Al dento soho offers simple Italian cuisine. The décor is cozy and homely. The menu showcases traditional Italian dishes, pasta, pizza to grilled dishes. It is a great atmosphere to enjoy a meal with friends. Perhaps maybe the layout of the restaurant, the tables are slightly crowded and the staffs hardly see diners needed services.

Baby lamb char-grilled and served with rosemary garlic mash with a red wine mint sauce (5/10)
The lamb was cook to perfection, medium, pink. The lamb was full of flavour, yet tender and fairly seasoned. The red wine mint sauce was surprisingly good, never imagine that mint would go with red. However the mash was rather rubbery, very typical in Hong Kong.
Seafood Cioppino (2/10) This is a America famous’ Italian tomato base stewed with mixed seafood (King prawns, clams, mussels, scallop and clay fish). The base was sweet and delicate, infused well with the mixed seafood. However, the mixed seafood was frozen, not like the menu suggested – mixed seafood of the day. Hence, the dish lacked freshness, which was the most important secret to the success of Cioppino. We hardly finished the dish.
If you look at the menu, you would think they are rather pretentious. Words they use are annoying, cooked to perfection, full flavoured, grilled to your liking. Maybe is not, but not my thing. The food is genuinely good, which fit well with its price, definitely worth going.Give me a thumbs up if you like it!
