Tinello (已結業)

今日午餐時間都唔洗等位，應該因為係公眾假期。第一次嚟：食晚餐時散叫salad+pasta，印象OK，但睇埋個價錢，OK都係應該嘅。第二次嚟：淨食甜品，無咩印象。今日第三次嚟：食set lunch (3 courses)包：送嘅caesar salad：OK，淡左少少duck breast with greens：OK，意大利黑醋味濃chicken breast：OK，比想像嘅無咁"鞋"，有菠菜貼住煎嘅部份比較有味sirloin steak：OK，網燒味比較重但可以接受下面堆薯蓉香得嚟唔太油，good！peach cake with ice-cream：麻麻地 (其實我對甜品無咩研究，可能唔中肯)總括嚟講set lunch嘅價錢，有呢個水準都幾好。因為佢都幾open，有隻小昆蟲陪我食晏，在所難免吧。致於服務，總係覺得怪怪......

早前，蒲友C推介Tinello予小妹，表示值得一試，是日就帶同老爹去光顧了。翻查字典，原來，Tinello是解作裝潢較為簡陋的小食堂，常見於十七世紀的歐洲。當然，位於灣仔Briam28蘇豪區的Tinello則明顯較為身嬌玉貴了，裝潢設計簡約型格，帶點歐洲優閒舒適自在的風格。露天開揚的用餐區域，整齊地擺放著數張深褐色的枱凳，以及餐具和擦得閃閃發光的玻璃酒杯。悠閒自在地安坐其中，一邊享用佳餚美食，一邊舉杯暢飲，一邊望著往來不斷的路人，別有一番味道﹗店內店外，擺滿大小不一、高矮肥瘦的酒瓶。放工時，與三五知己一齊Happy hour，痛飲幾杯，蠻正斗的﹗奈何，小妹絕非杜康之輩，可惜可惜﹗我們被高且瘦、疑似高層的外籍男子安排坐於靠近戶外和戶內分界的正中兩人枱位置。室內左手邊有一道磚牆，數盞掛燈，淺色橫間沙發椅配上鋪上白枱布的方枱，予人高貴典雅之感。盡頭靠近右手邊則有一個酒櫃，擺滿琳琅滿目的酒瓶。午市套餐有六款選擇，有意粉、魚扒、雞、羊架及牛扒任君挑選，價錢由$118至$136不等，包餐包、餐湯或沙律，以及飲品或甜品，另加一服務費。就當日所見，侍應服務態度殷勤有禮，加水添水也主動勤快。先來的是切得

I visited Tinello on a Friday evening. I arrived as a party of two and was seated around 7:30. We ordered drinks to enjoy buy one get one free promotion during happy hour, and happy hour lasted til 8 pm. We then ordered a salad and a pizza to share from the a la carte menu.Sadly, only our drinks were served between the sitting period from 7:30 to 8pm. However, the table next to us, also a party of 2, had been served with 2 salads, a steak, and a pasta. This party arrived about the time our drink

一群比較談得來的同事選了今天來個Pre-Christmas Lunch。選了Tinello的原因，其實都是很隨意來到Brim 28，只是大家覺得合眼緣就入去了。今天雖然是聖誕午餐餐單，但是也有平日的午餐供應。我比較討厭有些餐廳在節日時只可選擇那些「特選」套餐。貪吃的我其實也希望節省金錢的，所以我都是選了Fish Fillet ($128)，只在此感受一下聖誕氣氛算了。餐廳採用無門設計，天然光照射下另人心情開朗，食慾大增。香草麵包味道一般，除了麵包皮外十分鬆軟，但我不喜歡那過份濕潤的感覺。枱上有黑醋和橄欖油來伴食麵包。今天的湯是南瓜湯，南瓜味不算很濃也不太滑，但味道尚算天然。主菜Fish Fillet 出場。Fish Fillet 配上香草及檸檬牛油汁，沒有加上太多的調味料，味道清新。我還加了不少檸檬汁呢！魚呈微微金黃色，鮮味尚可，也不覺得腥。不過食到差不多最後還是覺得有點油膩。其中一位女侍應收碟時，把我們其中一位同事吃上碟上的茄汁弄了在我的褲子上，還好像沒有事發生。到我不斷抹褲子的時候，她仍沒有反應。到我再望一望她，她才說" Oh! It's so busy!"最後她也沒有拿紙巾給我，

I first discovered this area of Brim 28 as I had a friend who worked around Wan Chai. It's a nice spot as it's a bit off the main drag so it's not as crowded for lunch or dinner. I've been here a few times and the pastas here are top notch. Last week I stopped by to have dinner here on a weeknight. The restaurant was about 3/4 full. I ordered what I usually get when I want pasta - spaghetti alle vongole. I was tempted to try something new but at the end decided to stick with the tried and true.

We decided to take a look at Brim 28, the dining area on the upper floor of Causeway Centre. Finally we settled in Tinello as recommended by one of us.Tinello served 3-course set dinner at around

It was our first visit to this restaurant. Our friends had booked the venue for a birthday dinner. They had been there before and knew Luigi, the bar manager. He welcomed us at the entrance and introduced himself. He promised to take good care of us and so he did. The restaurant is clean and projects a warm and cosy atmosphere. We first enjoyed a glass of muscato waiting for our friends to arrive. Soon the restaurant started to fill up. Some people sat outside underneath the roof despite the rai

I went to Tinello the first time two weeks ago. Everything about it was fantastic. The food was excellent, the service outstanding and the atmosphere beautiful. We were a big group of people so we ordered a variety of dishes including appetizers, mains and desserts. And nothing disappointed, all was very fresh and of distinct and great flavor. The pizza crusty, the pasta rich in taste and the meat very tender. Coupled with a very inviting ambiance the service was great, the staff gave us a lot o

Tinello is part of the Al dente Group, serving mostly Italian inspired dished. Althought I never thought much of this Dining Group before, I should also say and admit that I have had some decent dishes here and for the price range, it is not trying to rip off people! Not everything is authentically Italian, but this night's Chicken Salad for $88HKD was done really above my expectations indeed. The chicken carried a smoky grilled trait that is hard to find, but yet remained softly moist a

早前跟同事們試了Brim 28的Tinello，頗滿意，這晚帶友人來這裡慶祝聖誕節 :）原來晚上的氣氛更動人﹗餐廳選的紅酒既便宜(HK$58/杯)，也跟Sirloin Steak很配，Mr. Cat十分滿意(但我是完全不懂的，我還是愛喝利賓納，嘻嘻)。Prosciutto e Brie (HK$79)﹕友人不停讚好，但我忙著吃以下的一碟，沒有試這個 : )Di Caprese (HK$86)﹕這就是我很喜歡的buffalo mozzarella加上新鮮蕃茄﹗讚﹗因為這兩天都吃得太多，很膩，所以點了Tomato Soup來refresh自己﹗喝後果然舒服很多﹗Lasagna (HK$118)﹕昨晚吃的Lasagna太膩，這晚我只拍照沒有試了，但友人都讚好。Mr. Cat點了Set Dinner，主菜是Grilled Sirloin Steak (HK$248)，肉質和味道都不錯，而且配菜十分豐富，和我上次試的Set Lunch一樣，有南瓜、白蘿蔔、豆和薯蓉等。友人點了蔬菜pizza，其實pizza我只愛吃pepperoni或類似的，其他都不喜歡，但友人說批底夠脆，不錯的。Set Dinn

Happy Friday和同事們到了Brim 28的Tinello吃午餐。感覺非常開揚，氣氛很好﹗麵包其實味道不錯，十分鬆軟，但不知為何有點濕濕的 @_@Set Lunch可選餐湯或沙律，今天的Soup of the Day是南瓜湯。沙律有兩個選擇，上圖是Tuna Salad，同事分了一點給我試試，材料豐富，非常美味。我選了上圖的Caesar Salad，其實味道也不錯(如果醬汁多點會更好)，但Tuna Salad好吃多了，非常後悔，嗚嗚……Main Course的其中一個選擇是BBQ Pork Chop (HK$108)，醬汁帶點點酸甜，非常開胃，豬扒肉質有嚼頭又絕不會太韌，美味﹗我點的Fish Fillet (HK$108)，肉質軟硬適中，加上極豐富的配菜包括薯蓉、南瓜、白蘿蔔和豆等，實在美味﹗甜品和餐飲只可選擇其一，甜品賣相也不錯呢﹗這一餐大家都非常滿意 :）

剛剛俾老友約咗去舊三里屯食午飯，唔知點解去到間間都有位？最後揀咗呢間入嚟搏吓！裝修唔錯、氣氛也不弱！諗住簡簡單單完事吧！見佢件Ribeye衹收$128咁筍，Sirloin仲超平$118，咁就試吓啦！正所謂平嘢無好...加上意大利菜...呢舖中晒伏！先講講頭盤凱薩沙律，dressing唔夠，攪到邊有邊無薄稀稀，一喺你就on side好嗎！此外吞那魚沙律亦是唯一要讚的。埋牙大盤時，一看成八、九安大大件好吸引，邊知埋尾得六、七成落度肚，你話抵唔抵！肉味無乜、多根、堅韌..應有盡有！講真，咁嘅價錢心知肚明！但換番轉我情願你貴D，質素好、自然就要俾多D，超合理！這也是飲食一族的文化！至於甜品咖啡中規中矩啦！但願其他菜色唔係咁差吧！至於個光頭鬼佬經理都幾nice的！

一時興起的lunch 往往伴隨意想不到的驚喜！某日與朋友在臉書上談起【餐廳周】一事便來了食餐飯的興致，可惜餐廳周list 中的經濟型午式套餐全部booked ，難耐被點燃的“食飯”興致，我便從長長長的wishing list 中挑了這間位於灣仔“新”地標（開飯地標）Brim28的Tinello；前一天致電訂位，也是預料中的順利，電話那頭的侍應語氣也是輕快，不似電話那頭常常傳來的不耐煩或是“速戰速決”的口吻，也許是新開店的關係，也有可能是西餐廳的關係，更有可能是侍應很空閒的關係，anyway 從一定程度上來說，我倒是偏愛嘗試新餐廳，塗得就是個新官上任的認真勁，不似一些仗著名氣的老店那般有股洗刷不掉的傲慢，這是我特別受不住的。Tinello 一看便知是個Italian word，Dinette 的意思，姑且就當做是餐桌椅或更俗一些“飯堂”的意思吧；入店之前圍著Brim28平臺轉了一圈，70%的餐廳都走Bar

相約三數舊同事午飯，目標選取一間環境寧靜的餐廳用膳。在Openrice閒逛了一陣子，最終決定到灣景中心的Tinello閒聚，順道試菜 雖說是午膳時間，但店內食客不算多，正提供了一個寧靜的用餐環境。西餐廳內的裝潢配置不走豪華路線，但舒適度還算理想的。午市套餐有六款選擇，有意粉、魚、雞及牛扒，價錢由$108至$128不等，連頭盤及飲品/甜品，都唔算貴噃！先來的永遠是麵包籃，意大利香草包，入口暖暖的，質感軟中又帶點口感，香草及洋蔥味道淡淡交替，配上黑醋及橄欖油來吃口味更佳！頭盤沙律餐湯二選一，今趟試了椰菜花忌廉湯，椰菜花切碎磨蓉，喝下還覺粒粒口感，湯底菜花味重，忌廉味薄，配搭效果不錯。湯中放入麵包粒一小件，沾滿湯汁很好吃。主菜點了Chicken Saltimbocca，在雞胸上放上菠菜及Mozzarella Cheese，煎香封住肉汁再淋上內含Marsala Wine的醬汁，製法比較一般扒類花心思及複雜。雞胸表面微微煎燶，味帶鹹香，肉質本身不算滑溜，但亦不會過於鞋口。再切入雞柳中間部份，就會顯現菠菜芝士夾心，份量不多，但有畫龍點睛之效。伴碟配菜亦不馬虎，食材有紅椒、南瓜、紅蘿蔔及豆角等，部份

這餐廳的位置可算難找,看OPENRICE明明在碼頭前方, 但我們卻繞了幾圈才發現是在前幾個"天橋口"餐廳的格調不錯, 是傳統昏暗的浪漫型餐廳,聽說還是AL DENTE GROUP的成員呢~食評:麵包: 澆一點黑醋和橄欖油十分開胃南瓜湯: 內有蒜蓉包的南瓜湯. 似乎下了不少開水煮, 沒有南瓜的味道, 反而有點像羅宋湯...的味之素Portobello Grill: 以前菜來說, 似乎頗大, 但吃下去不然, 加上芝士焙的大蘑菇非常新鮮可口, 再嘗一點雜果沙律, 美味! 所以我經常說前菜從來比MAIN COURSE來得驚喜及令人回味煙鴨胸配桃: GF說很厚好吃, 只吃了一口的我也覺得不錯, 只是不如我那款那麼有特色而已西冷牛排: 我的主菜終於上場, 從來對意大利餐廳的扒類沒有期望, 是次的MEDIUM牛排亦一如所料, 有牛味但不重, 有根, 而且還是順紋切...只能說意大利餐廳的扒類從不是強項吧天使麵拌海鮮: 海鮮的份量很足, 天使麵反而不夠, 佐麵的龍蝦+干邑忌廉醬太烯亦多, 令麵變得像湯粉, 算是敗筆芒果,青懧,士多啤梨雪葩: 很大的雪葩, 而且還X3, 味道很像鮮果, 只是青懧味有點像
