At the first glance, I thought the curve was a fish. In Italian, Sorriso meant "". If you have zero imagination, my friend, that's a smile. We were dazzled by the seaview, but the food was far from "impressive". The following is my own, honest and sincere opinion. My friend and I failed to secure the "buy one get one free" deal at this newly opened restaurant, but I reckon it was reasonably priced for an Italian restaurant with an open view of our grand Victoria Harbour. This is my virgin commen
At the first glance, I thought the curve was a fish. In Italian, Sorriso meant "". If you have zero imagination, my friend, that's a smile. We were dazzled by the seaview, but the food was far from "impressive". The following is my own, honest and sincere opinion. My friend and I failed to secure the "buy one get one free" deal at this newly opened restaurant, but I reckon it was reasonably priced for an Italian restaurant with an open view of our grand Victoria Harbour. This is my virgin commentary, please excuse the lack of details, just for this post ;)For those who don't have the time to read my bullshit, in a nutshell, I ordered a $178 set lunch, starring pigeon with a balsamic flavoured sauce. The main course and appetizers were rubbish, but the rest, which consists of a LIVE pasta, dessert and hot chocolate, was bueno.
The other appetizers were normal, this one is the "tomato of my eye". But it only LOOKS pretty. It's stuffed with a sauce-less combination of garlic and unseasoned shrimps, left in some tomato juice. It's quite refreshing, but not my tomato. I reckon the chef should really utilize the cooked flavours of tomatoes.
This was the star - LIVE Pasta, excuse my love for the title. You get a wide selection of seafood - shrimps, mussels, clams, squid and salmon. I'd appreciate it if they can offer more sauces, but I guess the basic tomato and white sauce is sufficient. I must say that they have disappointingly tight selection of pasta. Only spaghetti and penne was available. My favourite tagliatelle was nowhere to be seen > ).
I don't exactly remember its name, but I guess it's something like blueberry balsamic pigeon
The cross section - looked like it was bleeding haha. I thought it was slightly overcooked, or probably they just don't know the best way to cook it. I didn't find the juicy-ness in Chinese BBQ pigeons that I expected. The sauce was a little dominated by the balsamic vinegar, but I thought it still made a perfect couple with the red meat.
Just wanted to post a picture of my hot chocolate.
My friend's cappuccino. As poor graduates - I took a sip. I thought it was pretty good even without sugar.
I took a messy picture of the dessert. So I decide not to post it. Just some sweets to end the meal on a sweet note : )
