I have previously tried to book this restaurant twice but it was full house, as I admit I only booked on the same day. I guess with good restaurants you should book beforehand. Luckily tonight I got a table as we are having a late dinner (9 pm) and must say it was worth my persistence to get a table at this restaurant. Before ordering, the waitress already served us some warm bread with olive oil and balsmic vinegar. Good service and the bread tasted fresh and soft. For antipasti, I had Pepper D

I have previously tried to book this restaurant twice but it was full house, as I admit I only booked on the same day. I guess with good restaurants you should book beforehand. Luckily tonight I got a table as we are having a late dinner (9 pm) and must say it was worth my persistence to get a table at this restaurant. Before ordering, the waitress already served us some warm bread with olive oil and balsmic vinegar. Good service and the bread tasted fresh and soft. For antipasti, I had Pepper Dew and Queen Olives. The pepper dew was stuffed with goat cheese. Normally I don't like goat cheese, but this one was creamy and mild and went perfect with those tiny peppers with the size of cherry tomatoes. The queen olive was crunchy and not too soft and salty like many other olives. So I was glad I have a good start to my dinner. All so perfect to go with my red wine, Aldegheri Sengia Rossa. For starters, we ordered Crispy Squid, and the little surprise that came with it, was the crispy pickled gherkins that came with it. The squid was fried perfectly, crispy but not oily, and the tomato sauce for dipping has a slight spice to it. For mains, we went for the Baked Mostaccioli, a moustache shaped pasta served with meat balls & sausages in a tomato sauce and a Veal Scalloppine el Marsala, veal with wild mushrooms, shallots and marsala wine sauce. The Baked Mostaccioli is a hearty meal, perfect for an eveining after a few drinks ( you won't feel drunk after it ) and the veal is a generous serving of two perfect veal scallops, with a brown sauce fragrant with mushroom. Usually the mushroom sauces I had before were creamy and this variation with wine and mushroom is much better as it is not as heavy. For dessert, I finished off dinner with gelati with limoncello. Liqueur with ice cream has always been my favourite but unfortunatey in Hong Kong, not many restaurants serve this, so I am glad I found this place! Overall a delightful meal and definitely worth the effort to make a booking in advance!
Other Info. :
Good service, nice decor, good atmosphere, and great food. Good for dinner for two or a party.
