This Italian restaurant is located within Shangri-la Kowloon. Their website shows four versions of 4-course set lunch, using a region in Italy to denote it’s difference, namely, Veneto, Campania, Puglia and Umbria. How the food listed on the menu relates to the stated region is not that apparent though. The waitress there explained that they offered different set lunch menu for different week of the month. This is great as it shows the chef cares about giving their clients varieties and differen
The restaurant is not big but we did not feel cramped from where we were seating and the place offers a relaxing and quiet environment. We were efficiently served with face masks holders, bread basket etc once seated.
The 4-course set lunch menu available on that day was “Umbria” priced at $398+10% service charge.
I chose the following from the menu:
Mesclum salad, smoked tuna and citronette - the salad is light and refreshing and it balanced the smoky tuna nicely
La Zuppa is green pea soup
Bucatini Amatriciana- bucatini is a thick spaghetti lookalike pasta but with a hole running through the centre. The pasta is al dente and the Amatriciana sauce is delicious. Restaurants in HK tend to “over cooked” the pasta to suit local tastes and it’s great to find one that can cook it as it should be.
Torta is Napoleon cake- nice and not sweet
Tea and coffee is included in the price of the 4 course meal and I had tea. They charge $78 though for bottle of sparkling water that we ordered.
