208 Duecento Otto (已結業)

The first impress I have, was are you kidding me. The décor was exceptionally wonderful, but its Portuguese style in a classic Italian restaurant, a total joke. The restaurant was famous for poor services as well, the funniest thing was, the waitress (a TB) even forgot the bill after I asked, and the reason being she was too busy lecturing her junior to serve. Surely she is very well qualified for training others.Cuisine: ItalianFood rating: 1/10*Service: 0/10 Ambiance: 8/10 (for a none-Italian

滿是棺木壽衣店的荷里活道一帶，突地冒出了間兩層高的意大利餐廳。它已位於的街道208號命名，就叫做208 duecento otto，以正宗的那不勒斯式薄餅為招徠。午市亦在樓下的酒吧位置提供antipasti自助餐的選擇,連薄餅或意粉亦不過是$108，是相當抵吃的選擇。雖然單以午市不能評論餐廳的水準，但我兩次也只是吃其午餐，就當是獨立針對bar set lunch的評論好了。樓下酒吧是半開放的，夏天可能會有點悶熱，但牆上藍白色的瓷磚能帶來涼涼的感覺。客人可選擇單點頭盤buffet又或是點主菜，相當靈活。放在bar枱上的頭盤選擇不還非常豐富，但都是吃得出的精細。例如有烤得帶焦香的南瓜片，軟綿香甜;以橄欖油和醋伴過的Romanesco broccoli像西蘭花，來自意大利，味道比較清甜亦也更爽口，非常美味。還有林林總總的海鮮頭盤，cold cuts等等，種類不多但都非常新鮮味美。最喜愛的是浸在水中的水牛芝士，起初的迷你粒裝芝士不加後來的酥香清甜，後來看a la carte的餐牌才知道這裡有提供不同種類的水牛芝士。麵包是有趣的上乾下濕摻滿橄欖油，還是微暖時吃的更是惹味，比樣子看來好吃。而最喜歡

話說早前和朋友來了中上西環一日遊，本來午餐我們是計劃去另一間餐廳的，誰知訂位時店員告知他們當日休息，那我們便唯有另尋目標，之前經過感覺這裡裝修和環境也不錯，所以便決定來這裡試試它們的午餐好了。準時來到看到原來頗多外國人光顧，餐廳共有兩層，店員安排了我們坐樓上的梳化位置，都幾舒適的，環境亦相當寬闊不錯，我們坐下後當然急不及待看看吃什麼好了。週末來到只有數款weekend brunch選擇，沒有set lunch，但其brunch的選擇亦不太吸引，所以最後我們還是決定a la carte點菜好了。不過是日吃運麻麻，這裡作為第一站已經是一個不太好的開始。由於前菜不太吸引，最後我們就點了2款pasta和一款pizza，之後再點甜品吃。Pasta分別要了Lasagna calabrese 和Boston Lobster Linguini，前者味道較好，不過份量實在是很少，基本上我們每人吃一口就沒有了。蕃茄味夠濃酸酸的較開胃，芝士香亦夠，亦不會覺得麵焗得太腍身，唯一就真的是細份了點。雖然上者味道正常，但另一款pasta - Boston Lobster Linguini就不太好吃了，份量和前者一樣

We had an impromptu dinner here for 7 people - we had a hard time finding a place around central/soho at the last minute for 7 people but found ourselves here at about 9pm, with no problem at all - pretty empty actually.Ambiance and decor was very nice; drinks were fine.Bread was good (these little flatbread slices that were seasoned well).Appetizers were decent - beef cheek was quite good; the parma ham and melon came with a few measley scoops of melon. Main dishes were all a let down - most pe

The focaccia bread here is the best type of bread I've ever eaten! MUST TRY!It's salty and chewy!I had 8 pieces of those, and wanted more! but the waiters there told us that there's a limit What a shame...Anyways, I was so full that I could only have an appetizer, so I chose it's signature appetizer - Pomorodo xxx... ($148)It's tomato with egg and meat sauce accompanied by bread!The tomato is sweet and fresh! The bread is, of course, for a bread lover, very nice too.My friend, on the other hand,

那天去上環找人做印章, 路經208餐廳,得知為精品酒店集團女強人所開設,正直傍晚時段, 因沒有訂位, 但也有安排bar枱就坐,無需等位, 但前台好似只懂英語(先講廣東話沒反應,後用英語才明白)店舖好切合意大利風味,現場環境好多老外氣氛高漲,二話不說先來兩杯生啤, 一看餐牌沒有中文只有英意文, 點了一客火腿一個pizza napoli, 火腿配上法飽另加棷欖油同醋上, 風味十足.那個 pizza 一吃竟是冷的, pizza 不該是燙的嗎? 會不會是其他客人不要才給我?或是擱置一旁超過十分鍾才所致?吃到炭焦味多過 pizza 味!!這是拿波里的風味嗎? 十兄之九弟

We tried this place a few months back following some Italian friends' recommendation. It was said to have the best Napoletana pizza in town. Mozarella was really fresh and tasty. Some might find it a bit soggy but it's great pizza overall.This time around was quite another story. Mozarella was actually mixed with some kind of unknown cheese. That's a sin for a Margarita pizza. The dough was also chewy and a bit oily. It's not a total disaster. But for $150 plus a pizza, it's really not worth it.

It was the day Prince William married Kate Middleton. My friend asked if I wanted to celebrate and we asked another Britophile friend along. We had a hard time choosing somewhere as we thought all the British restaurants would be full and we thought we could watch live coverage from the television. Then we realised that the wedding wouldn't start till 5pm and the Pearl coverage wasn't until 3pm. It was my friend who chose this restaurant as she read it won some best newcomer 2010 award. I read a

行過上環荷李活道見到呢間裝修好靚既意大利餐廳，星期五終於試到啦!! 兩個人叫左個D.O.C. pizza，好好味喎,, 有炭燒既香味，好好咬。可能我好鐘意食芝士，所以好鐘意，最特別係佢要配辣椒油，芝士加辣椒油真係第一次。香港好少有真正意大利pizza，全部都係美式0個0的大件夾抵食又多料.. 食一件就濟... 仲叫左一個Pomodori Uovo.. 即係蕃茄同埋水煮蛋，蕃茄好香，水煮蛋都好smooth，有小小辣味，好開胃。再加一個Dry Rubbed Ribeye,,,唔會太乾，鹽香味好重，但又唔會搭過ribeye 味。唔需要任何source，原汁原味！兩個人３樣野食，已經好飽 餐廳內部裝修都唔錯，用左好多原木傢俱，好樸實，最鐘意其實係佢條樓梯，白瓷磚上面有藍色中國圖案，樓梯用左金屬材料，有外國Feel，對比好大，但係又唔係唔夾，好特別。香港其實好少0的咁有特色既裝修，成日都係黑白灰你唔悶我都悶!

went back to 208 saturday night when i found out the old chef had left and the place was packed in the bar and in the restaurant. we decided to have a pizza in the bar as they have a new menu of white and red pizzas with tomato sauce and without, the toppings are very interesting tried the potato raddiccio and porchetta and it was fantastic, the cheese is strong, like gorgonzola and the raddiccio really makes it. they now serve lasagne as well in the bar, it is a new addition using spicy calabri

Sorry but I would like to let everyone who visits here know that YOU REALLY PLEASE WATCH OUT YOUR BELONGINGSI heard so many stories you lose your purse, umbrella, phone, iphone IN THE RESTAURANT after or during the meal.You take care of yourself and be more careful even in Hong Kong after all and I am not sure whether that is just a coincidence or not, but I personally think that I would like to have a meal in safe, trusted place without worrying any.

Nice decor although need to go downstairs to find a bathroom. Not a particularly busy day but you would think it was given the staff attention to customers.Pizza bread nibble was ok, but using cheap flour.Starter of squid, acceptable but presentation and temperature not up to par for the price.Steak was disappointing, ordered blue/rare, got medium rare, dining colleague ordered rare/medium got medium well. Meat was nothing special, quite a lot of gristle. The accompanying potatoes seem to be co

I was close to going somewhere else based on reading some of the reviews here beforehand. Good thing we did go.The entrance was impressive, like an invitation to an experience. The interior decor was atmospheric. The rustic iron staircase was particularly remarkable.Service was good. Not intrusive, but efficient. We did not experience the problems other reviewers suffered.Food was prompt.I liked the foccacia served as a complementary appetitizer. It was warm and flavorful, and gave a sort of pre

The WORSE SERVICE ever. Definitely not again.I am glad to have such a decent restaurant opened in this area. Hope the management will read this comment before its too late.Its not the peak hour and the restaurant was not full at all. We had been waiting at the reception area for quite long but no one came over to lead us to our table. We walked toward the bar area but still no one came to serve us. We then walked toward the end of the restaurant but seemed like no one noticed our existence. We

so typical of many new Hong Kong restaurants - let's spend all the money on the decor. The first amazing thing was that we were told that a grilled pork chop would take 45 minutes to 1 hour. Really! My wife ordered pasta with a bolognaise sauce, the first attempt at which was cold - and I mean COLD. The second attempt was hot but tasted very strange and had a microscopic amount of sauce (and yes I know that Italians do not always like a lot of sauce, but this was ridiculous). There was also
