity and make a reservation.

We'd picked the coldest day on record to visit Grissini, it had barely risen beyond 2 degrees celsius in Hong Kong, so when we arrived at the Grand Hyatt, we were dressed in clothes more appropriate for skiing in the Italian alps. When we made our way through the grand hallway of the Hyatt and up to the entrance to Grissini, we'd only just managed to get the feeling back in our fingers.

We were given spectacular seats, which afforded us an unobstructed view of Hong Kong's world famous skyline, which would have been perfect on a warm summer's eve! The floor to ceiling windows were beautiful, but allowed the cold from outside to slowly seep into the restaurant, so we had to keep our jackets and scarfs on.

Our waiter for the evening brought over the menu and proceeded to explain the two menus on offer, the Gaetano Trovato offering and the normal Grissini offering. We were there for one reason, and one reason only, so it was an easy choice to make, the only decision was whether to sample the four course tasting menu, or chose from the a la carte selection. In the end, we both wanted different selections so went for the a la carte.

While we were waiting for our starters to arrive, we were brought out the most amazing breadsticks that we'd ever seen. It shouldn't have been a surprise though, grissini is Italian for 'breadsticks' and for the restaurant to share that name, meant that the freshly baked 'grissini' would be the essence of the restaurant. Slightly peppery olive oil was poured at the table and the warm and crusty 'grissini' were pulled apart and devoured very quickly.

We'd been expecting the sort of spectacular and delicious dishes that can only come out of a two star kitchen and we were not disappointed. The girl kicked off her meal with the Valdonardo Muscovy duck breast with an aroncini ball filled with the confit duck leg. Finishing off the simple yet beautiful presentation was a line of perfectly cubed turnip tops and a smear of pumpkin puree. The duck breast was exquisitely cooked, the duck fat rendered to perfection and the duck skin crisp, slightly salty and full of flavour. For a city that has duck on most of the menus, it was a real treat to again see duck prepared so well and deliver so much flavour. It was just a cut above the duck we'd experienced in Hong Kong to date.

I was in love with the simple elegance of my starter, which was simply red prawns, foie gras and grapefruit. The presentation was pretty, but in a kind of dated way, with the grapefruit and prawn paired up and surrounding the rich and decedent foie gras. With three ingredients on the plate, there would be nowhere to hide if not absolutely perfect and perfection was what was achieved. The red prawns had been treated with such respect that they literally shined on the plate. The balance was exquisite too, equal portions of foie gras, prawn and grapefruit ensured that no single ingredient overpowered the other. I particularly loved how the acidic grapefruit combined with the foie gras to deliver a flavour that was hard to describe - apart from being addictive! I was so sad when I'd finished my last bit, but also joyous that I'd managed to experience the dish in the first place.

Chef Trovato's skills continued to be on display with our mains, the first of which was a pumpkin risotto with pienza pecorino cheese and crispy suckling pig. We loved the presentation of the risotto, which is hard to display beautifully at the best of times. The elegant dish saw a continuation of the cubed styling of the girl's starter. This time, cubes of succulent pork belly sat atop of the expertly cooked rice, as did cubes of soft pumpkin. The flavour of the risotto was quite benign, the light sweet flavour of the pumpkin just sitting on the tip of your palate, but was seriously enhanced with a smear of pumpkin puree.

I was seriously happy with my lamb rack, which accompanied by filet of lamb, asparagus and caramelised Spanish onion. Again, the simple ingredients were perfectly displayed on the plate with the rare lamb being the centrepiece that drew the eye. Looking good is one thing, but the lamb dish followed through with incredible flavour - in particular the tender sweet lamb. There was a thin smear of olive puree that provided a little natural saltiness to the lamb, which along with the sticky jus, really rounded off a spectacular plate of food.

Of course we hung around for dessert, hoping that the beautiful simplicity and perfection of our meal to date would continue onto sweets. Look, there was noting particularly wrong with our dessert, but they were quite the let down - in relative terms...

I'd chosen the golden, granny smith apple and the girl had chosen the chocolate. Both desserts looked pretty similar, centred around a parfait cylinder, but with different supporting acts. Where the starters and mains were simple and delicious, the desserts had a feel of being slightly pre-prepared and a little formulaic. Both had good flavour combinations, in particular the chocolate, which came with white, extra dark and milk chocolate as well as dollops of salty caramel and balsamic vinegar. My granny smith fell just a little bit flat and I didn't particularly like the textures or flavour.

I'd been to Grissini once before for a lunch meeting, and while it had been OK, it hadn't set my world afire. Not so with guest chef Gaetano Trovato, I had been completely smitten with the simple elegance and complete harmony in the flavours. It takes real skill to take three or four ingredients and let them speak for themselves on a plate. Even considering that the desserts were not to the same wonderful standard ensured that the meal was one of the best we'd had in Hong Kong.

We loved the little details, like coming around and replacing our 'grissini' or breadsticks when they went cold, as well as topping up our olive oil to continue enjoying the crusty bread. Service was friendly and professional, just what you'd expect from such a restaurant in one of the better hotels in HK.

Without doubt, I will be taking myself off to Italy at some point in the next year or so, I think I want to get in and check out chef Trovato's restaurant Arnolfo. I think testing out his full restaurant menu would be incredible...

Of course, it would allow me to get over and check out Massimo Bottura's world #2 restaurant Osteria Franciscana!

意大利菜一向份量好細, 其實個人並唔喜歡, 但Business lunch都係要俾面食, 今次算幾對我胃口, 頭盤烤魷魚還可以, 主菜係蕃茄汁大蝦扁通粉, 大蝦新鮮, 調味好好, 唔會太鹹, 甜品有架餐車任揀, 但只可以揀一次, 我要咗tiramisu同mixed berries, tiramisu好好食, 冇得輸. 值得一提係呢間餐廳會餐前有一條條長麵包, 任食唔嬲, 食完可以refill, 煙煙靭靭口感唔錯, 要點橄欖油同醋食, 可惜唔記得影相.

這是我的慶生晚飯,意料之外的是老公竟然帶我連吃兩餐意大利餐,加上我甚少提起Grissini, 想不到他會想到來這裡慶生。意想不到的是,除了Grissini著名的grissini麵包,這裡還有其他讓我難忘的美食...帶著我家小王子一同來,由於有bb車,店方就安排我們三口子坐在一角,既安全又不會阻礙通道/其他客人。剛好座位對著街,小王子大部分時間都目不轉睛地望著街外的車子、對面的幻彩XXX,讓我倆和其他客人都可吃頓安靜晚餐,好好享受~來到Grissini,必吃其grissini。在reception可看到師傅專門焗製這意大利長麵包,在店方亦會為你不斷refill 或替換,務求客人吃到最熱烘烘的麵包。外脆內軟,麵粉香濃,果然是名物,我明知好戲在後頭,都連吃下兩大條! 連我家小王子都有幸淺嘗這美食,人仔細細,多幸福!原本預備的紅酒因已變質,在這裡只點了一杯白酒二人共享,是天意要我們是晚做對清醒的父母吧?! Skipped antipasti, 直接來兩客 primi piatti。意大利人的用餐傳統是先吃first dish (pasta), 再來main dish 的。Homemade me

帶著我家小王子一同來,由於有bb車,店方就安排我們三口子坐在一角,既安全又不會阻礙通道/其他客人。剛好座位對著街,小王子大部分時間都目不轉睛地望著街外的車子、對面的幻彩XXX,讓我倆和其他客人都可吃頓安靜晚餐,好好享受~

來到Grissini,必吃其grissini。在reception可看到師傅專門焗製這意大利長麵包,在店方亦會為你不斷refill 或替換,務求客人吃到最熱烘烘的麵包。

外脆內軟,麵粉香濃,果然是名物,我明知好戲在後頭,都連吃下兩大條! 連我家小王子都有幸淺嘗這美食,人仔細細,多幸福!

原本預備的紅酒因已變質,在這裡只點了一杯白酒二人共享,是天意要我們是晚做對清醒的父母吧?! Skipped antipasti, 直接來兩客 primi piatti。意大利人的用餐傳統是先吃first dish (pasta), 再來main dish 的。

意大利雲吞通常以菠菜芝士餡為主,是次我們吃的是肉餡!自家製的雲吞,粒粒飽滿,切開陣陣肉味撲出來,加上其牛仔肉汁實在香濃,是一等一享受! 基本上牛仔肉汁是掛在每粒雲吞身上,你可以很lady地一開二吃,仍然每口都有濃濃的肉味。這客也真夠份量,我想我們每人吃到20粒,大滿足呢!

蟹肉意大利飯,配上Squacquerone cheese,據說這種芝士很難在意大利以外的地方買到。這是質感tangy的fresh cream cheese,用在risotto上基本上是"無得輸"。要讚的是啖啖蟹肉,淡淡的海鮮鮮味,幼滑的芝士sauce, let alone risotto的飯芯仍然帶點硬,這是我們喜歡的口味,沒有可挑剔的地方。我比較偏愛這客意大利飯,而老公則愛雲吞,各有各喜好。

意大利是沿海國家,其海鮮值得一試。所以我們來一客secondi piatti, shared。

上圖為單人portion,elegant presentation。一件魚柳、菇菌類、蘆筍、墊底的是烤薯仔。魚肉嫩滑鮮甜,配合菇菌類的芳香實在叫人難忘。能吃到鮮嫩的魚與吃到靚牛一樣不簡單。邊吃邊想著小王子可以分享一下就好了。

來到甜品環節,我倆基本上要點至少兩份甜品才可以call it a night。翻看甜品menu數遍,沒有太多合心水的,就只對homemade desserts from trolley最好奇,原來是這樣子的:

最好吃的要數右手邊的macaron, chocolate tart及raspberry tart。Macaron是焦糖味,杏仁皮又脆又香杏仁味,做得不錯,size也比一般的大隻,吃一件都滿足。

Chocolate tart的朱古力濃郁,沒機會問他們用的是哪款朱古力,但牛油皮香脆、朱古力density夠高,這個可以多吃一件! Raspberry tart的亮點在於那撻皮是macaron!有數款不同的莓類在一個細小的撻皮上,酸酸甜甜的很開胃! 

其他的如tiramisu也很好,creamy texture with a hint of coffee flavor; mixed fruits, apple mousse & chocolate eclair則比較平實,下次會skip。

對於這裡的service我們也滿意,影相的影得不錯,有心機多影幾張,務求影到小王子望鏡頭的一刻; 介紹食物時簡單清晰。我們覺得是晚亮點是意想不到的甜品trolley,竟然有個mini dessert buffet! 謝謉老公的安排~

What more to say about Grissini? Why would anybody still want to talk about an established, renowned restaurant?

Unlimited buon sapore Italiano and free flow wine and fresh juice, that's why.

While I find the price for a la carte menu a bit on the high side, I have no hesitation reserving seats for their weekend brunch buffet. For $728 you can sample a variety of their famous seafood and pasta dishes. One would wish for a big appetite.
$198 more for free flow wine, $108 more for non-alcoholic drinks

Even if you don't have a big appetite, it is still a comfy place to chill out and relax for a Sunday afternoon. 

The "infamous" grissini was certainly a devil disguised as an angel, especially when paired with the flavoursome balsamic-oil mix. I needed much self control to lure myself away from them.

It was easy to get distracted at the buffet tables, be them the fresh and fragrant foccacia, the beautiful and scrumptious proscuitto, salami, mortadelle, or my favourite beef and swordfish carpaccio, to name but a few.

I am not a vegetable person but I can never get enough of their fennel and rucola. The baked egg tart with vegetables tasted divine even with no meat in it. The egg dish reminded me of the Chinese dish "baked worm with egg" (焗禾蟲) and it tasted just as great with no worm in it.

Over at the roast meat corner there were roast beef, nicely grilled pork ribs with a pink centre, grilled rack of lamb or lamb leg. 3 or more kinds of meat were served each time.

My favourite corner is always the hot plate session in which some difficult-to-get-here traditional Italian dishes, such as zampone (the rusticity and spiciness of which was so charming),  stewed ox tongue (a big favourite among ox-tongue lovers!), stewed ox-tail, braised beef brisket, grilled salcissia (I mean the REAL Italian pork sausages with beautiful spices and a hint of acidity) could be found.

Each table was served with fried seafood south-Italy style. The squid was probably of the best flavour and texture I had tasted here in a western restaurant.

The buffet didn't end here. There were 6 choices of made-to-order piatti primi and secondi (unlimited order!) including stewed lobster, grilled lobster, sauteed mussels Livorno style, and fish / pasta / risotto of the day. 

The lobsters were simply too fresh and cooked too perfect for a semi buffet. I could easily devour a couple of these.

The other time we were served with razor clams with pesto instead of mussels. We lamented that we did not order enough of this! Of course "fish of the day" was also something one wouldn't want to miss, though I ranked the fish dishes fairer to other seafood and pasta choices.

Over at the dessert table there was no shortage of Italian goodies such as panna cotta, tiramisu, authentic cannoli, fluffy and texture-wise conflicting yet interesting Piedmont hazelnut cakes. The stand-out desserts for me was the lemon tart, which was swamped with natural Sicilian lemon flavour, and the "nutella" creme brulee, which was hardly creme brulee in nature but was made just to the perfect smoothness and sweetness. It was intriguing to couple this dessert with Italy's favourite taste.

Finally I would save my stomach (which rarely happens for me in other buffet visits) a variety of imported Italian fresh fruit such as peaches, nectarine and apricots. My only complaint is that the ice-cream was a far cry from gelati Italiani, though the coffee was decently made and tasty.

$1,000 per head with free flow drinks is not cheap, but it would guarantee an interesting culinary journey of Italy.
