Arrived on a saturday around 1pm to find the restaurant only half-full. There is a room at the back for private parties, but otherwise, the main dining area has a very nice decor despite being slightly dark.

For their lunch set, there are options of appetizer + dessert only, an addition of soup or sandwich, pasta, or steak for different prices. Today we went for the appetizer/dessert buffet + soup.

Antipasti
There was at least 10 different types on the spread, my favourites being the roasted pumpkin, purple yams, parma ham, spinach, grilled shiitakes and skinned roasted eggplants. There is olive oil and balsamic on the table if you want extra flavour, but most of them were marinated very well with plenty of e.v.o.o.

italian minestrone
This soup was not what I initially expected, but it turned out pretty well =). my understanding of minestrone is that there are a variety of beans used with a tomato and carrot soup base, but here they used mainly green peas, with some beans and pesto as the main flavouring - hence the colour! A very hearty and tasty soup indeed.

Desserts
By the time we reached for the dessert the cakes we had been eyeing on since our arrival had been finished! There were only a couple of fruits, a mango crumble with aerosol cream and mini carrot-walnut cupcakes left..... I then asked a waitress if there were going to be any cakes left, she replied saying she will check, which at that point I suspected there wouldn't be any... but later she brought a plate with two slices of plain cheesecake to our table! For the other late-comers, they did not continue to bring out cakes to the buffet selection, but we were happy with our portion of cheesecakes. Rich and smooth, with a very good cookie base.

We also noticed that other tables were able to request for certain items that they initially had at the beginning of the buffet but because of the changing plates they no longer served - I think this is good, but for people who don't know about this system they may miss out!

All in all a very satisfying and tasty lunch, worthy of another visit!

May 9 was Mother's Day so we went this Italian Steak House at Lan Kwai Fung for a change. The access road was closed, so my parents in their seventies had to climb equivalent of three flights of stairs. The restuarant locates on the second floor of an office building. The first impression was quite good. The restuarant displayed prime cuts behind an enclosed counter in front of the kitchen.

May 9 was Mother's Day so we went this Italian Steak House at Lan Kwai Fung for a change. The access road was closed, so my parents in their seventies had to climb equivalent of three flights of stairs.

The restuarant locates on the second floor of an office building. The first impression was quite good. The restuarant displayed prime cuts behind an enclosed counter in front of the kitchen. Once we sat down at the table, a waitress brought us water, and followed by menus.

Special of the day: A combination of antipasto buffet plus a main course was well priced at under $200. The menu offers a wide selection of cuts and a variety of choices. My Dad and I decided to split a chunk of prime cut for two at about $700, while my Mom ordered the buffet plus a hanger steak as main course. The antipasto buffet was quite good. Then it came the main courses.

It was indeed a big chunk of medium rare meat, but it was lukewarm.

What a waste of prime meat!

I had to chunk them down quickly before they got cold.
In the end, we had to ask the waitress to bring it back to the kitchen to warm it up for us. We then had some more of the desert buffet. The cheese cake was excellent. It was not as dense as American version, but as not as soft as Tiramisu.

Another issue I noticed was that some of the servers were not adequately trained. For example, they didn't pass the menus to and took orders from ladies first. While I was still trying to chow down the meat. The waitress asked if I'd finished. How rude!

In conclusion, it was a good value if you stick with special of the day (i.e. antipasto buffet plus a main course). Don't waste your money on the prime cuts. Put it another way, don't waste a good piece of prime cut. They don't know how to do it.

中環是午餐的好地方，是日來這裏試試。可只吃自助頭盤和甜品($88)，另加三文治或意粉或主菜是有多種選擇，選另一份是加漢堡($158)。頭盤種類以蔬菜為主，肉類只有Salami和Parma Ham，其中以沙樂美腸的味道略佳。約十多種的蔬果類都新鮮好吃，其中蜜瓜很香甜；漢堡份量巨型，肉汁濃郁，肉味豐富，薯條略遜。甜品選擇少，而且擺放位置緊貼客人的餐桌，不太好。頗多外藉客人，氣氛輕鬆。

食物的確很不錯，特別是扒類，火喉控制極好，而且肉的質素很高。前菜款式很多，但很多都太傳統的，相信都不能太迎合香港人口味。甜品有兩款(見圖)，另加一款曲奇，全都不錯。最可惜的是semi buffet set 的main course 並無steak 可選，令人很失望。此外，破爛不堪的餐具便必須更換。希望lunch set 可以加入steak以供選擇。

The portion of the main was like dinner size portions so I think good value, but in hindsight I was full after second helping of antipasta buffet.

We also had the burger and arrabiatta pasta. The latter was more spicy than normal but was alright. The burger we asked for medium cooked but apart from just the outer layer it was all raw. Guess they always undercook in steakhouses so you could taste the meat and I guess also taste some blood?!?!

I enjoyed their Italian butcher shop environment but left the restaurant smelling like I sat next to a bbq pit.

I came to this restaurant for dinner before but had forgotten about it coz I thought everything was just average. I still prefer The Steak House or Ruth’s Chris for a more solid experience.
Would still come back for lunch coz I think their antipasta buffet is good and reasonably priced.

星期五晚上，男友工作至晚上10時，他帶我來到蘭桂坊，輕鬆下兼且試下他在openrice找到的這間餐廳，碰巧當日我也在openrice看到介紹bistecca的文章，順利成張便來試試。餐廳的佈置跟網友的食評沒兩樣，很舒服及有情調，當晚餐廳中心放了一張長枱，坐了20多位外藉人士，加添了點熱鬧氣氛。因為已經是晚上10點幾，我們不想食得太飽，所以order了一塊澳洲西冷及一份生菜沙律share食。西冷煎得恰到好處，沙律則很新鮮。值得一讚的是他們serve的麵包，是特別焗製的，鹹鹹地，很好美，男友忍不住要叫他們再來一客。我們很滿意當晚的食物及氣氛。兩日後，男友因為很回味那一塊牛排，他甚至買了一塊西冷回家煎給我食，原來他的手勢也不比餐廳的大廚遜色呢

Read on the paper about this restaurant and although I am normally not a fan of the Wagyu beef (I actually think the fat ratio is too high and the meat are flavourless) I have decided to give this a try simply because everyone is raving about it.

Got 4 people together for this challenge and this is the 3rd heavyweight steak dinner we've had this week. The 32oz aged wagyu from The Oakleigh Ranch in Eastern Australia was cooked to perfection by them (we had it done medium rare) and while it's been aged, the piece of meat was juicy and so full of flavour that makes me wonder what happened with the other Wagyu! This is a must try and with that price, it's unbeatable. Highly recommended.

Now aside from the obvious here, I have to say their side dishes, salad and especially the bread were also super great. Bread is baked to order.

Pretty good food, i.e. the food contains flavour and not the plastic taste you get with a lot of the new restaurants these days. Kudos to them. I'll be back.

There exists many styles for that piece of steak to be prepared. It can sometimes become confusing for those of us who regularly eat out and even for chefs too! Finally, I decided to take matters into my own hand and do my due research to debunk the myths!

1) Charcoal Grilling: In English, this is guaranteed to be 100% Charcoal Grilled.
2) Char-Grilling: In reality, more often than not the steak is NOT grilled on top of a bed of quality Charcoal, since this carries an ambiguity in English. You see, 'char' could point to the fact that its only grilled until Charred-on-the-Surface, slightly burnt. On the other hand, real Char-Grill's definition apparently refers to no.1 above. A Self Reminder: I shall stop using this ambiguous word to avoid confusion from now on.
3) 炭烤或炭燒: A lot of times, I read Magazine's refer to 炭烤 or even 炭燒 but in reality its often misleading and just cooked via Gas Flame Grilled, Grilled from a Gas-Flame based or Infrared based Broiler, or Volcanic Lava Rock Grilled, etc. Sometimes, the Charcoal Griller or Lava Rock Griller is mixed with Infrared Heater Elements underneath, or combined with Smoking Wood. Sometimes the Charcoal are already well 'spent' and no longer burns, its just lying idle there to redistribute the flame into even radiant heat and impart some flavour from old charcoal dust. It becomes all the more confusing when numerous possibilities branches out....! Do not trust what you read - TRUE 炭燒 are hard to come by.
4) Grilled: is a very general term. Used by itself, it usually refer to Steel Plate Griddle cooked much like Teppanyaki, or Flame-Grilled on wire mesh, or even on a Pan. Sometimes for steaks, it refers to Broiler-Grilled rather than Broiler-broiled.
5) Pan Fried: Its considered boring sometimes and everyone at home has done it at some stage, but the ultimate frying technique and equipment used are highly relevant!
6) On top of these: many other methods to cook a piece of meat exists:

Due to the inconveniece of additional Fire Regulations requirements for real Charcoal Grilling restaurants, most shops in HK nowadays cook their steaks in a Steakhouse Broiler, sometimes called a Char-Broiler, some restaurants combine it with other Grilling or Roasting methods either to start or finish off the process! The possible combinations seem endless.... Steakhouse Broilers should not be mixed up with normal heating element based Broilers or a Salamander, a sort of inverted Broiler. Steakhouse Broilers are specifically designed and built for a purpose and hardly utilised in normal restaurants, since they're expensive equipment. Although shaped like an oven, in reality the meat/fish or even vegetable is subjected to continuous grilling via Flame or Infrared Inducted heat: this special broiler's advantage is that it can grill everything within an 'enclosed covered space' to retain as high a heat as possible for searing the outside, something even a charcoal griller cannot achieve. How did this idea originate? Possibly due to TRADITIONAL THINKING, when chefs once believed High Heat sears the Surface then Seals in Internal Juices. This theory existed long before the advent of Molecular Food Science, yet customers and most Chinese or Western chefs still believe and advertise this nowadays, even most famed Steakhouses. However its just another big load of crock and proven 100% wrong. They seem to be behind by 10 years too late somewhat.

Searing the Meat's Crackly Surfaces CANNOT seal in juices - in fact, if you heat it under intense heat, the meat proteins and tissues contract faster and becomes tougher, it also squeezes out more desirable juices. On the other hand, the exact same Steakhouse Broiler is designed to grill steaks with as high a temperature as possible for as low a possible time, to avoid meat being subjected to too long a heat session, which equally makes it lose juiciness via steam evaporation. Its a paradoxical compromise eitherway!

Searing to seal in Meat-juice is so often repeatedly written again and again, much like wrong information about Coffee is always passed around again and again - 95% of people end up believing something FALSE just because it was virally regurgitated. I once believed it too without blinking, what a loser...

*************************************
BISTECCA ITALIAN STEAK HOUSE carries real Charcoal Grilling, much like its BLT Steak cousin. BLT STEAK & BLT BURGER HK are licensed from the original famous BLT chains, but here, BISTECCA HK seems like a concept copied from the same named Italian Steakhouse concept started by some Korean Chef in America. Dining Concepts has had precedents, as someone mentioned that their SOHO Craft steakhouse is not a bit related to its namesake in Tom Colicchio's Craft Steakhouse in NY either. Nevertheless, the food here is good!

HERBED FOCACCIA -
A fresh baked pizza-like-focaccia was crunchy than spongily soft in middle, made with numerous herbs like Rosemary, Tarragon and Fennel seeds, then baked with Blueberries and I believe Tomatoes? Not sure! SCORE: 4.0/5

14Oz AMERICAN USDA PRIME, DRY AGED RIB EYE -
was way more beefier in taste and marbled than my BLT's New York Strip Steak, as over there they don't use USDA PRIME grade beef though its apparently Dry Aged nowadays, deviating from the US branches? Ordered RARE+, it came out MEDIUM, so its over-cooked by around 1.5 levels. It was still good nonetheless, at least it wasn't stone cold & despite the lack of grill markings just like BLT's Steak, it carried that wonderful aroma of charcoal oil and on each biteful of the meat itself. Very satisfying, this meat was way better than the one I ate at BLT STEAK in every single aspect - and for virtually the same price!

SCORE: 4.8/5

WILD BOAR PAPPARDELLE -
was equally impressive. Very! For once, this was a true slow-cooked ragu style, its a thickly minced rather than hand-diced by knife version, infused correctly with a mix of my favourite herbs and redwine, this recipe really brought out the wild boar's original rich gamey flavour! Its strange to see a mid-range steakhouse execute this dish so daintily, as even Da Domenico's version took shortcuts and Sabatini's version is also different. The pasta strands are imported Italian commercial Feliciti pastas, which is quite good but had a texture of baked lasagna sheets than truly al dente, also a bit narrow to be a true Pappardelle. Still, the richness and multi-layered tasting Wild Boar ragu makes up for all of the weaknesses, it was a hearty and very memorable dish. Parmesan cheese is grated manually by the server. Interestingly, Tuscany by H next door serves a same dish but which I've yet to try for comparing! SCORE: 4.6/5

ZUCCHINI FRIES -
was also done really well too. Not quite $80-a-barrel oily unlike those 'soaked' onion rings at BLT STEAK, this was good stuff. SCORE: 4.5/5

RED WINES -
by the glass were ok affordable. A Montepulciano and Valpolicella were ordered, both tasted commercial but acceptable for its intended purpose as a quaff and as a steak's accompaniment. SCORE: 3.8/5

COOKIES -
slightly mintily chocolate and on the house. Ok-good, soft like Mrs Fields! SCORE: 3.8/5

****************************
A MIGHTY IMPRESSIVE DINNER. POSSIBLY ONE OF BEST, MOST AFFORDABLE STEAKHOUSES AROUND OFFERING THAT RARE COMBINATION OF REAL CHARCOAL GRILLING PLUS DRY AGED MEAT. FOR THIS QUALITY OF MEAT, IT WILL PROBABLY COST MORE TO PURCHASE THE RAW CUT FROM THE SUPERMARKET: BESIDES, HARDLY ANYONE SELLS DRY-AGED USDA PRIME GRADE MEAT. BISTECCA ALSO DRY AGE THEIR ALREADY 'SOFT' TENDERLOINS - WHICH AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO ONE ELSE BOTHERS DOING SINCE MOST PEOPLE FIND THIS SUPERFLUOUS... AGED TENDERLOINS POSSIBLY POSSESS ONE OF MOST PROFOUND YET SUBTLY NUTTY, CONCENTRATED BUTTERY MEAT FLAVOUR AND IS GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED, ITS THE PINOT NOIR OR BLUE MOUNTAIN COFFEE OF THE STEAK WORLD. I DON'T CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK THEY ALREADY BELIEVE OR KNOW, BUT I HAVE TRIED IT ENOUGH TIMES TO BOLDLY MAKE THIS JUDGEMENT - THANKS TO A CLOSE FRIEND WHO PERSISTED IN CONVINCING ME !

PS: I AM NOT FIXATED ON ONLY REAL CHARCOAL GRILLED STEAKS OR EVEN DRY AGED BEEF , I JUST THINK THIS SHOP IS A CAPABLE CONTENDER FOR ITS PURPOSE. ITS FLAVOUR ENHANCEMENT IS DESIRABLE, BUT THAT'S LIKE SAYING I MUST FROM NOW ON 'CHARCOAL GRILL' MY SHANGHAI CRAB, MY FEMALE MANTIS SHRIMPS, MY FRESH LOCAL ORGANIC CHICKEN, OR MY FRESHLY SLAUGTHERED CHINESE COW AND DON'T EVEN BOTHER EATING IMPORTED REFRIGERATED, UNFRESH USDA / CAB BEEF OR JAPANESE WAGYU. THERE ARE SO MANY PRO'S & CON'S AND CONTRADICTIONS IN EVERYTHING REGARDING EXTREME FOOD FETISHES. SOME MIGHT PREFER TO REALLY TASTE THE TRUE DEPTH OF BEEF FLAVOUR AND PREFER IT 'STEAMED IN A 蒸籠' LIKE ME, 'SOUS VIDED FOR 24 HOURS', 'SLOW ROASTED FOR 36 HOURS', 'ESTUVEED FOR 72 HOURS' OR 'BOILED IN CLEAR WATER' MINUS THE KONBU TAINTED BROTH, DRY AGED UNTIL ITS A JERKY
OR PLAIN PAN-FRIED WITH LOW HEAT WITHOUT SALT. CHARCOAL OR HIGH HEAT GRILLING CAN SOMETIMES SPOIL THE NATURAL BEEF TASTE? A MID '5'.

We tried this restaurant because someone mentioned that it was OK and I saw it recently on TV introducing this so called Italian Steak restaurant. We had a party of four and was concluded that the food was average but the service was extremely unsatisfactory. The frontline people did not seem to have product nor service knowledge.
We were there at 7:30pm and we started to order wine, 3 appetizers, a shared 32oz italian steak, and some side dishes. The food started to flood in at about 7:45 and by 8 sharp, all food were cramped on the 4 person table. We asked why the food was rushed out like this, the lady said she was not the one preparing the food and she said she would tell the kitchen about our comment. Still we thought the Italians will enjoy food and wine in fine time, unlike us rushing to finish the food while it is still hot.
When the steak was presented, there came the sauce, then the waiter left us. I had to call them back for....sauce spoons; then again for knives to cut the meat. It should be a standard protocol of what need to company the food when presenting it.
Nobody refill our water or wine when our glasses were empty.
Plus, the frontline people, they do not wear a warm smiling face in front or behind you. They look like they do no belong there and only become aware of what is lacking in the service until we point to them.
I thought the restaurant was opened very recently and they are still warming up, but they said it was opened for 3 months, it's not excusable at all when we paid $2300 for 4 persons to dine there, it is BAD money return.
We agreed not to go there anymore because we always have a lot of other choices of fine steak and good services elsewhere.
Good luck to them and hope they improve but I regret I had not read the previous comments here; at least I would have a mental preparation in advance.

從食友口中得知這裡是用炭火去烤牛扒,在香港要吃真正炭火烤牛扒的地方不多!本想立即約齊好友去踩場,但穩陣起見便先與一位愛牛人仕午市到來打探一下!來之前心中有個疑問,就是曾到訪意大利幾個城市,沒有吃過一餐滿意的朳類(包括豬、牛、雞)擔心這間打正賣牛扒的意大利餐廳水準會如何!訂了檯中午一時來到,裝修給我的感覺像是進了一間外國大型的凍肉舖!牆上掛了刀做裝飾、天花掛了一些吊鈎、入牆的凍肉櫃及擺放了一個舊式的磅.這個時間大嘅坐了四成客人,經理示意可自行挑選座位,挑了個近沙律吧的位置,負責服務我們那位外籍侍應可能元神未歸位!你問餐牌上的問題,回答是:ar....問檯面上那枝是醋,又是答:ar.....連白開水都要問係咪即係uncook !真係開心到你呢......午餐$168包自助頭盤及甜品,主菜有3款選擇:1是羊架,2是牛,3是魷魚.為牛而來當然是選2!在沙律吧走了一轉見選擇不多!煙三文魚是較好的一款!煙熏的味道頗重.Parma Ham是下價品!雖然係成隻腿即刨,但質素和真空包裝已切片的貨色差不多!主菜----名字已不記起!只知是一塊有點炭烤味及全熟的"牛扒",配了大量用來煮Ossobuco的蕃茄

從食友口中得知這裡是用炭火去烤牛扒,在香港要吃真正炭火烤牛扒的地方不多!本想立即約齊好友去踩場,但穩陣起見便先與一位愛牛人仕午市到來打探一下!來之前心中有個疑問,就是曾到訪意大利幾個城市,沒有吃過一餐滿意的朳類(包括豬、牛、雞)擔心這間打正賣牛扒的意大利餐廳水準會如何!
訂了檯中午一時來到,裝修給我的感覺像是進了一間外國大型的凍肉舖!牆上掛了刀做裝飾、天花掛了一些吊鈎、入牆的凍肉櫃及擺放了一個舊式的磅.
這個時間大嘅坐了四成客人,經理示意可自行挑選座位,挑了個近沙律吧的位置,負責服務我們那位外籍侍應可能元神未歸位!你問餐牌上的問題,回答是:ar....問檯面上那枝是醋,又是答:ar.....連白開水都要問係咪即係uncook !真係開心到你呢......
午餐$168包自助頭盤及甜品,主菜有3款選擇:1是羊架,2是牛,3是魷魚.為牛而來當然是選2!
在沙律吧走了一轉見選擇不多!煙三文魚是較好的一款!煙熏的味道頗重.Parma Ham是下價品!雖然係成隻腿即刨,但質素和真空包裝已切片的貨色差不多!
主菜----名字已不記起!只知是一塊有點炭烤味及全熟的"牛扒",配了大量用來煮Ossobuco的蕃茄醬汁(即是去皮蕃茄、洋葱、青椒、蘑茹切碎加牛油炒香,再加白酒香草用來炆牛膝嘅醬)
牛雖然是全熟及甚少脂肪,入口肉味雖不濃但卻又不嚡不靭,有點意外.後來問經理這是什麼部位,答案是Round,看圖解即是....攞柚!
甜品----只有兩款!一是菠蘿連蕊蛋糕,一是類似Chocolate Fudge Cake,其中一款難食到想死,請自行判斷.生菓甜味十足是新鮮貨值得推介!
飲了一杯可樂連加一埋單兩人四百元.
下午似乎試不到心中所想要的,整體感覺一般,下次晚上再來試清試楚!
P.S.外藉侍應表現亳不專業!真係要再培訓!

Food was OK but the service was absolutely horrific!!! I don't believe neither the waitresses or the manager himself have any idea of what quality service is. We were not even half way through our appetizers when the waitress started to bring on the steaks. So when I asked her why it was brought out so quickly, she could only tell me that she was not the one resposible cooking the steak. Wasn't that too obvious!!! Subsequently, I spoke with the manager who shockingly told me that this was the wa

Subsequently, I spoke with the manager who shockingly told me that this was the way Italian steak houses are supposed to be and bluntly asked whether I have ever been to an Italian steak house before??? Even though prices were seemingly reasonable, but that level of service would not be expected in any quality restaurant.

So last night, I went to the much talked about Bistecca. It was one of the few places I was really looking forward to trying as I had heard good things. The decor did indeed resemble an Italian butcher, with some private party thing going on in the corner.The crudite was a nice healthy touch pre-empting the sinful steaks to ensue. I ordered the bacon strips for starters and my friend ordered the steak tartare. My bacon strips were a bit bare but my friend's chuncky cut steak tartare (sans oeuves

So last night, I went to the much talked about Bistecca. It was one of the few places I was really looking forward to trying as I had heard good things. The decor did indeed resemble an Italian butcher, with some private party thing going on in the corner.

The crudite was a nice healthy touch pre-empting the sinful steaks to ensue. I ordered the bacon strips for starters and my friend ordered the steak tartare. My bacon strips were a bit bare but my friend's chuncky cut steak tartare (sans oeuves) was tasty and fresh.

For mains, I had to go for the 14oz prime rib whilst my mate went for the linguine with clams (not wanting to OD on beef). The steak was a little burnt on the outside, but juicy on the inside and very well cooked. We had a good glass of white and red respectively, which took longer than expected to deliver (I think they had completely forgotten; I was half way through my steak when I had to remind them for a second time).

Soon after we finished the meal, they cleared up the plates and we were looking at desert menus. The manager walks over and asks if we can leave within 20 minutes because they have someone waiting.

Obviously I am quite annoyed and I made the point of telling him that I have no problems with leaving early, but why would they not tell us when we made the booking (even as a precautionary measure to manage my expectations better). He didn't have any reason and walked off.

About 5 minutes later the waitress walks over and asks if she brings the bill, at which point I flip. "Is there anyone else you want to bring over to tell us to leave?" - I totally get the fact that they want to do more business and good for them, but throwing you out and twice in the space of a few minutes, was completely unacceptable.

It's a shame that a potentially great restaurant can be so easily ruined by awful awful service.

曾經去過一間M?. Steak, 完全有種被騙既感覺，什麼什麼 A5 GRADE 牛扒，入口即知龍與鳳。呢間唔同，食完覺得好滿足，至少質素對辦。今次同朋友食SEMI-LUNCH BUFFET，前菜+甜品都係BUFFET，主菜自己揀。前菜有PAMA HAM 已經足夠，甜品有唔錯既CAKE+TART。因為要等主菜，所以食著前菜+甜品。主菜order 左pork lion, beef & meat ball pasta，pork 煎得脆唔老，beef 梗加唔駛講，肉汁夠，仲煎得幾鮮嫩。meat ball past，估唔到meat ball 大大粒有粒。食到好飽。最欣賞係店內佈置好似屠宰扒房，有肉櫃擺放唔同既肉係度，俾客人睇得晒，包新鮮。百幾蚊食到唔錯既扒，幾好幾好。

國慶日…多了一天假期…想好好的吃一餐…然後逛街買衫~本來想去momo cafe吃沙律自助午餐的…可惜只有在非假日的一至五才會有…心血來潮突然想起土瓜灣之友剛剛到過中環一家新開的意大利扒房…在OR看到有食家吃過半自助午餐…價錢比起晚餐確實相宜…抱著想吃就去想的宗旨…來到蘭桂坊開餐~這餐廳在蘭桂坊tower對面…並不難找…差不多下午一時多…只有一檯客…裝修以木為主…有一個很大的雪櫃在入口的旁邊…可以清楚看到不同的肉類…..午市半自助餐每位88…有頭盤和甜品任食…可以另外再加錢配panini, pasta和肉類main course…由於擔心剛起來不能吃太多…所以我們點了二位的頭盤甜品自助餐另外再加一個wagyu beef….另外還點了一杯西柚汁….西柚汁…新鮮榨的…冰凍的喝起來很fresh…不過略嫌細杯了點…頭盤選擇有八款…有紅菜頭…沙律…芝士…雜菌…cold cut等等…我的主力當然是parma ham配哈蜜瓜啦~~超級開心….一共吃了三轉….這裡的頭盤碟不大…而且客人又不很多…所以很容易我就夾了大半碟…parma ham很香…味道很好…哈蜜瓜也不錯…只是切得不太好…大大件而且三尖八角的

國慶日…多了一天假期…想好好的吃一餐…然後逛街買衫~本來想去momo cafe吃沙律自助午餐的…可惜只有在非假日的一至五才會有…心血來潮突然想起土瓜灣之友剛剛到過中環一家新開的意大利扒房…在OR看到有食家吃過半自助午餐…價錢比起晚餐確實相宜…抱著想吃就去想的宗旨…來到蘭桂坊開餐~

這餐廳在蘭桂坊tower對面…並不難找…差不多下午一時多…只有一檯客…裝修以木為主…有一個很大的雪櫃在入口的旁邊…可以清楚看到不同的肉類…..

午市半自助餐每位88…有頭盤和甜品任食…可以另外再加錢配panini, pasta和肉類main course…由於擔心剛起來不能吃太多…所以我們點了二位的頭盤甜品自助餐另外再加一個wagyu beef….另外還點了一杯西柚汁….

西柚汁…新鮮榨的…冰凍的喝起來很fresh…不過略嫌細杯了點…頭盤選擇有八款…有紅菜頭…沙律…芝士…雜菌…cold cut等等…我的主力當然是parma ham配哈蜜瓜啦~~超級開心….一共吃了三轉….這裡的頭盤碟不大…而且客人又不很多…所以很容易我就夾了大半碟…parma ham很香…味道很好…哈蜜瓜也不錯…只是切得不太好…大大件而且三尖八角的…如果切成半月彎狀會比較好…當我們把parma ham都幾乎全部吃完的時候…店員就會在門口旁邊的大雪櫃再加param ham出來一片片添加…最後再淋上橄欖油…以88元的價錢來說…我覺得很超值呢….因為平常在意大利餐廳散叫也差不多是這個價錢了…今天這裡吃…我們大概吃掉平常散叫份量的四五碟吧….~其他的頭盤也不俗…友人說他很喜歡吃那裡的芝士…..

未上主菜之後…有一段小插曲…就是我們和店內其中的一位店員”相認”了…友人覺得那位店員很熟面…但一直想不出來…後來那店員主動來跟我們打招呼…先問我們之前有沒有來過…我們說沒有…之後他就說其實之前已經服務過我們了…原來那位店員之前在麻辣媽媽做過的呢~他還記得我們愛點生蠔煲…哈哈哈哈~原來麻辣媽媽是他的友人開的…所以之前只是去幫忙…西餐廳才是他的本行…這家扒房和麻辣媽媽完全扯不上關係的…卻竟然又再遇上了…真有趣~

也由於他認得我們…所以特意叫廚房弄了一個焗麵包給我們…他說這平常只在晚上才有的…是用了橄欖, 兩款提子和香草等焗成的…我和友人都覺得有很濃烈的紅棗味…哈哈哈~大概是因為那些提子焗過吧…這個麵包很香…不是鬆軟的那一種…是脆脆的有點像蒜蓉飽的口感…味道不錯~

然後我們的主菜來了…是用鉆板上牛扒的…上面鋪了大量加了檸檬汁的火箭菜…牛扒的樣子有點奇怪…因為跟平常的不同…塊扒好像被毀容似的…爛爛的…但一點也不容易切…因為有很多根…吃起來很有牛味也很香…只是太多根了…店員看到我們皺著眉也來跟我們解釋說這個部分叫做round…是有的”pat pat”位…是會比較多根的…而大廚已經用搥仔把整塊扒揼過…務求令到牛根斷裂…不過似乎作用不太…可能剛巧這一塊實在是太多根了….所以店員提議我們轉過另一個主菜…最後選了meatball意粉…

Meatball意粉上檯時店員為我們即磨一些芝士絲...意粉煮得剛剛好…meatball的皮帶點脆...夠肉味夠juicy…不過就略為鹹了點…有四粒大大的肉丸都算抵食…酸酸的蕃茄醬很開胃…所以就算有點飽最後我們也能吃完….~

甜品部只有生果和兩款蛋糕…分別是朱古力和芝士…選擇很少…幸好我們不是為了甜品而來的….所以只吃了幾件生果而已….~

整體上都不錯...只是那塊牛扒失色了點...可能是扒的部位問題吧...希望可以多幾款肉選擇就好了...晚上我未必會捨得來...不過lunch就確實試得過呢~
