First restaurant to try at Ritz-Carlton, a classic hotel that has been closed for re-development for some years, finally re-launched earlier.Toscana, former at old Ritz-Carlton, was one of my favourite too. Have been expecting for ages, and Tosca is finally opened.Located on 102nd floor, incredible height and interior with high ceiling, dark floor with strips lighting, wine racks along the walkway, talking about 12,000 bottles and 800 labels; glass walls with ocean wave decorations from the lift

Located on 102nd floor, incredible height and interior with high ceiling, dark floor with strips lighting, wine racks along the walkway, talking about 12,000 bottles and 800 labels; glass walls with ocean wave decorations from the lift to the entrance of the restaurant, making you feeling like a focus.
Water, is the interior design theme, with fountains located in the middle and open kitchen to make the whole place lively. Seated by the window, unfortunately, the weather was too bad, serious pollution and foggy, hardly spot anything out there. Very close to the fountain, hearing the water flowing sound, natural music
A waitress and manager were assigned to serve us. Service was sincere and pleasant, newly opened restaurant, a bit nervous is normal.
Menu is user friendly, with Italian, English and Chnese, what most customers can easily understand. Divided into Appetizers, pasta, main courses and dessert. Not too long, with 6-8 choices for each categories. A very caring act is they identify which dishes have nuts, this is a major concern of whom have such allergy, which is fatal if accidententally intake anything has nut. S standas for special, and V stands for vetegarian dish, the manager explained to us in advance and introduce the specialty of some popular dishes.
They have a $900 tasting menu as well.
I chose the vege appetizer, mozzarella, kind of signature for me; paccheri and another hand-crafted pasta (looks like udon) with Italaian imported clams arrived a day ago, sweet and fresh, very nice. Sea bass and lamb chops as main courses, I love lamb chops very much! Sicilian cannoli and tiramisu as dessert choices. Overall is nice, not impressive while there are indeed other high standard Italian restaurants out there.
Wine cannot be missed for sure, wine list is long with penty of good choices.
Prices are reasonable in such luxury hotel, pasta is about $220, main courses are within $400.
