This was sort of a first time for me to go to one of these expensive fancy Italian restaurants in Hong Kong. I had been told that it used to be a busy little restaurant, but over the years it's popularity largely decreased. Service was very good as we were the first customers that night and the waitresses were not occupied.We were a table of 7, but we tried to order less as the dishes were quite expensive. For starters, we got some bruschetta, which was complimentary. Then, we ordered a special
We were a table of 7, but we tried to order less as the dishes were quite expensive. For starters, we got some bruschetta, which was complimentary. Then, we ordered a special that the waitress introduced to us, which was like a big deep fried cheese ball served with a spicy tomato salsa. The cheese wasn't completely melted but it was nice and gooey inside. For mains, we had a Squid Ink Risotto, a Penne Carbonara, the Risotto Margherita and a Seafood Spaghetti. Portions were a bit small at the first look but we were all quite full at the end of the meal. Lastly for dessert, we tried the Apple Strudel with Vanilla Icecream and the Tiramisu. The strudel was quite nice although I would have preferred it to be in a different shape to get even bites of apple to pastry.
Overall, the food and service was quite good but you have to be prepared to pay for the small dishes. Throughout the night, there were only 3 tables seated, with around 15 customers in total, so the atmosphere can be a little awkward. However, I would say that the food wasn't exceptional although they are charging like Italian restaurants, which is something I think could be improved on. For an average person, the food isn't bad but someone with higher standards should probably look for something else.
