Piadina  

We decided to try Piadina because of a groupon. The deal was:

$138 for Two: Classic 5-Course Italian Set w/ Pasta, Risotto & More, $258 Extra Wine at Piadina Simply Eatalian (Valued up to $475)"

It was a typical two-for-one deal.

The set menu had only three courses. We showed the server that the groupon said five courses and she said this was a mistake on the part of Groupon.

The first course was an appetizer plate. The second was a piadina, and the third was a pasta.

Then she said we could order only one piadina and one pasta to split, which seemed to be no deal at all. When I pointed out that the groupon was two for one and asked if the portions were enough for two people she quickly said, "I can see that you are confused. You can each order a piadina and a pasta."

We have bought quite a few groupons before for other restaurants. This was the first time the "deal" was so confusing. The protracted discussion about what the groupon said and what the restaurant was intending to deliver was off-putting.

The appetizer plate and pasta were ok. I would go back for a piandina for lunch. That was unusual and tasty. The regular price for a piadina is reasonable.

I was reading a food magazine when a page introducing this restaurant totally caught my attention. It says about this place exclusively serves something called piadina in Hong Kong. I figured that none of the Italian restaurants in Hong Kong serves such dish, and I was genuinely curious about it. Moreover, it also says it's an Italian restaurant with a very economical price, so why not give it a shot?
I arrived this restaurant, namely Piadina simply eatalian. Seeing the word ‘eatalian’ simply make me smile. The restaurant was not big, and it was half outdoors as there are bar tables and seats facing directly toward the street. The setting was cozy and comfortable, with red bricks and an open kitchen, much like a deli. Perhaps it's the American pop songs being played behind, it also feels a kind of hippy place. They didn't blast the music loud, just playing it softly behind, creating a completely comfy atmosphere to chill.
Its menu is pretty simple, mainly divided into Piadina, Panini, Pasta & Risotto, Salads, and Cold Cuts & Cheese. It feels very different to those at decent Italian restaurants. This is more like an authentic Italian restaurant around a neighborhood.
I need not to think twice about ordering their exclusive specialty here - the piadina.
Piadina is a thin flat bread from the Romagna. Considered as a healthy food, it is made with natural ingredients: flour, olive oil, milk and salt. Its roots date back to the ancient Roman tradition. This unleavened bread appeared when the Romans farmed their first cereal and used the derived flour from barley to prepare it. It was said that farmers ate piadina instead of bread during hard times of famine. The famous Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli speaks of it in one of his poems, “simple, holy bread of the poor…which is eaten with country herbs”. Over the years, piadina has integrated in the food and wine tradition of the Emilia-Romagna region.
I ordered their Classica Piadina ($50), which includes parma ham and mozzarella cheese. Not only are there savory choices, there's also one that is sweet, with hazelnut chocolate spread or jam.
So this piadina dish is sort of like a thin pita bread, with filling in between two pieces. It was freshly baked, and I loved the aroma of the freshly baked bread. The hot bread and ham and cheese is definitely satisfying. It's savory and pretty light, with a softly rigid texture. It's absolutely one great snack to have.Then I ordered a risotto as well, the Risotto al Parmigiano ($85) , aka aged parmesan creamy risotto.
