My wife and I are both from London and this was our first trip back to Hong Kong since our family moved to the UK 30 years ago to celebrate our anniversary.A local friend of mine recommended Uno Duo Trio to me and so I booked a table for our anniversary dinner as a surprise to my wife.There is a special feeling about this place on first impression......this hidden gem was found following a short lift journey on the elevator. The unique decor and sophisticated vibe was exactly what I was looking
A local friend of mine recommended Uno Duo Trio to me and so I booked a table for our anniversary dinner as a surprise to my wife.
There is a special feeling about this place on first impression......this hidden gem was found following a short lift journey on the elevator. The unique decor and sophisticated vibe was exactly what I was looking for to celebrate our special night. It was rather different than any of the restaurant we visited during our trip, as it feels as though we are dining in a whole different place somewhere out in Europe.
Our server greeted us and filled us in with their special and we then order a bottle of wine to celebrate...everything you would expect from a good restaurant. We had the Osso Bucco, Lasagnette and Carpaccio of Scallop and Black Truffle, all of which were nicely presented and beautifully cooked. If I was to choose one dish out of the ones we had, it would have to be the Lasagnette as it was just exquisite, purely hand made and no other pasta tastes quite the same...
I happen to read the others' post about the waiting time. To be honest, we didn't find the pacing an issue at all and think that the exquisite food this little kitchen produces is definitely worth any wait. Besides the server has told us in advance that every dish was made to order to ensure the freshness and taste of the food, which is the most important in our opinion. Our dining time was around the average time we would spend in Europe anyways.
My wife and I have travelled around Italy many of times over the years, and we are just pleasantly surprised to have come across this restaurant as the taste and technique to create the food on our dishes reminded us of our holidays in Italy. There are few and far between Italian restaurants (that are affordable) in London that could produce what this little restaurant managed to achieve here......and it's bang in the middle of Hong Kong!
We would like to thanks the staff at Uno Duo Trio for a wonderful Italian experience on our special day.
