Worst Italian food in hk? I've never been more surprised at how wrong the reviews are. Maybe it's new owners? Maybe, since they are moving locations, there is a temporary step down in quality? Whatever it is, while service was nice the food tasted like it was either microwaved or hardly cooked. If this place was decently priced it would be ok at best but for the premium charged I'm calling this unfortunately the worst Italian in hk.

Cosy Italian restaurant with good service, ordered beef tartare and a beef broth for starters and two pasta for the main. Ordered half a bottle of house white wine. Beef tartare was good, but the sweet mayonnaise that comes with it really did not compliment the raw beef, it rather covered the raw beef taste. Beef broth was ok, since I have never tried other similar soup, cannot compare Home made pasta with shrimps with saffron cream, the cream was way too creamy and there was lack of saffron taste, and this cream really did not go well with the shrimp nor the thin pasta. And the pasta was not al dente for Italian standard. Very disappointed Home made pasta with ragu sauce made of 3 kinds of mince meat was also disappointing, the sauce was way too sweet and all I could taste was sweetness. Pasta was not al dente to Italian standard neither. The whole meal came to around $1200 HKD and it was very overpriced for the quality of food.

This place used to be great and probably still is but there’s one waiter (the guy who isn’t the owner and his wife) that absolutely ruins the experience for me. I’ve had better service from waiters in 茶餐廳 than this guy. He couldn’t even be bothered to explain the specials on my birthday and just pointed to the board. Even though we were the only people in the restaurant he kept trying to sneak up and grab our plates. Would love to come again if the owners are here though. Just writing this in hopes that they notice.

Avo mix crab meat Very light and refreshing appetiser to start the night The crab is not overwhelmed by the avocado Some soft shells found in the tartare But don worry too much since they are eatable Lasagne smells so good when served Better eat when hot as the pasta will turn hard when cold

Visited with kids on Saturday and ordered weekend set menu. Very good quality and price. Especially enjoyed zucchini with stracciatella cheese. Willing to visit again for dinner and wine

My friend really really enjoys Italian cuisine so we decided to visit this restaurant in central! It’s slightly hidden upstairs in The Loop but it’s a gem! From the service, to the food, everything is amazing, plus the food satisfied our cravings! ☺️🤤 Upon arrival, we were welcomed with the scrumptious garlic bread which was cut into the perfect bite sized bits. And then, the server recommended their special white wine which we tried and ended up LOVING. We ordered the four cheese gnocchi, grilled pork chop and tiramisu. Everything tasted so good that writing about it makes me wanna go back! The gnocchi wasn’t too hard or chewy, and it was so cheesy and satisfying! It would’ve been extra perfect with another pinch of black pepper hehe! The pork chop is one of their signatures and I’m so glad we got it because it was delicious! The tiramisu was the perfect ending to this meal, topped off with chocolate crinkles, and a layer of ladyfingers at the bottom!

This charming Italian eatery offers classic Italian cuisine in a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Perfect for a romantic dinner. Their wallet-friendly dinner set menu features a starter, a main, a dessert and a drink, and ranges from $368 to $408. You can even enjoy a glass of house wine with the set! The dessert of the day, [ pastiera ], was a highlight of the meal. It is a traditional Italian dessert usually eaten during Easter. Not commonly found in Italian restaurants in HK! A great way to end the meal with a subtle sweetness! Come try it during the upcoming Easter holiday! 🐣 〔 Follow me on instagram @sikbaobaola ! ^^ 〕

The place is good and romantic We went there to celebrate my birthday they had excellent service and very good taste of foods that you can enjoy for every bite you take❤️

An hearty small Italian restaurant in the heart of Central Lan Kwai Fon right across from famous Yung Kee. According to owner it’s been opened for 3 years, place is not fancy , but cozy, warm reception, Chris the owner served us! A bottle of rossi was recommended for the dishes, developed as dishes served.Appetiser prawn seafood homemade pasta, sea bass in dirty water & the signature thick pork chop. Pasta was exceptional good, so good I think it should be served in larger portion. Sea bass was not the freshest, bit on dry side, but the dirty sauce made up the flaw. Pork chop was tender & tasty, but lacks identity to be signature dish. Don’t take me wrong, 3 dishes were delicious we had to order an extra gnocchi to satisfy our greedy tongue🤭 I skipped desert for my friend to have 2, very creamy Panna cotta he claimed! It’s a tasty dinner, a bit more attention to the dishes will enhance reason for return. Romantic little shop for lovers & couples, I enjoyed it!

Whilst it is a bit pricey, the staff here are always wonderful and the food delicious. I love how there are always different specials on the menu to try. And don't forget to get the staff to recommend you a glass of wine (or two!). Great for a low key night out.

The most disappointing meal ever. Food is overpriced - $286 for a mouthful of duck ragu pasta which is overpowered by rosemary and overly sweet. The lasagna is worse which is dry and seasoned with this weird spice which does not taste traditionally Italian (tasted like Chinese five spice). We left within 15 mins and had to go somewhere else for a second dinner. Should have gone to Pici…🥲

Top Italian restaurant with a family run feel. The food here is really incredible. Starters, pasta, mains and dessert all have a unique edge to them and the wine list has been picked by hand to match the menu. Armando and Ibe who manage and host the restaurant have truly succeeded in keeping a homely feel to the place without compromising on anything else.

Lovely helpful staff and delicious food. Warm atmosphere and Italian staff. Was fairly quiet when I went at 9pm. Smallish rotating menu.

Had heard that this restaurant was very authentically Italian but I did not find the food to be that authentic. I’m guessing the original restaurant, which was in Sai Ying Pun, used to be awesome and the reviews were for that and ever since the location has changed, maybe the ownership has too?

True Italian restaurant, another hidden gem in Hong Kong new Soho area.

Cosy, warm Italian place with very homey, comforting food. Everything is lovingly prepared by hand. Serving staff are sweet, relaxed and know the menu very well.

Italia at its best! We had such a nice time, starting with a warm welcome from the staff + owner. The recommendations on food and wine were perfect and the quality of the food was outstanding: fresh ingredients (talk about home made pasta!), well presented and super delicious! We’ll definitely come back!
