We were quite surprised to realize that this new restaurant, just 5 minutes walk away from where we live, is the Cinecitta that used to be on Star street in Wanchai. The staff confirmed that everyone moved, chef and al.

Quite a nice dining experience and certainly the best Italian option in Tai Kok Tsui, probably in the top 10 Italian options of what one can get in Kowloon as well. Let's hope that word-of-mouth can fill the place because there was not all that many people in the restaurant when we went.

Anyhow:
Artichokes, roman style. Quite nice.

Don't know where they source their Buffalo mozzarella but it is very, very good.

Freshly made pasta. Big difference. Nicely cooked and ever slightly chewy with a well balanced sauce.

The meat was tender, nice sauce. Accompanied with an al-dente rissoto which could have been creamier but that's really a matter of personnal preference at this point because the taste was there.

All and all, a great night and long live Cinecitta in Tai Kok Tsui! (crossing fingers)

Dinner for two, wine excluded was HKD $698. Wine by the glass is $60-80.
