去年年尾聽人話 Cinecitta 換了個手勢不錯的廚師 Patricio, 年頭咁啱係附近做了點事, 經過這邊看過餐牌好像食得過就拍板走了入去試試. 有食友可能會質疑食個午餐, 是食不出真偽的. 其實這樣說也不無道理, 我都經常掛在口邊. 但如果基本功夫都做唔到的話, 晚上就好極都有限也是真的. 其實西餐算係好少少的了, 例如在來這之前剛剛食過的 Otto e Mezzo, Robuchon L'Atelier, 其實中午同晚上水準都幾接近. 日本菜就比較上大分別得多了!中午有的 Business Lunch Menu, 價錢不算貴但食足 3 Courses 也要 $308, 但看清楚原來其實不包甜品或咖啡茶 (+$58). 再加加埋, 其實會同以上兩星店一樣價錢, 唯獨水準就未別是那卡士回事.先來個 Bread Basket. 有三款, 其實不錯的. 不知有沒有發覺, 好多香港的意大利餐廳嘅麵包籃看落也很似, 但要真正食落去口才會知味道如何. 這裡的是 pass 的, 但離好食就還差了些距離.

Washington Beef Carpaccio Cipriani. This was just a complete joke. The carpaccio weren't sliced on a machine but seemed like hand-beaten, as a nice gesture - but the beef were hammered so thin they stuck to the plate like it would too on your forehead! Picking it up with the fork or knife broke it into tiny beef flakes. Worst comes to worst, the beef was weak in flavour but this was drowned in Olive Oil. The parmesan cheese in contrast, were sliced way too thick to complement the beef. These small attention to details or lack of in an Italian Restaurant is often what make or break a restaurant's reputation! 3/10
Saffron Spaghetti with Lobster, Citrus Sauce. This turned out very different to what I had in mind. The colour might be there, but there is no saffron fragrance at all (not even fake ones! I should have stolen 208's saffron ice cream and insert a scoop on here! ) Worse still, the so called citrus sauce turned out to be plain cream which tasted nothing but cream, no citrus, no shellfish essence, with very little lobster pieces nor taste. If I had wanted a creamy pasta of this quality, I could have gone to some HK Chef Italian restaurants or even Japanese fast food chains like Te Spaghetti and Saizeriya. This didn't taste bad, mind you, it just doesn't belong in a real deal Italian restaurant. At least the commercial pasta is al dente, same as Te ! 4/10
Environment and Seating Arrangements is great here however, so is the attentive service! ***************************
I was going to order the Supplementary Lunch Dessert + Coffee for $58, but it turned out to be just a tiny pyramidal shaped chocolate mousse. What's the point of ordering that? I'll rather go to 7-11 and buy a 鳳仙 or HD Crispy Sandwich and get more satisfaction out of it!
