Osteria Marzia is a charming Italian restaurant located at The Fleming, a boutique hotel in Wanchai. It boasts a retro yet stylist interior and a vibe that reminds one of an intimate trattoria in coastal Italy. The menu here revolves around seafood, though there are beef and chicken dishes as well. We ordered two seasonal porcini-themed dishes (hirame carpaccio and grilled scallops), a Boston lobster chitarra, a seabass aqua pazza, grilled veggies, and a rum baba and hazelnut gelato as desserts. All dishes were good, but highlight was definitely the signature seabass aqua pazza. They actually have an array of market fish & seafood to choose from, as well as different cooking styles/sauces. The seabass was $788 so a bit expensive, but it was large enough to share among 3-4 people. The fish was first grilled to perfection then simmered in a tomato-based broth with clams. The fish meat was juicy and fresh, with an intense yet delicate natural sweetness that was really quite impressive and which isn't always guaranteed even at high-end restaurants. I should also mention that they have really smooth freshly churned gelato that one wouldn't want to miss. It was a wholly enjoyable meal and we had a great time dining here. They are changing up the seasonal specials soon and we will be sure to revisit.
