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 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 about the food and beverage industry in this city. Its an industry that, lets face it, leaves a lot to be desired.
I finally got a chance to eat at Posto Pubblico after many glowing reviews from friends and friends of friends. Originally hailing from Brooklyn, NYC I was very excited to hear that the owners are from my home town and hoped they brought a little of what I missed from back home - THEY NAILED IT.
Stepping into Posto Pubblico was so nostalgic for me. The decor is perfect. Very Kieth McNally / Danny Meyer (Those who dont know who these men are have no business writing on this site) I immediately felt at home. The portions, while small for some, were perfect for me so I could have "a little bit of everything"
Homemade Mozzarella at a restaurant in HK!!! I dont think ANYONE is doing that, especially replicating the taste and texture of what I always loved getting back home. I can see how people would think that it might be bland with only the faint salt taste on the outer edge, but if anyone is looking for a taste of NYC then have that cheese!
Bombardoni Pubblico...Tastes like mamma made it - perfect and a staple dish from back home!
Straw & Hay Taglionini - The best I've ever had and I've had it all over the world!
Grandma Pie - first of all I can get real pizza by the slice - FINALLY and second, it was perfect - fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce with sprinkled pecorino...I had to pinch myself!
I was so happy that they use pecorino cheese! No parmesean here! I love it.
I could go on and on, but I want to leave off with this: Finally there is a place that actually is what it says it is - They call themselves New York Italian and for this New Yorker thats exactly what they are - in every sense of the term!
These guys are doing something different for HK and for anyone who truly appreciates food, great service, and and amazing atmosphere, Posto Pubblico is a MUST TRY!
THERE IS HOPE FOR RESTAURANTS IN HK AFTER ALL!!!
