Lupa is Mario Batali’s venture in Hong Kong. You might be familiar with him if you watch Iron Chef. They have a wide range of pizza, pasta and main to choose from, price ranges in HKD 200-350. They also offer an extensive wine collection.LUPA saladWe shared a LUPA salad - Mixed Green Salad with Citrus, Parmigiano and Balsamic Vinegar (HKD 138) Hard to comment on a salad, it was fresh and portion was quite generous.Tonnarelli AI GranchioTonnarelli AI Granchio - House Made Square Spaghetti with Sp
LUPA saladWe shared a LUPA salad - Mixed Green Salad with Citrus, Parmigiano and Balsamic Vinegar (HKD 138) Hard to comment on a salad, it was fresh and portion was quite generous.
Tonnarelli AI GranchioTonnarelli AI Granchio - House Made Square Spaghetti with Spicy Crab and Fennel (HKD 238)
When it says ‘square’ I was imaging square sheets of pasta, it turned out to be normal flattened spaghetti. The egg pasta was surely homemade, it tasted more like Chinese yi mein to me. It’s a bit overdone and was all clumped together and soggy.
PolpettePolpette - Meatballs, Tomato, Mozzarella, Basil (HKD 188)
We wanted meatballs and we got small bits of minced meat. It was thin crust but it was already all soggy when I came to the table. Given that meat was quite scarce like but it was lacking salt.
Delizia Alle Perre Delizia Alle Perre - Pear crumble with pear sorbet (HKD 88)
Pear sorbet on top was refreshing. The crumble has a tart base which I found quite weird. Although 2/3 of the dish was crumble or tart, I still found the pear filling sweet.
The whole meal was quite a disappointment. Without the Super Monday offer. Instead of exploiting their fame, celebrity chefs should really be putting more emphasizes on food.
