Revisiting because of their seasonal October menu was definitely worth it! We again tried their tasting menu by choosing meatballs and truffle beef tartare as appetisers, gnocchi truffle & asparagus, orchiette nduja and lasagna as main.

Meatballs were as expectedly perfect. Grated Parmesan was topped gave a hint of savoury and cheesiness. Meatball was soft and meaty. Soft and juicy. Marinara was well dressed that each bite was tangy from the fresh tomatoes. A delicate dish.
Truffle beef tartare was neat. Truffle slices was exquisite surrounding the egg yolk. Love the cracking black pepper for a peppery flavour. After well mixing, each bite of tartare was creamy with a light truffle taste. Chewy and light. I was concerned about the piping creamy sauce overpowering or making the dish heavy, but not at all. Love it.

Gnocchi was one of my favourite pasta dish and it wasn't a dish that is easily be found in Hong Kong. Gnocchi itself was silky and chewy. A hint of potato flavour. Definitely what a gnocchi should taste like. Absolutely delicious. The Parmesan crisps gave a crispy texture and absolutely liking this garnish idea. Truffle cream sauce paired with the green asparagus balanced well that whole dish was very hearty.

Lasagna was served in burning hot deep dish. Staff was sweet to remind customer not to touch while spooning it. Crispy cheesy top layer with the meaty marinara, pasta was cooked perfectly absorbing all the juiciness. It was an indulgence. It was unstoppable until finishing the whole.

Orchiette nduja was our must order pasta dish every time. Apart from liking their spiciness, we love their well cooked al dante orchiette. The sausage meat was peppery that gave a whole dish an extra spice. The topped arugula was also peppery while gave a fresh bite. It could never be disappointing.

For dessert, we were planning to order one chestnut tiramisu and a double shot espresso. We were pretty full so we decided to share the dessert. Staff was so sweet to offer two smaller portion of chestnut tiramisu so that both could have our own.
Chestnut tiramisu was definitely a surprise. Absolutely in love with the chestnut mascarpone cream layer with chestnut nibs. The ladyfinger was soaked with the espresso that gave an extra coffee and nutty flavour. What a perfect ending. A dessert definitely worth to come back for.

This review is actually highlighting the staff serving us tonight. He recognised us and greet us with his brightest smile. No matter how busy the whole restaurant was, he would spend time to understand our opinion on each dish. He remembered and served extra bread without asking (our usual dining request), wiping our table before serving each dish, changing our plates after each dish. Every move was sweet and welcoming. Really a big thank you to the staff making our experience sweet and warming every time. Will definitely coming back again by the end of October for their fall menu!
