Fiat Caffè  

My previous dining experience in Fiat was, frankly speaking, good but hardly memorable. Even the famous fig with ricotta cheese failed to persuade me to come back. However, I found that many foodies tried its new menu these days; some of the new dishes look pretty appealing.

To begin with, we had French Beans, Goat Cheese Walnuts and Balsamic Bianco Salad. These were all usual ingredients of my home-made salad. Fresh French beans, creamy and tangy goat cheese, and walnuts was a classic, if a bit conservative, combination. The French beans were well cooked and crunchy. The portion of Balsamic Bianco dressing was perhaps so generous that some may not like it, however. A little bit of fine-tuning would make it a good appetizer.

Fiat Caffè是在Fiat汽車陳列室內的一間意式餐廳，以汽車為主題，並供應一系列意式小吃。我很喜歡Fiat Caffè各式的意粉，食物整體而言都是有水準的。店舖面積小，不算闊落，但食物價錢不貴，而且不收加一服務費，是銅鑼灣的一個好去處。

We Hong Kongers love nothing more than a bit of gimmicks, and Fiat Caffè, an Italian cafe at the car brand Fiat's showroom in Hong Kong, is definitely abound with novelty factor. This cafe opened in September 2012, and is located on Leighton Road, just off the heart of the shopping area of Causeway Bay.

Fiat Caffè, catered by Swire Hotels, is a small venue which only accommodates up to around 20 people. The brightly-lit restaurant has a casual set-up which overlooks the street views of Causeway Bay. As this is a cafe as opposed to a proper restaurant, the majority of the dishes are simple and light. Many ingredients are imported from Italy, and the cafe also serves illy coffee. Reservations can be made for dinner, but not for lunch or afternoon tea, and I was invited to have dinner at the restaurant to try some of the new items on the menu.

(1) We started off with the Ricotta, figs, white truffle honey and olive oil ($95). The ingredients of the salad were not chopped up, so we had to do a bit of cutting and slicing ourselves. The figs were fresh and juicy, and the ricotta cheese and creamy and alluring. There was a mild, sensuous taste of white truffle and I wished it was a tad stronger!

Thanks to the lovely cheerful team at Fiat for inviting me to try their new Italian dishes.

Yes, we went over to Fiat Caffe for chaser after the big brunch at Fung Shing this morning.
We ordered coffee, cappuccino and assortment of Italian cookies. Coffee and cappuccino arrived first. They were ok, nothing to brag about except they offered top quality La Perruche sugar which i must give them credit for attention to details. (one 5 star hotel in town use packed sugar...) BUT Wait..the Italian cookies were outstanding. The macaroons with chocolate mousse dipped in dark chocolate was heavenly- not too sweet with great almond flavor. The fruit biscotti had interesting texture which when dipped in coffee, was made for each other. The cone shaped almond macaroons tasted honest and not some look alike as in other shops.

Go for the Italian cookies when you visit this cute coffee shop.

Feeling fatigue and drowsy after getting my new pair of glasses in Causeway Bay and on medication due to foot injuries. So this time we would like to have a meal in a relaxing environment just like that in Fiat Caffé.

Fiat as you all may have known is an Italian car brand and it opened a café in the middle of Causeway Bay!! The café is so close to Time Square where all the hustle and bustling are and I cannot believe such oasis exists until Adorable leads me to the place. The place is where a car dealer situated and the café itself is covered up by the cars outside (so that’s why no one finds this spot!!! ). The place is very tranquil and we are the second pair of customers in the café. The cuisine served in the café is Italian, and we ordered: A dinner set including: 1) Broad beans dill Risotto, 2) Minestrone, 3) Italian salad and Branded gelato (XTC: One of our favorite ice cream brands!) and a meat ball with extra tomato sauce dill risotto.
The Minestrone came first and the portion is small but of good quality . Italian salad is okay and not much special. However, the broad beans dill Risotto and the meat ball with extra tomato sauce dill risotto are al dente . The sauce is rich in flavor and rice is very tangy . Meat balls are handmade and you will never feel that it is the type that you taken from the refrigerator . After we had the main dishes, Adorable enjoyed her Gelato and I had order a nice cup of mocha after meal. The experience is fine and relaxing as we are surrounded by expensive cars in a quiet place and in a bustling Causeway Bay.

We were here early so we didn't have to wait for a long time.

The spaghetti was one of the few mains that were available in the menu. the taste is normal, portion is average size, not very big / too small.

I had a pan fried salmon, it was cooked to the right tenderness, but the portion for this main was not very filling.

we didn't order any dessert / coffee, as we didn't have a very good experience from the main.

Because I was looking at what others are eating and then it looks better than it taste. Overall the meal size was smaller than average, and the selection are limited.
I would recommend you to come to try it once. Not going to come back in the near future. Got a lot of other good restaurant that is much better than here.

heard that this a combined showroom and restaurant , so we gave it a try. there were 3 cars o display. quite interesting though we are not Fiat fans.

fig, recotta cheese & honey:
the ingredients were perfect match. it's nth special if u taste individual ingredients alone, but it's indeed delicious if u mix and eat them together! a pity that the figs were not sweet though. more honey preferred.

see bass with mixed vegetables:
the fish was nice and crispy with the sauce i like (oilve oil + balsamic vinegar). love it!

iced chocolate:
strong chooclate flavour. good.

a pity that they 漏單, 沒有落pasta ge order....

the service was good. waiters had good smile

by the way, the tables for 2 people are too small...

I'm not a fan of Fiat, nor do I understand what cafe has to do with cars or vice versa. But since the reviews all seem positive, I thought there was no harm in giving it a try, especially when the comment of "good coffee" caught my eye.

So here I am this sunny afternoon, walking into a car showroom for my lunch.

The cafe was half empty at 12.30 but quickly filled up in the next 10 minutes or so. We had a 4-person table which was frankly a little challenging even for us 4 petite signoras. Hence, it was surprising to see a lot of male customers, I guess the car theme is just irresistable.

After a quick scan of the menu, I decided to opt for the set lunch. At $95, one gets soup or salad, a choice of pasta dish, tea/coffee. Dessert is $30 extra.My smoked duck and arugula salad was good: fresh veg, right amount of dressing, decent amount of leaves and meat.

The slightly spicy fusilli with chorizo was tasty. The pasta was al dente, and it even had freshly grated parmesan on top. But but but why such a small portion? Decidedly un-Italian in that respect. I glanced around and wondered once again how men could put up with the portions. My friend ordered a panini from the a la carte menu and the surface of that panini was no bigger than 2 iPhones. If "diet queen" said it was small, then IT WAS SMALL... So the "small is beautiful" philosophy applies to the entire menu it seems.I had no choice but to order the daily dessert which turned out to be a dry and (yes) tiny piece of chocolate cake, it was no bigger than 2"x3"x1". As for the coffee, my espresso was ok, but friend's iced latte was yummy.

The quality of the food is really not bad here, but come on, inflight meal portion is just bordering on ridiculous.

I have been waiting for it to open for a long time. Finally went in to have a try for the first time yesterday.

First arrived and warmly welcomed by cafe staff . The menu has a number of choices, but very easy to follow. The items are not pricey at all, actually compared to others, quite cheap. $25 for a cup of latte is far better than the others. I have ordered a meatball riso and a cup of latte. The meatball riso is their signature dish, and it is very good!!!. The combination of sweet and sour of the pasta sauce is excellent. Of course, can't miss out the meatball, they are juicy and full of herbal aroma. Though this is my first time having riso, I fall in love with this type of pasta. It is just so good, definitely an recommeded item! 果然名不虚傳! ........Shame on me....forgot to take photos of the pasta.


Other than the pasta, the latte is also graded A+. I love the milk they use for the latte, so smooth and blended very well with the coffee. The presentation is amazing, the latte art always make me feel loved. Overall, staff is very nice, always attentive, food and coffe exceed expectation. I will definitely go back. Like

Heard a lot of good comment on this Caffe and so asked my friend to go with me.
- daily soup was ok
- cold cut platter was ok - the best was the pickled
- risotto was cold and very italian style (hard)
- fish was good!
didn't stayed for dessert as everything was just ok.
it wasn't bad but just not as good as i expected... plus everything is about tomato...
