Recommended by a friend because of its no corkage fee policy, this Italian restaurant was already on its way to success, my friend and I being an alcoholic ourselves, this place is on paper perfect for us. Located in a factory building, the renovation and decor of this restaurant is very decent, because of the relatively huge floor plan, the owner decided to split the places in different partitions, so it could be managed more efficiently and different function rooms could also be used for diffe
The most important bit, the food. The menu was a bit limited in choice and the first glance at it, you would find out this place is not joking about its price, they are charging almost hotel Italian pricing for its location within a factory building. But maybe the food quality would even be better than the hotels one. We tried to order two appertizers first, the frog legs and tuna, with them both out of stock, we were already a bit beaten. Then we went for our second favourite choice: the cheese platter. The cheese platter was nicely presented but the cheese quality was only okay.
Since the cheese platter was a bit filling, we only ordered a beefballs, mushroom linguine and confit fingerling potato to share. The pasta is the thing we had problem with the most. The pasta was $240hkd, it is quite pricey to begin with, but because we want to try out their pasta we ordered it anyway. The quality of the pasta was quite good, but the sauce is simply too thick and the portion, that's the major problem of the restaurant, the portion of its food are all over the place, with some dishes simply too big, they could easily cut half the price and adjust the portion of it accordingly.
A correct portion size and proportion of ingredient determine the quality of any restaurant. After all, a good try but that's it.
