For the groupon HKD149 for 2 pax for dinner, I went to this Italian restaurant with three Italian guys. The set dinner included:Appetizerbrusthetta with fresh tomato, garlic and basil: the bread was fine and the toppings were lovely.soup or salad of the day. The soup of today was cream of broccoli, which wasn't bad, and the green salad was fresh and included cherry tomatoes. The salad was served plain and balsamic vinegar and olive oil were provided. The taste was quite good. Main Course spaghet

Main Coursespaghetti with cuttle fish black ink sauce: This was my dish and it was covered with plenty of ink sauce, which was delicious. The only complaint was that the cuttle fish was very tiny and not much in portion.
spaghetti with original bolognaise sauce: The bolognaise sauce was not very remarkable that the only comment was 'just fine'
Pan fried sole fillet in white wine or marsala sauce. The food was served lukewarm and was clearly not freshly cooked.
Dessert:zabaglione: an Italian dessert made with egg yolks, sugar and sweet wine. The taste was smooth and creamy.
mousse cake: too sweet for us.
Drinksextra $48 for 2 glasses of house wine
In general, it was a disappointing dinner. Though we had booked the table a week in advance, the staff had to put two tables together for us when we arrived there. The staff, a group of Filipinos, were very mediocre and clearly not customer-oriented. The house red wine was flat and tasteless. I guess that's what we get for $24/glass. Although the restaurant promotes itself as an authentic upscale Italian dining experience, the service was not upscale, nor was the food what I would call Italian. The dishes arrived at different times. For example, my boyfriend's mum, her main dish was served even before she'd finished her salad. Were we in the local cafeteria茶餐厅? Again, no sense of service. And as I said earlier, the food was average, not fresh and not even served HOT. This is definitely not something we expected from the fancy restaurant~
