First impression is really nice with elegant decoration and an awesome Terrace - Closed during lunch time unfortunately. Open kitchen on your right hand side when you arrive in the restaurant - A bit hidden though.
Tables are a too packed though and gets noisy really quickly.
Service:
Warm welcoming staff on arrival - Service is the usual HK stuff unfortunately : An army of weak service staff.
Somelier:
From New York, took time to explain a bit about the wine nose, flavors, specificities which is great since we ordered a cheap Rose wine. Wine was ok and reasonably priced (according to hk standards): 300 hkd.
Food:
> Appertizer - Combination of seafoods starters: Out of 3, 1 was outstanding (Preserved Tuna and Cannellini) 1 is ok (Baccala with Olives and Citrus), 1 was really average (Octopus and Celery)
> Pasta - Carbonara: Ok, the Pork Jowl is tasty but I would expect a more creamy sauce.
> Pasta - Ricotta Gnocchi with Fennel and Sweet Sausage: Good, but only 10 pieces.
> Pasta - Bucatini al’Amatriciana: Good, but again the portion is extremely minimalist.
Plates temperature:
Starters: Were fresh and cold enough - good point
Mains: Were definitely not warm enough, I almost rejected the carbo pastas
Damage:
700 hkd per head
Conclusion:
Overall experience is Ok Minus, Overpriced comparred to what you can get elsewhere. I'd definitely rather go to ISOLA instead for a better service and location for the same price range. Lupa's terrace is nice though, I will be back for drinks only I think.
