I once read someone's blog post claiming that Classified had the best pasta in and about Sheung Wan, so in the back of my mind I filed it as a go-to next time I got a pasta craving. Here's my report.First, the spaghetti and meatballs. I like classic, and this is often what I order when I first go to a place for pasta.

First, the spaghetti and meatballs. I like classic, and this is often what I order when I first go to a place for pasta. The spaghetti was al dente, just about perfectly cooked in my mind. The total amount of sauce was very small, far less than I'd have desired. The meatballs were OK-- I definitely prefer the ones at Linguini Fini. The worst aspect of the dish was that it wasn't hot, or even very warm. C
Macaroni and four cheeses: I'm a huge mac & cheese fan (btw, the best I've found so far in HK is at the Canny Man). This dish was actually hot. The inside was good-- not excellent but above average. They put quite a bit of cracker crumbs or something like it on top, and then cooked it in such a way that it more or less had a cracker disk on top. It was a little too crunchy, I think, for what I wanted. B-I don't know why exactly, but I never feel entirely comfortable at Classified. I don't think I'm cool or trendy or hipster enough. Something like that. And they seem to have regulars, which always makes me feel even less legitimate.
Anyway, I'm far less likely to come back now that I've disproven (to my own satisfaction) the thesis that they've got the best pasta in town.
