Posto Pubblico (已結業)

Went to PP twice (not sure of the exact dates); once for dinner and second time for a coffee with couple of friends. Was very much looking forward to this restaurant because (1) HK needed something like this, and (2) 'affordable home-cooked italian'.Visit one (Thurs night light-dinner): Environment - hit the spot, not much needs to be said about this.Service - Good. All restaurant should have this no service charge policy, as it encourages good service. Food quality - average-to-poor. Meatballs

From Nepalese to Indian. Japanese to Italian. You name it, and you can probably find a little place in SOHO that serves that particular type of food. Unfortunately, none of them are particularly good. This new joint is no different. The decor is kind'a nice, but yet again, just another cheap copy of some cool restaurant in nyc. The food is uninspiring at best. I was told that they only use organic produce and even pull their own mozzerella. Whether the ingredients were organic or not, I can't te

For starters I am not all that keen on "blogging." First reason is that you can be swayed for the positive or negative from people who really have no business commenting on things they have no idea about. For some, its a way to fill the void of their burning desire to be noticed, or try to establish a bit of fame for themselves.....its tragic.I decided to register and write on this site for the sole reason that after living in HK for the last 7 years, I finally felt encouraged and refreshed ab

I have heard rave reviews from multiple friends and publications about Posto Pubblico, so I guess I was pumped to have an exquisite dining experience. I do, after all, have a weakness for Italian-American food.Unfortunately, the meal quite didn't live up to my expectations. Nevertheless, I will start with the highlights.HIghlight #1: Creamy Polenta with Mushroom Trifolati - The polenta was creamy, with jus the right amount of cheese, and the mushrooms were perfectly sauteed (plus I tasted a tou

"點解d呢間餐廳既食評都係英文?"本身唔明, 去過一次就明晒!因為d客有9成都係老外,再唔係就係操流利英語既華人!我都係朋友介紹至識黎.聖誕唔想去d成日去既地方,中環又少去. 見食評又唔錯.而且個friend都推介.一於黎試下!呢間餐廳冇聖誕餐, 要散叫. 我覺得咁樣仲好, 唔洗局住食o個幾樣野食. 因為好多時個餐緊有一兩款野食唔啱食.加上個環境好有feel, 燈光暗暗地, 感覺唔錯.本身book左8:00pm, 但我同男友未夠7:45pm 已到.係伊利近街行左一轉, 發現呢間餐廳係成條街最多客既一間.一去到, 因為早到左, 未有位住, 但d waiter & waitress 都好有禮貌咁招呼我地去bar枱坐住等.好快就有位, 一坐底, 望一望個menu, 全雞腸! 好彩友一早介紹定幾款菜式俾我! 我先唔洗頭痛!一坐底, 有麵包送, served with Olive oil, salt & butter.塊包點d oil 同 sea salt 再食, 都幾好味. 本人第一次咁食, 幾新鮮.跟住Appetizers 我地要左:1.) Mushroom Trifolata - $602

We went to the restaurant during its soft opening in late November. I was happy to see a NY style Italian restaurant finally open in HK. The restaurant also tried to introduce the concept of eating local to HK, which I think is a lot more important than organic. It just makes much more sense to eat fresh local ingredients than something that's shipped from overseas and days or weeks old. The menu is very simple and divided into vegetables, pastas, fishes and meats. There is also a black boa

Went there for lunch with my friend. First of all location-wise it is easy to reach as it is very close to the Central escalator. The interior decoration was very nice yet simple, and the high ceiling added a good atmosphere.Both of us ordered the set lunch where you can choose an appetizer, a main course, and finally coffee/tea. The salads there are amazingly fresh, and then I was later told it was freshly delivered from an organic farm in HK -- no wonder! Had the pasta for the main course and

Posto Pubblico is a new smart-casual Italian Pub & Restaurant that hails a bold Ethical Concept: unlike most Fine Dining restaurants which always import the best ingredients from overseas, the founders of Posto Pubblico are trying to push the concept of Reduced Carbon Footprint. Meaning, they will only resort to imported produce when it proves necessary (for example, better quality, imported Beef or Fishes, Olive Oil, etc), whereas the majority of their ingredients especially the Vegetables o

I was lucky to have stepped into this restaurant on its opening night, I had no clue and no wonder it was so crowded! The front half of the establishment was occupied by the bar area so my friend and I had to squeeze through the crowd to get into the main dining area. It wasn't as big as I imagined, likely a dozen or so tables from a quick scan.The first thing you will see when you enter the dining area is the open kitchen RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the premise. A bold move indeed to have such a hug
