This new eatery at Tai Kwun is a great place for some good, affordable pasta on a weekend afternoon! The restaurant has an al fresco dining area with a view of the open courtyard as well as indoor seats, and we went for the outdoor area which was well shaded and comfortable. The food here is very reasonably priced. The two pastas we had, the truffle tagliatelle and the tomato and mozzarella paccheri were delightful. The truffle tagliatelle was made of fresh pasta and was extremely fragrant. My boyfriend thought it could be more al dente but I thought it was just right and had a nice springy texture. The paccheri was made of dry pasta and was definitely more firm, but the amount of mozzarella could have been more generous. The main course of chicken with Parma ham, smoked scarmoza and black truffle paste was just alright, the chicken breast wasn't very juicy but tasted just fine. The desserts were also delicious. We had the "modern" tiramisu and the lemon and yuzu sponge cake. The tiramisu had chocolate brownies in it rather than lady fingers and contained a shot of espresso at the bottom, which was an interesting takd on the classic that did not completely overturn its essence. The lemon and yuzu sponge cake was more of a surprise. I'm not normally a big fan of lemon-flavoured desserts but I loved this one as the cake was moist and dense and had just the right hint of citrus flavour. Overall a very nice casual dining experience and would definitely return.
