呢間意大利餐廳响公司附近, 都開左成年, 一路冇去食晏嘅原因係set lunch價錢唔算平(HK$128+10%), 而且lunch經過都唔多覺有客, 無謂冒險. 今日終於一試都係因為附近想試嘅新餐廳都差不多試過晒, 未試果d又訂唔到枱, 上過黎openrice雖然食評唔多, 但平均評分都不差, 有成3.7分, 於是一行5人今日就黎左, 點知……..

個場頗細, 但唔迫, 都ok.

佢個餐牌全英文, 有幾個意大利食物名詞, 唔知佢係mud, 咪問吓個waitress囉, 佢都係解釋唔到比我地聽…..

麵包:
有d乾, 而且枱面得橄欖油, 冇醋

頭盤: Antipasti和湯, 二選一
Antipasti: 聽講d菜有d係苦嘅, 不太新鮮
湯: Minestrone, 勁咸

主菜:
我d 同事嗜牛, 一於好勇敢咁叫左個 Veal XXXXXX (就係唔知個字係 mud果個), 原來係兩片薄薄的牛, 痴住片烟肉, 伴住d 菜咁, 女士食都未必夠飽, 男士食就更加唔駛講.
而我與另一位同事就選茄汁三文魚天使面, 呢個合格, 如果個餐係收$70的話.

飲品:
餐牌上的coffee and tea 係cross out 左個coffee 的, 解釋係coffee machine壞左, 冏….. 焗住飲檸檬茶, 我飲熱的, 味道就冇mud點, 但切檸檬刀功就一流, 每片呈半圓形, 我分到有3片; 而凍果兩杯, 我見到每杯有3-4個半圓形, 聽講冇檸檬味亦唔覺有茶味.

甜品:
見到有四款, 最吸引的是Black Forest, 我地眼見其他人d cake每份都有八分一個cake咁上下的size, 咁就問 吓個waiter剩底果d Black Forest可以切到幾多份啦, 佢話5份, 咁咪要晒佢囉, 點知黎到每一份絕對冇八分一嘅size, 而5碟都大小不一, 有份仲好似一開二咁, 好有被騙嘅感覺囉! 而好彩嘅係佢唔算好食囉.

到比錢果陣, 一句多謝都冇, 其實成餐飯, 無論個waiter or waitress 都面黑黑, 冇笑容.

所以無論食物同服務, 係喺一間茶餐廳的水準以下. 但價錢就茶餐廳x3.

可是當天女朋友身體有點不適(想試試Pomodoro真一波三折呢!其實我勸過女朋友不如等病好後再吃,前車可鑑,女朋友當然不會聽了---詳情可參閱食評….)當天我接女朋友放工後就到了Pomodoro,我訂了7:30,當時餐廳只有幾枱食客,我們一到達就有位了,我和女朋坐了靠牆的二人枱。打開餐牌一看,全部是英文來的,我笑說不會英文,就交由女朋友發辦好了(女朋友身體抱恙,口味是難以猜度的)

女朋友叫了一個Spaghetti di Gragnano ai Frutti di Mare(Special Seafood Spaghetti with mix Shell Fish)及Risotto allo Zafferano e Funghi Porcini(Risotto with Saffron and Porcini Mushrooms)。

蕃茄多士及麵包

在食品來之前,侍應奉上了兩件蕃茄多士及一碟麵包,應該是作為Appetizer的吧!賣相相當漂亮,兩法經過烘焙的法包,上面鋪滿了切粒的蕃茄,蕃茄很新鮮,混了些橄欖油,很香很清新的味道,配上香脆的法包,配合得天依逢。非常醒神開胃。

麵包亦是法包,非常新鮮,外脆內軟,沾一些橄欖油一油一齊吃味道更佳(女朋友怕肥,什麼也沒沾,但仍然相當味美)

Spaghetti di Gragnano ai Frutti di Mare
(Special Seafood Spaghetti with mix Shell Fish)

意粉的賣相相當吸引,意粉配以鮮紅的蕃茄汁,賣相已經先聲奪人。看得到有很多海鮮,意粉煮的很好,軟硬度適中,很有質感,蝦的Size算大,新鮮爽口,吃得出蝦味;蜆亦相當大只,新鮮鮮甜。蕃茄汁調配的剛好,清新中帶濃郁的蕃茄味,味道自然(不會像一般茄汁配甜得太假或太酸)意粉及醬汁三者配合得宜,味道非常好(海鮮意粉一向用白汁會較為穩妥,但這個海鮮意粉配上茄汁,味道著實令人喜出望外呢!)

Risotto allo Zafferano e Funghi Porcini
(Risotto with Saffron and Porcini Mushrooms)

用上番紅花及牛肝菌菇這兩種頂級食材去燴意大利飯,而且對這兩種食材所知有限,的確更令人期待呢!(番紅花貴為「香料之后」,身價不菲,由於只採用雌性花蕊,每朵紫色的番紅花只有三個雌蕊柱頭,而且必須於日出前以人工採摘避免枯萎。大約要一萬五千朵番紅花才能收集到100g的雌蕊柱頭,每1g都要$50。不過番紅花幾乎沒有味道,但水浸後會釋出橙紅色,能為食物添加色彩,也能令佳餚的香味更勝一籌;雖然番紅花身價不菲,但優質的番紅花香料只要使用極微的份量即可。當中尤以西班牙產的最佳。)(牛肝菌菇亦是另一種頂級食材,通常生長在松樹、橡樹及栗樹下,小型的牛肝菌菇最適合烹調,口感柔滑細緻,略帶堅果香味及些許肉質的風味。)

說回意大利飯本身吧,賣相簡潔討好,香氣四溢,未吃已能嗅到陣陣的牛肝菌菇清香。嚐了一口,意大利飯煮得時間剛好,帶點黏稠,但還保有顆粒分明的口感。味道方面,吃到很清香的菌類味道,吞嚥過後香味仍在口腔內久久不散。那種菌類的清香非一般白菌所能比。可能這就是牛肝菌菇值錢的地方。至於那種蕩氣迴腸的味道是否添加了番紅花而產生的魔力,就真的不得而知了(有點牛嚼牡丹的感覺......汗)不過我覺得喜歡吃菌類的看官不妨一試,準不會失望的。

Mango Cheese Cake

女朋友吃飽後,心思思想試試這裡的蛋糕,其實店內近樓梯位置放了一個小小的透明蛋糕櫃,女朋友親自過去挑選,選了一件Mango Cheese Cake。Mango Cheese Cake上碟賣相非常吸引,不過Size就比一般蛋糕的略細一點。食味相當好,有非常濃郁的芒果味,而且蛋糕本身非常非常Cremay,Cheese與芒果的味道配合得宜,誰也沒搶了誰的鋒芒,非常好吃(我自己最喜歡吃Mousse Cake,因為這款蛋糕的質地很合我胃口)

終於來到這間意大利蕃茄吃晚飯了,裝修雅緻,碗碟都見到蕃茄的蹤影,就連枱布都是紅色格仔花紋,裝修可謂與店名相映成趣。食物水準甚高,而且份量適中,用料新鮮,食味非常不錯。價錢方面與Habitu Ristorante及trattoria NOBILDUCA接近,亦屬合理(女朋友都覺得食物水準高但略嫌價錢貴了一點,可能是受到Manago Cheese Cake影響吧,因為比正常蛋糕細的也要索價五十八個大洋......)店內食客不多,坐位亦見舒適,可以慢慢享用美食,實屬難得。和女朋友坐了一會,女朋友說想到Sogo買些家品,我們就此告別Pomodoro,亦是時候想想下個月和女朋友到那裡慶祝了呢!

Pomodoro is the more relaxed, sister restaurant to Pane & Vino on Mosque Street. I've never been to either but heard great things about Pane & Vino so decided to try Pomodoro for dinner. They seated our party downstairs because it looked like there was a private party upstairs. Downstairs was a bit crowded especially for a table of 5 and it was very loud, since the restaurant is on Hennessey Road which means it's we heard every passing bus.

Pomodoro is the more relaxed, sister restaurant to Pane & Vino on Mosque Street. I've never been to either but heard great things about Pane & Vino so decided to try Pomodoro for dinner. They seated our party downstairs because it looked like there was a private party upstairs. Downstairs was a bit crowded especially for a table of 5 and it was very loud, since the restaurant is on Hennessey Road which means it's we heard every passing bus. But no matter, we came for the food.

We wanted to order the baked cheese and ham and eggplant with mozzarella and tomatoes but both dishes were out. We were a little surprised that an Italian restaurant was out of mozzarella… But then again, they were out of 2 different types of wines also. For starters, we ordered the antipasti and fried calamari to share. The antipasti was very good, the marinated sourness provided a good beginning to the start of the meal. The plate consisted of sun dried tomato, grilled zucchini, sardines, roast beets, some corn, roast pumpkin but only 1-2 pieces of each. The fried calamari came with a spicy mariana sauce which was also a good starter but I would have preferred the calamaris a little less fried. All 5 of us ordered pastas for main and I have to say the restaurant did a very good job on all the pastas. I order linguine with seafood and squid ink. The pasta had a lot of seafood and squid ink provided a perfect sea taste to the pasta. My second favorite was the Bucatini which had more of a bite and came with a spicy tomato sauce.

Not sure if the waitress was new or just didn't speak English very well. We had to repeat our order numerous times, even after pointing to the menu. We ordered a bottle of wine with dessert but the wine was still not served after we finished the dessert so we had to cancel it.

Overall, the food is pretty good but don't expect great service and ambience.

-但無咩酒味,可以啦

5) 飲品
i) hot coffee
-都幾香,附上嘅奶都喺暖熱

ii) hot lemon water

oct 28, 08,2人嚟dinner,叫咗 :

1) 番茄多士+麵包 (免費)
-個多士幾脆,番茄混咗少少嘢,味道不錯
-個麵包(鬆軟)就配以"杰"身黑醋dressing,酸中有甜,咁樣配嚟食都幾好

2) 樽庒礦泉水
-又唔供應filter water,迫人叫水

3) blue mussel w/tomato & herb sauce
-呢個真喺要讚吓個廚師..............咁嘅質素都拎出比客食,雖要好大嘅勇氣............第2喺1個廚師用d咁嘅青口..............做得咁"渣"(細/無嘜肉哋,老,縮,唔鮮因料都唔多新鮮,但又未至於死貨),都確實唔易..............
-唔怪之得佢只喺賣$88/碟............初時我見到個價$$$都有d奇怪,imported b. mussel會咁平嘅,但我諗住細碟d啫..........無諗過會整成咁
-不如佢-少份量/+$$$$...........總之比番d唔欺場嘅貨式人食,要不然,懇請除牌

4) roasted baby pig
-先嚟呢個前菜..............有牛油豆,醃過嘅紅菜頭,菇同瓜
-友人唔多欣賞個紅菜頭,但我食落又無嘜怪味,都好正常
-個烤乳豬份量唔多,伴以薄身汁,我宜家諗諗吓有機會喺燒乳豬滴出喺嘅肉汁同肥油煮出嚟
-個皮薄,外脆,但呢種脆又帶d"un"喎,並非真正廣東燒豬嘅脆
-但個肉就真喺超嫩滑
-底就墊咗薯角,味道ok啦
-如果個皮喺真脆,會喺1度好出色嘅主菜

5) 1000層napoleon
-1cut落去就feel都有d危............因為個皮都唔脆,所以發唔到響聲
-個皮除咗唔脆之外(可能喺d cream整腍咗佢),幸好都有牛油味,質感喺1層層薄片
-個cream好滑同好cream呢,呢part的確唔錯,但咁多cream,食吓食吓都幾飽吓

6) tiramisu
-杯裝
-個cream部份多,又好滑,甜度比napoleon輕手,而蛋糕部份就偏少同濕,呢個好似喺杯裝tiramisu嘅

- 呢間餐廳喺1/2山pane vino嘅其下分支............所以我對佢某程度都有期望,但唔知我喺咪叫錯嘢.............所以我諗我會再嚟1次叫番正常嘅意大利薄餅同pasta............咁就可以嚟個全面嘅評估

I tried Pomodoro tonight!

Confirmed it's the same boss as Pane Vino as I saw the Italian 叔叔 around

Four of us, ordered:

Appetizer:
- Potato and Leek Soup (Daily Soup)
- Fried Calarmari

Pasta:
- Olive Oil and Garlic Spaghetti
- Vongole
- Grilled Egg plant with tomato sauce and mozzarella
- A type of special pasta (forgot the name, like penne but longer and thinner) in tomato sauce

Dessert:
- Napoleon
- Profiterole

General comments:
- Pasta dishes are all authentic, delightful and Al Dente. Just the pasta dishes itself are worth re-visiting this place!
- Profiterole so-so only ... 798&unit makes better profiteroles!

Personally I like the decoration at Pane Vino more as it's more rustic. But I guess Pomodoro is running in a different style thus the more casual setting ..

知道有間新開張既義大利餐廳所以過黎試試。未叫野食前侍應已奉上一碟麵包。熱辣辣的,應該係自製的。頭盤有沙律有湯有ANTIPASTA揀。主菜我地要左碟肉醬意粉同墨魚汁意粉,味到不錯!特別墨魚汁意粉唔係平時黑色一條條麵既墨汁意粉,係用新鮮自製的意粉配上秘製墨魚醬汁,味道帶少少辣,配上貝殼類海鮮,好惹味!呢度個甜品亦非常好味,除左有香港人好熟識既TIRAMISU之外仲有另幾款揀。有個我唔知叫咩名,但係用酥皮包住一層層既忌廉,咬一啖落去~ 嘩!正呀!甜甜既忌廉塞滿口既滿足感難以形容 真係食幾飽都一定要試個甜品!下次要試試肉類主菜!

Expanding business is a huge thing, no doubt about it. In the restaurant business everything is huge for the new locations -- the venue (is it tucked away in a small corner or is it out in the big roads!), the service (is it going to be as good as the old place), the food (is it up to par) and the competition you're going to face.

Expanding business is a huge thing, no doubt about it. In the restaurant business everything is huge for the new locations -- the venue (is it tucked away in a small corner or is it out in the big roads!), the service (is it going to be as good as the old place), the food (is it up to par) and the competition you're going to face. Plenty of thoughts and market research later you open a brand new place -- with brand new staff and everything bright and shiny. For a Wan Chai dweller like myself, seeing Pomodoro start from "opening soon" to "renovating" to "We're keeping our fingers crossed that we opened in two days!" (a comment made by one of the staff two days before opening). I patiently awaited the day that the giant tomato opened its doors to an enthusiastic foodie like myself. And then, it arrived.

Pomodoro, literally translated as "tomato" in Italian, makes no mistake with a fashion statement so clear you know you're in Italian territory -- red and white checked tablecloth, Andrea Bocelli on the music, and a buffet table with platters of dessert samples with a recognizable Torta della Nonna in it. The decor resembled of a Tuscan villa, rustic with elements of backyard garden and a sense of home. Italians have been famous for their hospitality, and Pomodoro does not fail to accomodate. A menu in Italian and English, the usual Italian dishes are there -- Antipasti starting from Caesar Salad with chicken ($38) to Mixed Antipasti Plate ($88) and Deep fried Calamari are all standard Italian Fare. Pasta are divided into three categories -- tomatoes, cream, and seafood. Secondi (Main courses) include the famous Osso Buco (Braised veal shanks). Reading the menu brought me back to visits to a dear friend's house where her Nonna (grandmother) made elaborate family meals for friends and family...

Nostalgia aside, I promptly decided on Mixed Antipasti Plate. While undecided on pasta, a burly Italian Man appeared and snatched my menu...I looked up, and a smile spread across his face as he asked my preference of tomatoes, cream, or seafood in a decided Italian accent...When I replied tomatoes, he yelled something in Italian into the kitchen. As he surrendered the menu back to my table, he offered that grin and a hand to shake -- Gianni, owner and chef of Pomodoro. "You MUST try our sausage pasta, with Bufala di Mozzarella!". He said in such enthusiasm I found it hard to decline. We talked about pasta, the restaurant (a sister shop of Mid-Level's "Panevino") and everything from Italian food to Italian music. Gianni is a generous man who fits into the hospitable concept of Italian stereotype. He made no mistake about it, and by that, I'll pay my respect to it.

The Antipasti Plate arrived promptly, as pictured here. On one serving the plate contained everything I recognized by the textbook -- marinated artichokes, Sundried tomatoes, Pepperonata (roasted bell peppers), Roasted Beetroots, Marinated Butter beans and a green salad in the middle. Dices of tomatoes and a glug of vinaigrette rounded out the plate, accompanied by a bread basket and a smaller plate of shaved Parmigiano Reggiano and anchovies. Pepperonata is fresh while Beetroots maintain more than just its sweetness, but also took on a light tang from the vinegar. Butter beans are as they are -- creamy while the artichokes and sundried tomatoes are of good quality. The bread is accompanied by your own serving of extra virgin olive oil and a home-made Aceto Balsamico -- so thick like oyster sauce, as made in the chef's recipe passed on to him by his grandfather. The balsamico is sweet and tangy at the same time and it has a fruity flavor to it. It's one of the best Balsamico I've tasted in years.

Sausage Pasta arrived beaming in fiery crimson blush of tomatoes. House-made fresh Rigatoni is cooked al dente, tossed lightly with a tomato sauce made with Italian sausage. The sauce is sweet and the sausage is slightly too salty for my taste. A light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese is just perfect for the pasta. I used to the last bit of the bread to mop the plate clean as I waited patiently for desserts. The dessert menu is composed of 10+ items of sweet indulgences, all priced at $58 apiece. You will find panna cotta, tangerine Sherbet, ice creams a fresh Napoleon and Profitorolio, aka a small cream puff tower. I meanly let the Tiramisu wowed me, and it didn't disappoint. Tiramisu is a generous serving for indulgence. A slab of thin coffee-soaked sponge cake topped with Mascarpone cream filling, then with Saviordi, or ladyfingers flavored deeply with espresso, and topped with some more Mascarpone cream. Dusted lightly with cocoa and the last dribble of homemade coffee sauce. I felt satisfied from neck down, but forking through this wonderful piece of Italian treasure I couldn't make an excuse to push the plate away. I know, from that moment, that the Tiramisu, will be the reason I'm back...(just wait till the pizzas hit the menu!

I called for the check, as they presented a complimentary shot of Limoncello -- the potent Italian Lemon liqueur. Limoncello may not be everyone's cup of tea but the golden concoction brings the sunny sensation that reminds me of a sunny Italian countryside, where people enjoy food and company like it comes naturally. The service in Pomodoro is attentive and the staff knowledgable. Be sure to swing by for a glimpse of Southern Italian Fare. I prefer the seating downstairs, but upstairs offers more privacy, and the bread kitchen is upstairs as well.. You wouldn't want to miss the breads here. You'll embrace your inner Italian here -- that you enjoy the company and the food altogether.
