The casatella cheese appetizer was reminiscent of Da Domenico's grilled scamorza (also served with aged balsamic vinegar) but accompanied by assorted grilled veg which were quite sweet & fresh. The cheese itself was not quite as good as Da Domenico's scamorza but considering the fact that it is priced lower even with the range of yummy grilled veg, it does not seem wrong to order it here. The pastas, although not the best in town, are decent and probably above the standards of most so-called

The pastas, although not the best in town, are decent and probably above the standards of most so-called Italian restaurants in Hong Kong. However they did not exactly leave much impression so I'm not going to say any further than "not bad!".
Dessert was a tad too boring for a restaurant on the fancier side of the spectrum. The way things were presented seemed to show effort but an unfortunate lack of skill. Tastewise they were "ok" but seriously, nothing more than "ok". It simply didn't have the "wow" factor that ends a meal on a high note.
All in all a reasonably good restaurant, worth a visit when you crave something Italian but not outrageously expensive. The chilled out atmosphere and availability of outdoor tables also makes Gaia more suitable for casual dinners with friends than hotel-nested restaurants which can be stuffy at times.
