Trattoria Caffe Monteverdi (已搬遷) 新店位置

Since this restaurant is situated rather close to our home, so we decided to drive there tonight for a simple dinner after work. We first noticed Trattoria Caffe Monteverdi as we drove past High Street recently, noticing it was quite full during the weekends, and on top of very good reviews from various sources, we decided to try it out.The service was mainly 'entertained' (pretentiously hard sell with inflated and attractive descriptions of food and wine items which later disappoint) by a Chine

冇記錯的話, 响某雜誌見到這間餐廳的介紹, 見佢影出黎 d 相好有當年去意大利旅行見到的餐廳的風味 ~所以特登搭車黎 ~ 位置都幾隔涉下 , 搵路搵左一陣 ~ 意外發現高街除了這間餐廳外, 原來仲有其他, 下次可以試下店鋪細細, 家庭式管理, 廚師係意大利人(如冇估錯), 會間中出下黎問下你 d 野食覺得點, 又會同你傾幾句, 很 nice 很 friendly~上菜比較慢, 所以太趕時間就唔好黎啦 ~ lunch set 有四個選擇, 我們每人各自 order 了一份, 湯我們選了紅菜頭湯, 一到來, 滿滿的紅, 有點吃驚但喝一口, 我們相視而笑, 馬上連喝多幾口, 還笑說日後有機會要回家試做這款湯啊~ 相當美味, 還熱呼呼的 !配著不同款式的面包, 這個前菜真是來得不錯 ~餐 A 是 煎豬排, 肉質普通, 有點"un", 比較遜色一點~餐 B 是 house pasta, 看樣子不甚了了, 味道卻不錯, 粉的口感不會太"淋", 有一些咬感, 而且跟菇, 茄汁, 香草同吃, 清得來卻吃到粉及醬汁的味道~ 這不是容易處理的菜式啊, 越簡單越見其難度!甜品是杏仁蛋糕, 沒甚特別 ! 咖啡

餐廳裡面同出面街嘅環境完全相反，餐廳俾人一種舒服感覺，食完都唔係好想走...食物質素同味道都好好，同我之前去食嘅意大利嘢完全唔同，好有自己嘅風格，都幾特別同埋好有心機。食物份量啱啱好，冇多冇少，唔會浪費又唔會唔夠食。老闆娘同伙計都超nice，會細心介紹食物同話俾我地聽應該點食。值得再去。

Trattoria Italian Food, less formal and more Regional..Fresh Bread -It was decent by local standards and in particular the fragrantly fresh Olive Oil. ~ 7/10.A naturally effervescent Mineral Water – $48This was naturally fizzy and savoury with a tinge of mineral..Sarde Ripiene – Liguria $52Sardine slice is stuffed with Olives, Pancetta, Mortadella mince then fried with an egg batter. It was slightly fishy for me but I still enjoyed it for the mingling of different flavours. ~ 7/10.Bread Cr

走到西環高街，最近開了一間意式小餐館Trattoria Caffe Monteverdi。這裡吃的都是一些簡單的家庭式意菜，而店主本身從事葡萄酒買賣，走遍了意大利多個地方，他們希望把各地區的家庭菜帶給客人，讓他們可以輕鬆的、尤如在家般的吃一頓飯。侍應也先送來麵包，伴上的橄欖油挺香，像帶點甜味，沾上麵包上吃，口感既油潤，又挺好吃。餐廳內也有不少葡萄酒，而每星期二及三晚，也有配酒吃的晚餐套餐，價錢$250起，店主也會按客人的個人喜好或是推介喝適合配菜的酒。Stuffed Sardines，Sarde Ripiene，Liguria，里古利亞釀沙甸魚，$52，薄薄的沙甸魚釀入了數款煙肉、腸肉及香草，再蘸上蛋漿及麵包糠後炸至外表金黃色，入口香脆，濃郁的沙甸魚味中帶著鹹香，味道恰好，沒有過鹹，香口好吃。Bread Crumb and Mint Frittata，Frittata di Briciole Menta，Puglia，意式香葉蛋餅，$48，蛋餅吃起來外圍帶點微脆，蛋身不太紮實或軟腍，口感挺不錯。蛋味雖然不算很濃烈，但少許甜甜的，相信熱一點味道會更好吃。Layered Oven Bake

Few weeks ago I walked by this restaurant on High Street and was attracted by its European country deco so decided to try the food there with my friends.Luckily I made reservation as it was full house that Thursday; having said that, the restaurant is of small size which can accommodate only about 20 people. It's cozy though, feeling like enjoying food at home.A gentleman there nicely led us to a table and gave us a name card, his title is "The Host" of the restaurant, so I suppose he is the ow
