Trattoria Piccolo (Closed)

呢間 trattoria piccolo之前睇過介紹之後一直都好有興趣試, 意粉同pizza都係高質必試項目, 而且價錢非常合理, 餐廳裝潢同氣氛亦非常適合情侶或者朋友約食飯.Hamachi Crudo $108油金魚刺身片配搭煙燻雅支竹同海露荀, 入口時油金魚肉伴隨滿滿橄欖油香, 加埋調味過既雅支竹, 微酸中帶有小許煙燻味, 係非常開胃既前菜. Bolognese Caserecce $148牛肉醬手捲粉, 比起往常食既肉醬意粉, 呢度既肉醬偏向甜味較多唔會過酸, 而手捲粉硬度亦適中. Chicken pesto fettucine $145非常推薦呢個雞肉青醬闊條麵, 每一啖都有滿滿羅勒香同橄欖油香, 雞肉雖然未算嫩滑, 但配合埋醬汁整體成個意粉都非常好食. Meat Lovers $168係等緊朋友嚟同等緊野食上枱既時候, 其實都不斷見到有人外賣佢地既pizza, 果然pizza就係其中一個今餐飯裡面最出色既菜式. 餅底夠煙韌有咬勁,同時薄餅邊又夠酥脆, 餡料亦夠多, 非常推薦. continue reading

- ¨̮♡︎ We were looking for a nice restaurant to spend our friday night. This restaurant has been added to my to-go list for awhile. Recommended it to my friends and they were interested to try too so I immediately made a reservation through Openrice. Arrived at 18:15, we were the only table of customers. Interior decors are mainly in blue, white and yellow color. Love its authentic vibe, those potted plants made me feel like I was dining in a little foreign garden. We ordered arancini, hamichi crudo, bolognese caserecce and funghi and truffles pizza to share. Arancini was served with marinara sauce. It was fried hot and golden, could try layers of flavour and texture when I bite into it. First came the crispy outer layer, then the creamy risotto and finally the center of melted cheese👍🏻Next came the Hamachi Crudo, it was served with smoked artichoke and sea asparagus. Hamachi was sliced thin and dressed in vinaigrette. It was tangy and salty, quite appetising but it left some fishy aftertaste to my mouth🐟🫢 Then we moved on to the bolognese caserecce. Pasta's texture was a bit too soft for me and meat sauce was on a sweeter side, just not my cup of tea. Portion wasn't big but we couldn't finish the whole plate😐Funghi and truffle pizza was the star of tonight. It was the thin-crust type of pizza, crust was crispy on side. Freshly baked and I could smell the strong truffle aroma when it came to table🤤 The food didn't fill us up at this point so we added on a vegeterian pizza. It wasn't as good as the truffle one, not bad but not remarkableOverall, it was a tiny cozy restaurant with average food quality. The only downside is that they have a 90 minutes dining time limit. The staff kept standing behind our table and told us to mind the time. I felt quite uncomfortable as they kept rushing us to finish our food and leave😕 continue reading

This restaurant has been bookmarked for long and accidentally realising having the same bookmarked restaurant of my friend's wish to go list, ending up spending our happy Friday evening at it. Restaurant had a vintage Rome design, with their representative arch door and also in between the dining area and the kitchen. Light blue and yellow wall paint were such a calming design. Fake plants have been placing along the seating side way which gave a sense of vibrancy. Along with the pop music with occasional remix songs, that was exactly how a Friday night should be felt.Staff were nice, greeting us friendly and efficiently serving us. Under such stuffy hot weather, it was thoughtful serving us cold water. And staff even recommending their signature dishes. It was a welcoming start. For starters, we asked for arancini and hamachi crudo. Requested a funghi and truffle pizza and a bolognese caeserecce. Hamachi crudo came first. Majority fish slices were in uniform shape. Not too thick and drizzled with extra virgin oil. Not as fresh as I hope it could be. But good to be easily cut. Olive oil didn't give that aroma kick. Artichokes were bland and sea asparagus was expected to give some freshness although they might be tiny. Arancini were served in four servings. Crispy battered risotto stuffing was indulgent. Risotto rice were cooked perfectly. Parma pieces were visually stuffed. And this gave a hint of porky flavour. It seems a heavy dish but paired with the marinara, the tanginess balanced well. Not bad.Moving on to the most disappointing dish of tonight, which was also the staff recommendation....Bolognese pasta dish was supposed to be an Italian classic. Every Italian restaurant shall have their own bolognese sauce which their customers are dying for. Sadly, the one we enjoyed wasn't given us such authenticity. Bolognese was pretty wet. It was on a sweet side but no acidity. Description from the menu was served with chunky vegetables but no vegetables could be visually seen or tasted; maybe just the topped parsley. Minced were in generous amount but few of my bites were chewy that barely eatable. Caeserecce pasta was over cooked. Soft and couldn't even hold the sauce (which mostly is the reason of runny bolognese). We just gave up this dish to save our stomach for more goodness. Next was the aromatic funghi and truffle pizza. You could tell it's ready from the kitchen just by its truffle smell. When it was served on the table, you could tell this possibly would be one of the better dishes tonight. Crust edge was risen perfectly with some burnt mark. Looks like from the stone made oven. Pizza dough was thin and crispy. Freshly made and serving hot. Truffled cheesy plus umami mushroom bites. It would be even nicer if it was loaded with variety mushrooms.After finishing the whole pizza, we didn't even feel full yet, ending up we added one more pizza, vegetarian. Another regret of tonight. I ordered this because of their description, a combo of Italian classic ingredients, artichokes, aubergines and zucchini. To be honest, I could barely see, find and taste a piece of artichoke in the whole pizza. Aubergine and zucchini were in paper thin slices. Mushroom slices were again too thin. Barely taste their own flavour as covered by the sweetness of the bell peppers and the marinara. Not much cheese had been topped. This was why no pulling cheese or no gooey texture had been tasted. All in all, tasted like a 'supreme' pizza in a vegetarian style that could be easily purchased out there.Apart from the food I would like to comment, service was a bit odd that I had no doubt to share. Service in the beginning was pretty warming and staff were efficient and helpful. Always taking our cleared food plates with no pressure and refill icy cold water all the time. Nevertheless, throughout my reservation and confirm booking call, no staff reminded the dining time was only 90 minutes. Even when we were walking in the restaurant, the greeting staff didn't mention anything. After we just served our first pizza which was our 4th dish, the staff suddenly came saying we have to finish our meal by 1930 while it was 1905. After the reminder, she still asked nicely if we would like to add anything else. Well, indeed we wanted so as the sad pasta didn't feel us up. We added the second pasta. The staff was smiling when facing us after giving the order but rolled eyes behind our back. I was immediately on fire. Honestly, if you were rushing the table, you shouldn't ask if we would like anything else. And if you asked so, you should expect extra food. Anyhow, when we were eating the second pizza, one staff was standing in front of the table in a close distance, watching us eating while keep checking her watch. Odd and come on, giving us some pressure, huh? Some staff suddenly rushed to prepare the table next to us at 1925. I guess to prepare the table reserved at 1930. Customers indeed showed up on time and were seated beside. When we were consuming the last piece of pizza, staff came to ask if we want any dessert and remind us we had only 5 minutes left. We were literally in shocked. Seriously thinking it is possible to serve us a dessert within 5 minutes plus our eating time? Just enough, we asked for the bill and return your table on time as you wish. No goodbye from staff and I don't want this experience again anymore and anyway. continue reading
