Cocktail Shots to Start off with -A lot of Italian shot cocktails were available here. Some were good but some seemed too toned-down..Grissini -Hong Kong people love soft bready Grissini. It is a sad truth but I guess each to their own until they try real grissini in Italy. To me Grissini bread sticks are always crisp and browned, not the bready type provided elsewhere. The ones here were good and well balanced. ~ 8/10.Beans in Cans -Seemed like Cannellini beans. Always welcomed..Beef

Grissini -Hong Kong people love soft bready Grissini. It is a sad truth but I guess each to their own until they try real grissini in Italy. To me Grissini bread sticks are always crisp and browned, not the bready type provided elsewhere. The ones here were good and well balanced. ~ 8/10
.
Beans in Cans -Seemed like Cannellini beans. Always welcomed.
.
Beef Skewers- For Aperitivo Hours, how can one complain? These were punching above its weight.. ~ 7/10
.
Meat Balls -I expected these to be some sort of Arancini balls or Suppli. Out came some meat balls. Better than Ikea definitely. ~ 7/10
.
Frittata -They look more like Spanish Tortilla though. But they tasted good enough. 8/10
.
Terrine with Vegetables -These were unexpected and rather pleasant. Considering these are available for a DIme. ~ 7/10
.
Chickpeas Salad -Balances and part of the Happy Hour deal. Encore.
.
Burrata with San Daniel Ham -Burrata cheese was super fresh and creamy and also affordable at under $100. San Daniele ham was sweet and not too salty and fresh. Who cares about overly cured and aged ham? ~ 9/10
.
Some Burger -Can't remember much of this.
.
Penette -WIth house made Sausage and Sun-dried Tomato Sauce. This was my favourite snack of the night, ti was packed with pork and tomato flavours. ~ 9/10
.
Gorgonzola and Black Truffle Risotto - $98The blue cheese slightly over-powered the black winter truffle but it was ok in the end. Everything was al dente enough and cooked well. ~ 7/10
