208 Duecento Otto (已結業)

這晚與朋友來到上環荷李活道上的208 Duocento Otto，吃頓輕輕鬆鬆的意大利菜。208 Duocento Otto佔地2層。地下層是氣氛熱鬧的酒吧區，飲品以外亦有供應小食。知道這裡的雞尾酒向來出色，大家就先在樓下酒吧邊飲杯雞尾酒、邊等齊朋友，之後才一齊上位於1樓的餐廳部份。我選了杯調酒師James Barker在Diageo World Class Hong Kong Bartender of 2016的得獎雞尾酒 Oh Beehive ($110) 。以Ketel One vodka加上薰衣草、蜂蜜、果醬、香橙和蜂花粉等調配，入口蜂蜜橙香相當清香順喉、兼帶淡淡薰衣草幽香，我很喜歡這杯Oh Beehive。對著街景飲杯雞尾酒，感覺真寫意。之後大家到位於樓上的餐廳。翻翻menu，選擇真多。不過除了自選單點菜式外，原來208 Duocento Otto也有2款tasting menu - 6道菜的Mamma Mia，每位$408 以及8道菜的Nonna，每位$588。Tasting menu最適合當人數不多時，也可以多吃幾款不同菜式，加上大家又無需擔心點菜時會選擇困難症發作 XD

I have been here few times before but surely the last was the worse...I think the chef doesn't have any idea about Italian food, beside the traditional dishes such as Bolognese pasta (also not really good) the menu is really very standard and not real Italian.I'm a food lover and I go out for dinner everyday and 99% I eat Italian food, beside beign crazy expensive the food here is similar to a hotel buffet, for the same price I can eat to Michelin star restaurant where the food is real Italian a

208 is a rustic New York-style Italian restaurant where you can rely on to get good food and have a great time for a reasonable price. My first visit was several years ago when J took me here for my birthday and we were impressed with the Neapolitan pizza which are made in a custom pizza oven from Italy so we came back to try the revamped menu at the lively bar area recently. We started the night with some aperitivo - J went for the classic Negroni with Beefeater gin and olive while I chose the

Hollywood road is a popular destination for Brunch, with a mix of old and contemporary vibes. 208, located at the end of hollywood road, has both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a perfect spot to relax with friends, have brunch or have a casual meeting. It also has a free-flow champagne weekend brunch, which caught my eye.On a Saturday, Me and my friend decided to try 208's brunch. We were quickly seated inside (as it was raining) and given a wooden clip board, which was the menu. We ordered a

第二次來 208 Duecento Otto。在旁沒有時鐘停車場 而地鐵站亦非近在咫尺，地點有少少不便。仍值得來，因 吃得滿意滿足。薄身的 margarita pizza, parpadelle, 外脆內暖的  煎過的薯仔，海鮮配 帶丁點兒硬身的risotto, calzone, fried calamari , 每一樣都是水準之上。不便宜但 味道猶勝酒店的意大利餐。

友人終於完成為期2個月的實習，當然要同佢慶祝一番。選擇左上環荷里活道既208 Duecento Otto, 其實早於2個月前受邀去過佢地既anniversary party，食過幾片Pizza同Parma ham，印象深刻。銅色既外牆，非常搶眼，友人話配以藍白色既中國風磁磚，好靚好獨特！今次幸運地坐左係2樓dinning區域既窗邊位置，比樓下bar area寧靜一啲，卻不失輕鬆既氣氛。是晚以Prosciutto di Parma開始，24個月既Parma ham不會過咸亦不會膩，配以當晚自己帶去的意大利Campania-Greco di Tufo，簡直係最佳拍檔。沒有再點其他前菜，因為同友人都食左下午茶，再點怕會浪費食物😅緊接而來，就係我地點既2個主菜208 Fettuccine all'AragostaPappardelle Wagyu Bolognese選擇先食Bolognese，比較輕身和酸度較高。一向中意食Bolognese，208選擇用和牛作為肉醬配以Pappardelle（是一種比正常寬條麵更寬既寬帶麵），口感非常夾，味道濃郁卻唔膩。再配上24個月既Parmesan，很不錯

今日同事生日，也是我們在上環的日子越來越少，所以我們都希望會找到不同類型的餐廳食。今次我地同事選擇了一間離公司都15分鐘左右路程的餐廳。 我地一行13人坐在2樓一個長桌上。待應很快給了水和set lunch 我地選擇。有2道或3道午餐SET，最後我地都選擇了3道菜，而待應都好貼心寫每位同記下每個位置，等方便一陣上菜。而點完菜後每人有一塊類似多士的三角形 包，附上醋和油。但是三角形包太硬，反而吸收不到醋和油的味道。前菜有湯，沙律選擇。最後大多是選擇沙律和三文魚。沙律份量好多，新鮮菜同旦加醬汁味道吾錯，而三文魚好薄身君上菜和牛油果，加多少少青檸汁一起 食的話沒想到咁好味道。牛扒之前已經叫左5成熟，但是都是肉質偏硬同份量少，有點失望。但幸好薯仔好味道，有少少甜味同薯仔剛好熟仲有口感而吾爛。薄餅超大件，但原來好薄身好脆口，用料都好多，芝士都好香。之後有幾款甜品選擇。上方有泡泡的咖啡凍，少少咖啡味加上泡泡，味道幾清而有口感。莓雪芭味道清新加上少許芒果肉可以消滯。最後加多杯飲品咖啡或茶來個總結。每人大約＄270，價錢以午餐來說都偏貴，但質素普通（各同事都講），本人因為食牛扒原因，見到硬到咁真係失

荷里活道，208號，Duecento Otto是想要在上環來個悠閒lunch的好地步可愛的藍白牆磚彷彿將你帶到地中海的國度開放式的門面遠遠就能看到酒吧桌上的一列Antipasto款式不多但也算剛好反正有沙津和Grilled vege已湊夠數而且Assorted Ham亦算有質素忘了拍照下次再補Main 點了個 eggplant pizza 有驚喜度餅皮焗得香脆而且有點煙靭度Mussles Pasta 樣靚期望高可惜食落咸味太過度食飽飽嘆埋壺靚茶才算最好喜歡店家有在細節上用心做好服務生亦欣勤周到如果時間充裕來嘆個Lunch確幾好忙裡要懂偷個閒才是正道

同好友慢步上環未諗到食咩既時候，突然就見到以前有留意過既208不過就係覺得佢地理位置幾遠，所以一直都冇去試既然難得碰巧遇上．順便就一試了XD環境裝修幾吸睛，牆壁既設計好似青花瓷，甚富中國特色仲要有少少九十年代，稍為復古既感覺座位隔得算開，坐落鬆動同埋有少少私隱Menu有多款選擇，午餐Antipasti Buffet由$108+10%起加Pasta加$10+10%，加Pizza則另加$20+10%除semi-buffet，仲有單點既選擇但價錢相差不遠，我地就揀左Antipasti Buffet+Pizza甜椒味道清甜爽口，溫和不過激稔身易嚼得黎唔係淋爛，食落都唔覺油膩蘑菇好重菇味，但唔會苦口，反而係幾香又幾爽脆既不過我覺得油左少少，感覺冇咁清新烤南瓜片切得薄薄，色彩橙黃色感覺幾吸引質感係爽口，唔係稔身爛茸茸咁味道都特別既，唔只係南瓜既甜香，仲有少許既鹹味令佢唔會過膩烤過後既焦痕，帶點焦香，更添美味椰菜花稔身但仲保有少許脆度，纖維不韌，易嚼又不會黏在牙縫但對我黎講都係有少少油膩感，特別係椰菜花都算吸汁吸油既Parma Ham薄而乾身，仲有少少脆口鹹度偏高既，但薄身又唔太油膩，唔會好難入口魷

這段日子不好過，這晚就決定跟友人來到中環的208 Duecento Otto，放鬆一下緊張情緒208，就是餐廳的街號，好像有點遠，其實沿上環港鐵站一路上，不消十五分鐘，又或從中環行人電梯去到荷李活道一路往上環方向走，一點也不費勁~Tartar di Manzobeef tartar, quail egg, red chard, parmesan cream生牛肉他他一向是十分喜愛的菜式紅紅的牛肉上加一隻鵪鶉蛋，賣相吸引入口肉味香濃，蛋味亦濃郁牛肉嫩而不韌，十分新鮮，配牛皮菜及巴馬臣芝士，更添味道層次薄餅也是這裡的主打，不可不試，這晚便試了當中的兩款Prosciutto e Rucolamozzarella, cherry tomato, rocket, parma ham, scamorza (Cheese base)這裡的薄餅，走的是意大利拿玻里的路線質感會比美式的鬆軟，也會較之少一點膩滯感以較傳統的薄餅配料，加入車厘茄,火箭菜菜,巴拿馬火腿，還有水牛芝士和scamorza芝士味道豐富，濕潤的口感，令大家吃得開懷Linguine Posillipomanila clams, cher

I have been to 208 Duecento Otto twice, and both were for private dinning. Their private dinning room is decorated with a wall of wines and a big square wooden table. For private dinning in Hong Kong, this room has a very reasonable minimum spending of $4000 hkd for dinner over weekend. I would definitely recommend as a venue for your birthday or gatherings.Chef recommended platter- nothing really special about it. But they are all high quality ham and salami.Calamari Fritto Misto - fried calama

Delicious everything. Charming waiters. Everything we ordered was amazing, especially the seafood pasta, could be one of the most delicious in Hong Kong. Highly recommend it. The decor is almost like in Soho New York, very cosmopolitan and professional. Bravo!

路過幾次看到環境不錯已經很想試，終於訂了位來吃brunch。被安排了坐近門口半室外的位置，可能店內冷氣充足，坐近室外但一點不熱，望著行人來來往往感覺很不錯。朋友點了free flow prosecco（至3pm） $250，我點了smoothies 每杯才$60 (funky monkey & bugs bunny)，感覺新鮮消暑。早餐份量不算大，或我們實在太餓，吃完還叫了龍蝦闊麵，比早餐好吃。之後還吃了甜品，Lemon Tart不太甜不太酸剛剛好。總體來說吃一個完整的午餐質素應該比brunch好。

近期每星期都要到上環两次，直到四月底。我希望藉此機會享受獨個兒的一些午膳時間，嘗試一下個人的用膳。去細心感受厨師的食物、餐廳的環境和服務，一樂也。回到這頓沙律午餐，當然先說用料。爽脆新鮮的沙律菜、羅勒洋蔥的提味混入水份充足的蕃茄、厚肉清甜細黄甜椒、入口軟綿不糊口的新薯沙律、薄切的葫蘆南瓜以甜醋點綴，滿足了今天想要一餐沙律素食的要求。另外他們還有八爪魚沙律和三款cold cut,但我想食素的關係没有品嚐。飽食两碟沙律後，嘆了一杯充滿咖啡油脂的黑咖啡後十分滿足。唯一感到不足之處是餐廳的麵包只是一般，希望他們在晚餐時間有所不同。餐廳的環境、服務也不錯，總體來說，107元的沙律自助午餐是一份十分之享受和值得的午餐。下次要試試他們的熱盆。

My cousins and sister had some business to take care of in Sheng Wan, so I joined them for brunch after they were done.  Environment, Service & Hygiene:We were seated by the door at first, but because it was so cold and wet that we asked if we could be seated elsewhere. Without a problem, the person in charge reseated us to the second floor, which was very warm, but noisy compared to the tranquility we had downstairs.   It was so loud that we could barely hear each other talk. However, I appre
