知道ISOLA 裝修過後, 於是訂位試試, 訂了7:30PM 坐露天枱....感覺好舒服AR......裝修過後的ISOLA 跟未裝修前是99%相似, 只是所有野都是新一點...HAHA點了, 1) 意式生牛肉薄切 - 加了青檸汁感覺好清新, 但只覺牛片厚了一點......2) 龍蝦連殼連意粉 - 龍蝦都OK, 但唔夠鮮味, 意粉真的後咬口....不錯3) 帶子....(唔記得全名) - 太差LA, 帶子是發水, 口感是魚旦但帶有帶子品, 好差4) 最後來了個甜品拼盆, 共5款, 每樣小小....每款甜品都很精品....不錯..HEHE總括而言, 食物只是一般, 但氣氛跟環境可以補返.(但而家出面有個大地盆, 有點大殺風景)....可以一試

聖誕將至,一定不少大餐排著隊要吃。今年的第二餐聖誕餐,就是在這裡吃lunch semi buffet。選了out –door seats,紫外光都幾強吓,但勝在感覺自在一點。在來之前,也做了功課。食友推介,pizza啦!還有我自己看到相片,已想吃,其貌如Awfully chocolate的朱古力蛋糕。由於和不太熟的人同枱,不好意思,先拿甜品(朱古力蛋糕)。其實我有想過,會否之後不再refill。Anyway,都是先拿前菜。沙律款之多,絕對不是平日buffet上的生菜、沙律醬類,而是非常西方口味的紅菜頭沙律、薏米沙律、撈雞脾菇沙律、小米粒沙律等。還有火腿蜜瓜、數款芝士。真是滿足了比較少吃的好奇心!然後叫了一個half half的pizza,一邊是火腿+火箭菜;另一邊是芝士黑松露。我當然吃後者啦!餅底薄而柔韌,黑松露醬+芝士,芝味羶香得,吃一片已滿足了。每人也選了不同的main course,而我則選了蝦/蟹肉/鱸魚墨汁細扁麵蕃茄汁。麵條非常有rye的粗嚡口感,蕃茄汁蘸滿海鮮的味道。揀選這個的,無不讚好!我也嚐了隔離的4重芝士長通粉。芝士味道十分濃,少許羶味,但沒有汁液,令通粉較乾身。這個

,但勝在感覺自在一點。
在來之前,也做了功課。食友推介,pizza啦!還有我自己看到相片,已想吃,其貌如Awfully chocolate的朱古力蛋糕。
由於和不太熟的人同枱,不好意思,先拿甜品(朱古力蛋糕)。其實我有想過,會否之後不再refill。

然後叫了一個half half的pizza,一邊是火腿+火箭菜;另一邊是芝士黑松露。我當然吃後者啦!餅底薄而柔韌,黑松露醬+芝士,芝味羶香得,吃一片已滿足了。
每人也選了不同的main course,而我則選了蝦/蟹肉/鱸魚墨汁細扁麵蕃茄汁。麵條非常有rye的粗嚡口感
,蕃茄汁蘸滿海鮮的味道。揀選這個的,無不讚好
!
我也嚐了隔離的4重芝士長通粉。芝士味道十分濃,少許羶味,但沒有汁液,令通粉較乾身。這個麻麻地。
另其餘的,只影了相,沒有試食。
此際是吃甜品的時候。但果然真的不會再出朱古力蛋糕了
。真的非常極之遺憾
!現出的,只有tiramisu、cheese cake和一款,如鳥結糖的蛋糕。
幸好Tiramisu沒令人失望, Mascarpone Cheese部份很好吃,如果lady finger浸酒再浸透一點會更好。
Cheese cake很乾,不幼滑,芝士淡淡。甜品....太少選擇吧。
基本上這裡的食物,好吃又抵吃。但切記要拿朱古力蛋糕。

另一款薄餅是Trifola,薄餅送來後已傳出陣陣松露香味,原來配料是Black Truffle,Crescenza,Mozzarella & Baby Spinach。點點的黑松露粒混於水牛芝士內,芝士味非常香濃,入口松露菌味於口中持久不散,再配上新鮮的菠菜葉,增添幾分口感,整體真不錯。

甜品點了一客心太軟,心太軟頗流心,切後開朱古力溶漿緩緩地流出,看下去稠稀度頗高。但入口可可味不夠濃郁,味道較甜一點。蛋糕外層焗得不夠脆身,但內裡還濕潤,配以雪白而幼滑的雲尼拿雪糕同吃,實在叫人滿足。

I haven't been to Isola for a long time. My friend and I want to have a nice pasta for Sat dinner. I made reservation for here so that we don't need to wait. It was a busy night at Isola. I always enjoy the nice customers and good service in Isola. That's what I pay for too. Fried calamari is a good dish to start the nice meal.

Parmigiano-Reggiano
今次來其實最主要是懷念這 Parmigiano-Reggiano 意大利芝士,Lunch Set 的自助頭盆可以很豪情的任吃個飽!香脆 Crunchy 的芝士粒粒帶點點的甜味,是 Aged 過的特級 Parmesan Cheese,比較硬與乾身,味道更濃更香,是意大利芝士之王,正如法國的 Roquefort 與瑞士的 Raclette,都是芝士迷不能錯過的品種。

Lunch Menu
原本 ISOLA 最馳名是薄薄脆脆的石燒 Stone Baked Pizza,不過要 À la carte 單點才有。Lunch Set HK$348 + 10% 可選湯或自助頭盆,要吃芝士當然要選自助頭盆啦!主菜是七選一,有 Risotto、Fusilli、Tagliatelle、Penne 多款 Pasta、煎魚、燒雞或炸豬扒的選擇,婷婷與媽媽選了兩款不同的 Pasta。最後是自助甜品 Buffet,還有咖啡或茶,連加一埋單每人 HK$383,是一般高級商務午餐的價錢。週未客人大都是 Family、老外與濶太,生意滔滔!

Antipasti
比較喜歡從前總廚 Gianni Caprioli 的口味,以往有大量鮮味十足的蝦沙律,今次來好像有點偷工減料,自助頭盆款色的確很多,不過看來看去都揀不下手,不太合口味,唯有主攻芝士,媽媽與婷婷都只吃了一回便收手了,實在有點兒失望,到底是水準下降了,還是自己要求調高了呢?看見周邊的人都吃得那麼高興,開始對自己有些懷疑!

全場滿座,室內環境非常嘈吵,加上冷氣不足,欠缺高級食肆應有的舒適,但亦增添了輕鬆熱鬧的感覺,有得必有失!Give & Take!

Prosciutto, rucola e scaglie di parmigiano ($198)
Parma ham, diced tomatoes, mozzarella, arugula and parmigiano on a thin crispy base, which tasted a lot like crackers. The dressing of the pizza did however mean by the time it arrived it was cold, and the once melted cheese was no longer stringy. Whilst I appreciated the generous portion of parma, part of me was missing the yeasty flavour from thi-crust Roman base pizzas. That said, the cracker base at Isola is not bad, its just a personal preference thing. I think the popularity of this pizza comes from the fact that they do use very fresh ingredients, from the shaved parmesan to the finely chopped tomatoes. (7.5/10)

Homemade Square Spaghetti with Sicilian Red Plums, Shrimps Zucchini in Cherry Tomato Sauce ($248)

This item was on their specials menu and it sounded good so we thought we'd try it. To our disappointment the house-made pasta was square shaped all right, but the dough was so dense the pasta after cooking was almost 'hard'... not in an undercooked kind of way... it was edible, just not very pleasant. The shrimps were tiny, not fresh at all, and the zucchini was sliced so thin and small you could hardly taste it under the tomato sauce. The only redeeming quality was the fresh and rich tomato sauce, but this you can get in a lot of restaurants. (4.5/10)

This experience was sort of a blow to my expectations. Although the parma pizza was quite good, at the price they charge, I think I'll go elsewhere for a yummy well-executed pasta. Moreover, with the recent surge of italian restaurants popping up around town i don't see why not!

We went to Isola as a final diner with friends who were leaving that night. Convenient location and great views. That's all isola has to offer!

Our evening started with waiters unwilling to help us carry our wine from the bar upstairs to our table outside, then our table was half set, no cutlery or napkins. We had to wait 10 minutes before we even got our menus, and had to ask for bread several times.

A waitress then arrived with two bottles of olive oil for the bread, (instead of oil and balsamic vinegar), so instead of serving us all the olive oil, she panicked and disappeared! Having only served one of us...

Then our mains arrived, and none of us had cutlery ! Again we had to ask, and wait 10 minutes for these to be brought to us.

My friend then asked for a glass of limoncello and you've guessed it, we had to wait another 20 minutes before reminding them to bring it.

When the bill arrived we decided not to pay for the service as it had been bad the whole evening..

This is where the shock begins; the waitress wont accept our reasons for not paying , telling us that the service was good and we didnt get our napkins and cutlery because we were the second service of the night ?? ( does that make us less valuable customers) She then tells us to wait for the manager...

We wait... and wait... Finally we decide to go and see him ourselves as our friends had to leave and this was starting to become a very long meal!

The manager, also refuses to accept our reason for not paying and adds that they have the right to make us wait !

To add insult to injury the head chef walks past, muttering ' i bet they are french! ' so rude and racist. Yes we are french... The chef also refuses to understand our points and instead of apologising as any professional would , he started being quite abusive! Apparently they have 500 covers a day and we are not important.. 'just pay and get out'

We were shocked by the way in which they dealt with this situation, not once apologising or accepting fault.

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT UNLESS YOU ENJOY RUDE, ARROGANT STAFF AND AN EGOTISTICAL CHEF. IF YOU WANT THE VIEW I RECOMMEND LOOKING AT IT FROM THE ROOFTOP!

Came here for a semi lunch buffet and the view's amazing. Love the simple white table clothes and the clean and relaxed ambiance. High ceiling and and lots of light. Staff are very polite. The appetizer buffet is quite nice. Not too much raw salad leaves to choose from, they are mainly marinated salad dishes. Their couscous is quite good, the mixed seafood salad's good too. Most other choices are well flavored. Wish there were more cheese selections and perhaps some crackers to go with.One thin

Came here for a semi lunch buffet and the view's amazing. Love the simple white table clothes and the clean and relaxed ambiance. High ceiling and and lots of light. Staff are very polite.


The appetizer buffet is quite nice. Not too much raw salad leaves to choose from, they are mainly marinated salad dishes. Their couscous is quite good, the mixed seafood salad's good too. Most other choices are well flavored.
Wish there were more cheese selections and perhaps some crackers to go with.

One thing to note - the bread basket could be better. A bit stale and cold.


For main course I had the mushroom and thyme tagiatelle. Not bad but nothing spectacular.

The desserts are better than I expected! The cheesecake is not too sweet, the chocolate cake is denser than I imagined. The best was definitely the mini chocolate tart with the raspberry on top! Delicious!!


For the view, ambiance, service, selection and taste, one of the top choices for semi-buffet lunches around the area.

胃口麻麻,要吃點健康的沙律,在選擇不多的條件下,要了水牛芝士沙律。賣相古怪,陳醋之外感覺還添加了其他的味道,幾款組合加在一起,感覺很港式,至於味道最喜歡其實是無蘸到汁的沙律菜,而水牛芝士,只勝在分兩慷慨。撇開食物,頂層的小白屋,開揚的環境頗適合幾位朋友小聚的。

The main courses get served once you've finished with your appetizer. But if you're like me (keep hovering around the buffet line), you could request for your main course to be served as you continue to have your appetizer.
The steak's tender, juicy and flavorful. Yummy!

I don't normally order pasta as a side dish, but I have a certain weakness for tagliatelle, and this one is delicious! Perfectly cooked pasta + tasty ragout meat sauce = winner!

...I went crazy at the dessert station. Most exceeded my (reasonably low?) expectations. My favorites were the chocolate tart and chocolate eclair.

If I told you that I don't like chocolate, would you believe me?
No?
Good. You shouldn't ^_^

Consume the sweets with a cup of good coffee...

Second time to Isola, and this time with my group of girlfriends for pre- xmas celebration. Frankly, I didn't come back for the food; but given its view overlooking the pier & harbour view, mid-range price & its prime location in IFC; Isola is definitely a convenient choice. We booked a table of 5 at the terrace. I would highly recommend anyone coming here to reserve a table outside, especially when the weather permits it.

Second time to Isola, and this time with my group of girlfriends for pre- xmas celebration. Frankly, I didn't come back for the food; but given its view overlooking the pier & harbour view, mid-range price & its prime location in IFC; Isola is definitely a convenient choice.

We booked a table of 5 at the terrace. I would highly recommend anyone coming here to reserve a table outside, especially when the weather permits it. We all know how rare it is that we can sit comfortably outdoor without putting ourselves at risk of getting a heatstroke. So make good use of the terrace, that view probably counts for 20% of the bill that you are paying for the meal!

For starters, we ordered the Baby Spinach Salad, Fried Calamari & Cured Tuna Loin marinated with tomatoes. I would say they are pretty standard. But the Cured Tuna Loin is worth mentioning, it comes with orange fennel salad & capers. It tastes a bit like lightly grilled tuna sashimi, and a hint of sourness. Perhaps of my personal like of orange fennel salad (which you do not often see in dishes, but it tastes amazing on its own!), this is the only dish throughout the night that is 'interesting'.

For mains, Isola is a place where you find simple Italian dishes. Pasta/ Pizza/ meat. We ordered 2 pizzas- Trifola (Black truffle, Mozzarella) & Prosciutto. 2 other Strozzapreti (short twisted pasta) & a risotto. I had the Trifola pizza, it is a vegetarian pizza with a lot of mache leaves on top. If you love Truffle then this pizza is for you, coz i am pretty satisfied with it since I can see and taste a lot of truffles on it! But I would have thought it can appeal to even more people if some meat are added on it, because I feel that it will not be substantial enough for some people.

In short, Isola is a reasonably priced, mid-range Italian restaurant with nice view in Central. Great location & ambiance. A suitable place for a group of close friends having a dinner with simple food, with some view, but not too formal. Equally, it can be a great spot for romantic dinners, try to request the seats on the side of the terrace, so you have the harbour view all for yourself. They have numerous heaters standing on the terrace, so it should be fine for a mild winter in HK. At times, simple & uncomplicated food make a greater night than those 'innovative' molecular food. At least you don't have to spend time studying the menu & try to figure out what you are eating when the food arrive.

I like coming here at night to see the view of Kowloon all lit up - especially nice during Dec. The patio is very nice, and I would recommend it if the weather is nice. This is one of those restaurants that had at least 3 bus persons or waiters surrounding the table whenever they are clearing plates or serving food. The service is excellent and they are really friendly. For a last minute seating, they were really accommodating. It's really just pizza and pasta here for dinner. There are main c

This is one of those restaurants that had at least 3 bus persons or waiters surrounding the table whenever they are clearing plates or serving food. The service is excellent and they are really friendly. For a last minute seating, they were really accommodating.

It's really just pizza and pasta here for dinner. There are main courses as well, but they never catch my eye. I've also been for lunch, where they have a very nice cold plates bar for you to choose from.

The pizza are authentic thin crust pizzas. We got the Piccante Spicy Italian Salami with olives. It was really salty.
The Gorganzola Gnocchi was amazing. It was cheese with a hint of blue cheeziness, but without the strong flavour. The added parma ham, gave it a nice kick. It was cooked perfectly.
