Good Italian, at a price

Tutto Bene is a solid Italian restaurant with good food, if not a little expensive. I was disappointed by the anti pasti - a signature dish, that lacked the variety I'm used to in the Stated. There was a crostini with pate (which was very bland), raw salmon (never seen that before), prosciutto and melon, mortadella and a salad. There was no cheese, olives, roasted peppers or mushrooms, but maybe that's normal here.The house wine was bad according to my wife and the lack of tap for water alway

Tutto Bene is a solid Italian restaurant with good food, if not a little expensive. I was disappointed by the anti pasti - a signature dish, that lacked the variety I'm used to in the Stated. There was a crostini with pate (which was very bland), raw salmon (never seen that before), prosciutto and melon, mortadella and a salad. There was no cheese, olives, roasted peppers or mushrooms, but maybe that's normal here.

The house wine was bad according to my wife and the lack of tap for water always annoys me. The bathrooms are also oddly situated and not entirely clean.

However, all that being said, the ambience on the patio was very nice. Our main courses were excellent! I had cannelloni which was very rich and satisfying. Kids had rigatoni a la vodka, which they devoured and wive have veal scaloppine which she loved. We did not have dessert, but did have a bottle of wine. I thought the wine list could use some more moderately priced bottles in the HKD250 range; there were none.

I would go back, but would stay with beer to keep the tab down.
