There are two parts to this snug little Italian Deli along Hennessey Road in Wan Chai - the ground floor deli where you can get cold cuts, desserts and Italian spices and seasonings; and the second floor where you can order and eat food. The dining area is teeny-tiny though so I suggest calling ahead of time and making a reservation.I loved how the 2nd floor dining section looked like a supermarket aisle with rows upon rows of wine and spices and condiments.We started off with a Classic Cesar Sa
I loved how the 2nd floor dining section looked like a supermarket aisle with rows upon rows of wine and spices and condiments.
We started off with a Classic Cesar Salad which was alright. I mean, it's Cesar Salad. How can you go wrong with something as classic as a Cesar Salad, right?
I liked how the leaves were fresh and crunchy to the bite, the cheese very thinly sliced and does not stick to the roof of my mouth or the sides of my cheeks when eaten. The bacon bits were crunchy and were just the right amount of salty.Then we got the 3-Types of Cold Cuts platter which came in two plates. One plate contained Salami and (regular) Ham and the second plate contained Parma Ham.
I loved the parma ham! It wasn't too salty and it sort of just melts in your mouth. And I loved the stuffed olives that came with the cold cuts too.
Biting into a stuffed olive wrapped with a slice of parma ham was heavenly. It was a delectable mixture of salty and sour at the same time.We also ordered a panini which was just okay. It was good, but it wasn't spectacularly good. I can't even remember what was in it anymore.
Then dessert. We had Tiramisu and Torta Della Nonna.
The Tiramisu was inconsistently good. There were parts of it that was just wonderfully yummy and yet, I had some spoonfuls that felt like eating wet, soggy sponge. The Torta was a lemony pie/tart/cake that was wonderful. It was more sour than sweet, which felt and tasted like a good way to cap off my dinner.I'd probably come back if only for the Parma Ham and Stuffed Olives.
