我今日约左朋友去伊道食野，之前有個朋友話伊道Ｄ野食唔錯，所以就去試下。

挪威煙三文魚什菜沙律、個汁酸酸辣辣好開胃、
煙三文魚好新鮮好有煙熏既風味、而蔬菜又新
鮮又爽口 ！

海鮮天使麵、全部海鲜都好新鮮size適中、廚師煮得剛剛好保持到Ｄ海鲜仍很嫩,有鮮味-意粉亦非常好味Ｄ汁好好味。又唔會好淋好有質感又爽口彈口。

BBQ Spare Ribs都好有燒烤風味、Ｄ肉都好淋都唔
差最正係個汁好味呀！

不想吃盒飯的日子，幸好還有Al dente，為我準備一餐豐盛又美味的午飯。

午市的意式香草包其實沒啥吃頭，冷冷的乾乾的，好在有黑醋與橄欖油這對好搭檔加分。
湯與沙律二選一，湯是carrot soup，湯底較稀，沒有厚重的忌廉，帶點清淡的紅蘿蔔香，是比較清新的一款湯。沙律是煙三文魚沙律，煙三文魚只是兩小片而已，但沙律菜新鮮爽口，配上酸甜開胃的黑醋，又是健康又美味的前菜。

主菜吃過三款：
Salami Pizza：不得不說，這裡做pizza是強項，餅底相當薄，中間軟身有嚼頭而四圍脆口，餡料融合了水牛芝士、莎樂美腸、蕃茄醬，即有莎樂美腸的脂香，又有蕃茄醬的酸爽，令人滿足而不膩。
Grilled beef tenderloin：要的7分熟，但成品似乎近乎與well done了，不過因為牛肉用料上乘，即使如此仍不失為佳餚，牛味香濃肉質筋斗有彈性，不會吃得人滿口纖維。
Sole fish fillet：比目魚被烤得外皮微酥，魚肉卻是嫩滑鮮美，底層的薯泥也不簡單，淺淺的牛油香沒有遮住薯仔的光輝，薯香突出又口感軟滑，點上黑椒後尤為美味。

甜品和咖啡又是二選一，甜品是一款小的可憐的tiramisu配vanilla雪糕，風味正宗，有香濃的咖啡酒提味，面頭的mascarpone芝士軟滑香濃，但份量不足，以手指餅居多。咖啡香濃而奶沫柔滑細膩，也是不錯的提神之選。

工作得累的時候就來Al Dente吃一個飽滿又美味的午餐，這裡確是最好不過的午間加油站。可惜join不到食友開的晚餐飯局，其實晚市更加引人，午餐畢竟選擇太少，下次再拉朋友來試晚市吧。

今日去灣仔睇D電腦嘢,原本想去三里屯大D果間食,點知身水身汗咁行到去先知佢執咗喎,簡直係晴天霹靂........唯有行返去謝斐道喇....
可能今日係SUNDAY喇,我哋1:30去到非但唔使等,仲要大把位喎.我叫咗PASTA OF THE DAY,花老嘢要RIBEYE STEAK,老嘢個SET跟SOUP,我就要SALAD.先唻餐包,依然好味,個底脆脆哋,包個TEXTURE似似哋CAKE,SOUP係西蘭花湯,而SALAD就係CASEAR,冇咩特别好唔好味.
主菜等咗AROUND10分鐘就有喇,今次最快以往平日LUNCH TIME冇20分鐘都唔駛指意有得食!PASTA係雜菜炒意粉,炒得唔算太乾身,再少D汁好D,意場粉都淋咗少少,不過整體都係OK嘅.試咗一小舊老嘢D STEAK,好淋不過有D炭燒味好味~~~SIDE DISH係雜菜(又係雜菜)同埋著蓉,應該都唔差.
今日因為人客唔多,D嘢食又出得快,我同老嘢唔駛食得好趕,可以慢慢食.下次都係假日先食LU....

慶祝節日，來了這裡。三里屯分店裝修中，來了謝斐道這裡。店不大，枱放得好密，坐得不太舒服，跟後面枱幾乎背貼背。有set dinner，不過5個人，還是a la carte好了。前菜要兩款，主菜要兩款，pizza意粉各一款，應該夠了。

前菜要的係雜錦拼盤同埋哈蜜瓜火腿，雜錦拼盤真的很雜，印象中冇咩凸出，很一般。用上的哈蜜瓜唔夠甜，巴拿馬火腿咸味不夠，可以更好既哈蜜瓜火腿。兩款前菜也一般，下次都係要返個較為穩陣既沙津算吧。

主菜係燒春雞同埋三文魚帶子，燒春雞係個人喜好，所以都會周圍去試下，這裡的雞水準很雞，肉食落韌，連雞脾位都韌，另上個磨菇汁可有可無，救唔返隻雞。三文魚帶子係另一選，三文魚煎得剛好，用上的亦較肥，食得過的一款前菜。

知道呢到pizza不錯，要的係四式芝士薄餅，四款芝士mix埋加個蕃茄醬，香味十足，不過蕃茄醬略微重手左，薄餅皮夠薄夠脆，硬身的，pizza真的做得不錯，有大中細size供應，很不錯。

不要意大利飯要的係磨菇雞柳闊條麵，份量不少的，蕃茄醬始終較開胃，多又如何呢。雞柳比之前的燒雞肉更好食，係穩陣之選。

甜品要了三款，焦糖香蕉蛋糕，真係有香蕉係個餅底之上，食落較為甜。Mixed Berry Crumble，本身不多喜歡berry個味，不過個crumble真的焗得很脆。心太軟有裂痕穿穿地，入面朱古力醬味好濃唔苦，裡面較軟身，是不錯的。

Pizza意粉很不錯的，值得一試，服務也不錯的，可以加點分數，不過地方淺窄，要扣點分數，不過也是很滿意的一餐。

兩個人, 叫左個意大利雲吞, 1個set dinner ( 1個湯+bread+pizza+dessert+drink), 再額外加多個豬仔骨

1) 意大利雲吞 - 90分, sauce好好, 再加上濃而不"漏"既cheese, 非常好味! around HK$90
2) Set Dinner, around $195
a) Soup + Bread
個湯 & Bread OK, 不過我就覺得個bread太咸, 70分。
b) Main Dish
有around 5 or 6 款, 可以order spaghetti, pizza, etc. 我地叫左個Hawaii pizza, 餅底好薄, 芝士味濃, 好味! 85分
c) Dessert + drink
Chocolate Cake + Ice Cream. 因為我地已經太飽, 只係食左少少, OK, 不過不失, 75分
** 3) 豬仔骨 (不可不試) around $150
廚師用左30分鐘製成, 入口即溶, 加上美味的sauce, 再配搭大大份薯條, 簡直係我食咁多豬仔骨以黎最好食既一間!!! 95分!!!

Unexpected POOR Service

I travelled to Al Dente from Cheung Chau Island and it gave me an extremely poor experience, especially today is my Birthday.

I am Chinese. My English is not good but I do believe that at least I can understand some simple English, such as “please”, “excuse me”, and etc.

My girl friend and I arrived to in front of door of Al Dente, the waiter just pointed me to the table and went away without give us water or menu. At first, I thought he may be busy, so I asked for the menu from other waiter.

After we ordered the food, there was still no water for us until we asked for it. It was the first time I need to ask for water in Italian restaurant.

Apart from that, the waiters just put the food and/or cleaned up the table without saying a word.
If there is no introduction tell the name of what he/she just put on our table, at least say “excuse me” or “please” . It is impolite and unrespectable.

I believe that I visit a restaurant is not only enjoy the food but also the atmosphere and the service there. However, what they showed me is unrespectable.
I will never visit this restaurant after that and I hope to share this poor experience to all of you.

al dente是好友們口中時時話想食的地方
今次我倆找到合時機會去了

坐位不多
好像去了外國一般，很悠閑
環境很正，燈暗暗的，幾浪漫

餐包，是蛋糕口感的，很香又夠新鮮熱辣，勝于普通牛油多士餐包許多
soup of the day是南瓜湯，不會很桀，甜甜的很不錯
Pollo Picata，即是地中海雞扒，我認為是最好吃的一個，雞胸是嫩滑的，一點都不會有肥肥的感覺，爽口開胃
Beef Tenderolin，比想像中差點，因為有點過熟，肉可能太瘦，但味道不錯
chocolate fudge cake，chocolate好像不是cake而是brownie，個人來講ok brownie的，但和同伴一致認為同名在pizzaexpress食過的chocolate fudge cake好食一點，nevertheless，cake旁的ice-cream都唔錯
Tiramisu，咖啡有苦味，成個糕又有橙酒味，好食
coffee，有咖啡油，ok

refreshing的一頓。

頭先剛剛吃完晚餐, 但真係令人失望!!

1. 揀呢間餐廳0既原因, 係因為睇完呢度0既comment, 覺得唔錯, 所以好有expectation 咁去食, 仲已經揀哂呢度推介0既野食, 但都強差人意!

2. 頭先食左: garlic bread, salmon salad, four cheese pasta, beef tanderloin. 最好食0既竟然係個唔洗錢0既garlic bread , salmon salad 都不過不失, 不過新鮮vege 可以難食得去邊?

3. Four chesses pasta : 我真係真係食極都食唔出D cheese 味 , 乜最近D cheese 好貴咩?? 使唔使咁慳?? 好食0既 four cheese pasta 係好重cheese 味, 但食得出唔同cheese 0既 香味, 但呢度我只見到好多好希0既白汁, 一D都唔似加左cheese 後杰0既效果, 食左半碟就停左!

4. breef tenderloin: 個牛真係好普通, 都算喇, 點解叫medium well, 但係出面可以濃得咁緊要, 出面係好苦Lor, 你睇到會覺得食左佢之後會生cancer 果隻! 都係食左一半!! 仲有係佢個汁, 只令我覺得同大X樂個黑椒汁係無分別, 突然覺得"大X樂" 原來水準高左咁多?!!

5. 講埋環境, 真係迫到呢..........同隔離好似撘枱咁........ 間鋪好細, 原來你座走廊位, D 人得過係會撞到你Lor!!

6. 埋單: $550 for two , dinner

7. 好想知係間餐廳水準差左, 定係之前寫食評0既人唔係食開西餐呢?? 因為之前係外國住, 自己得閒有煮西餐, 亦都知道乜叫好想0既西餐& 意大利菜! 如果呢度都叫好食, 咁我只可以講係我唔鐘意hk fusion 0既意大利菜!!

五十四週月的紀念日，男友一早預訂了位~
六時半的晚餐，我們準時到達

待應十分殷勤，首先放下 menu
有 set dinner、menu、wine list
我們兩個人 order 了 一個前菜，一個 pizza，一個意粉

意式冷拼盆
材料豐富而新鮮，煙三文魚，salami 腸，prama ham，軟芝士，檻欖，青黃椒，茄子
prama ham 不會很咸，切得很 thin，很香
煙三文魚除了煙薰味還有魚的鮮味~肉質很滑
茄子最令我喜出望外，充滿香草的香味，咬下去有香濃的 oilver oil 香

Pizza
叫了一個配料有 ham 及 cheese 的 pizza (忘了名字 )
餅底又香又脆，薄薄的芝士焗至金黃，一咬下去拉出一絲絲溶化的芝士
餅底脆得像餅乾一樣，一定要趁熱食
waiter 很細心在落 order 時問我們要那種 size
最後兩個人要了 medium，6 slice

忌廉汁雙蝦天使麵
食完拼盆及 pizza 後，waiter 先幫我們換碟，再落 order 叫廚房準備意粉
即叫即整的味道十分好
蝦不會 over cook，天使麵軟硬適中
忌廉汁初睇有點稀，但臨尾天使麵吸乾了汁就顯得有點乾
意粉味道好，不過卻有點膩了
可能因為三個餸都滿佈芝士吧

最後還是受不了引誘，order 了一個 tirimisu
很香的咖啡味，手指餅只有外層吸了咖啡，內裡的質地十分鬆軟
薄薄的芝士再加上黑朱古力粉
沒有加重胃的負荷卻為整頓晚餐畫上完滿的句號

午飯時間在灣仔游走找吃的，最後還是來了口碑不俗的Al Dente。等了十多分鐘才有位，餓得發瘋，立即點了兩份午餐。

House Bread (garlic and herbs)
自己對香草麵包一向麻麻，而且不夠熱、不夠新鮮，吃了一口便放棄，無謂浪費胃納。

Daily Soup - Carrot Soup
味道清淡，湯底挺稀，但又不是太差，可以接受。

Smoked Salmon Salad
煙三文魚未見得是上等貨，但新鮮的沙律菜加上一流的黑醋，仍然好吃。

Grilled Beef Tenderloin
牛柳本身質素高，沒有下太多調味已超好吃！強烈推介。

Daily Pizza - Salami
即叫即造，無論餅底、芝士、辣肉腸、茄醬都配合得恰到好處，加上烹煮得宜，絕對沒過火，吃起來只有兩個字：滿足！

Apple Crumble with Ice cream
離奇地，雲呢嗱雪糕和蘋果批也不太甜，也不會下勁多肉桂，幾對口味。

Coffee
其實是不喝咖啡的我，只想嗅嗅它、醒醒神。

店員友善勤快，一定有下次。

i left Al Dente without having dinner there tonight cos i thought i deserved a better table, booked 7 days earlier.

i booked the table last friday, looking forward to having great food after a week's hard work with my best friends. But what did they do? they gave me the worst table, the one placed at the verge of the restaurant and the street, with air-conditioning blowing hard on your hair on one side and hot air greeting you on the other.

Requesting to change to another table, i was told 'other tables also booked' and got rejected. Sitting down and feeling the converging hot and cold air, i decided i had had enough. we just left, telling the waiter we were leaving.

Thanks for the nice memory.

見呢間食評好,就去試下.
呢晚早到,所以冇book 都仲有位,
由於間餐廳好細, 我地坐底1陣 好快冇哂位啦~~

叫左 杯cocktail, 青口, 羊扒, 四式芝士菠菜麵, 海鮮意大利飯

lychee cocktail : 好難飲,似藥水味...so 只係飲左幾啖
青口 : 有好多配料煮,味道都ok
羊扒 : 1 條條好幼既, 味道勁差!!!!!
四式芝士菠菜麵: 最好味係呢個芝士菠菜麵, 好creamy,夠芝士味~
海鮮意大利飯 : d 飯煮到1 ' pat pat' ....完全唔係 risotto

呢間餐廳太細, 同旁邊既餐桌距離好近(其實好有搭 '枱' feel ), 想傾計又傾唔到 ,
食物唔好味, 價錢唔平, 自己就唔會再去啦~~

It's what we call a complete lunch-starts with a soup, followed by main course and dessert.
Lunch sets are good treat, a bargainning price, $88 plus 10% service charge.
My friend and I arrived after 2, shunning the busy office lunch hour, so environment is so much easier and quieter.
A relaxing mood prevades there, with jazz music and dim lights on.
The soup of the day was mushroom soup. It wasn't a surprise but it's not bad. If you think a soup is too much for a lunch, you may opt for salad.
I chose fish fillet and my friend ordered pizza-one of the signature dishes at the shop together with pasta.
The fish is a real delight. Exquisitely served, tasty and generous in portion. It comes with a sour sauce; and side dishes include mash potato, sweet potato, baked carrot, peppers and asparagus. I recommend this dish.

My friend ordered pizza of the day, which was pepperoni. Not bad but the fish is better.

Dessert is chocolate fudge with icecream. Freshly baked, it was still warm when served on table. Sweet and rich in chocolate. Though I'm not a chocolate freak, and more often then not I think chocolate was too sweet for me, it was afterall a great thing to finish a meal.

It was a great place to spend time and have a chat with a friend.
Staff are friendly.
But do come before 3pm, they are official closed from 3 -6 pm.

I think the one bad thing about the meal is, you will get really full and content and drowsiness will hit right after the meal-considering having just had a high-carbo dessert. My friend and I were so sleepy that we gave up our afternoon plan and went stright home for a nap.

Btw, the name of the shop, Al Dente, Italian, means pasta cooked to the degree firm to bite. Will try out their pasta next time.

一個月前~
與老公仔第一次去左公司附近呢間意大利餐廳吃晚餐
本來仲有兩個朋友仔一齊gei~~ 點知佢地後來黎唔到...
結果由book左4位改左兩位~~
可能平日關係，而且我book左7點都仲早~
所以即日改都仲ok^^

放工之就老公仔接埋我就一齊搵搵~ 沿謝菲道行好易就搵到了~
而且同事教過我太約係邊，所以一睇就搵到喇

到達時未到7點~ 不過waiter都比我地入左去~
佢地個個都係講英文ka!! 英文麻麻gei你要學番一兩句先好去囉~ 哈哈

果時場內仲未有人~ 隔左一陣都係黎左兩個似乎基基地gei男性=.="
坐低左之後，我地即刻就睇睇menu食咩好呢?
menu都係全英文~ 好彩我地睇得明

最後揀左menu中推介gei菜式
一個Salmon Salad, 一個Pizza同一個菠菜芝士闊條面~
再加多兩杯wine~ 一杯red一杯white~ (由於推介做緊promotion一杯中$45咋^0^)

坐左一陣~ waitress先送上一籃麵包~
我地第一次食呢重好似蛋糕咁gei麵包咋~ 加上果隻特製醬汁好match啊
Salmon Salad: 好夠份量，材料十足! 有生菜及椰菜、車厘茄、欖子、椒子...加上主角Salmon~ 真係好味道! 配上外國沙律專用汁，好fresh!
Pizza: 係中size薄批~ 可以有大、中、小任揀ka! 不過我個人覺得中size都夠兩人食喇~ 食得太多食唔到第2d野食ka喇=P 不過味道就沒有特別~
菠菜芝士闊條面: 芝士汁非常濃郁 其實蓋過晒其他材料gei味道~ 不過面條好夠dente補番數^^ 整體而言好味ka!
兩杯wine都好gd~~ 下次可試下其他款式!!

雖然店面不太寬闊，而且門口對住就係坐位~ 有點open...
不過坐係入面感覺有點置身外國~ 幾中意
而且waiter同waitress服務態度亦唔錯^^
所以我一定會再光顧

最緊要係食左咁多好野~ 埋單都只係$371~ 好抵啊

之前去過呢度兩次，兩次都覺得超乎想像咁好食，但係呢次去，叫左個炭燒牛柳同碟意粉，唔知點解D味度好似普通左，D牛柳好多筋，咬到口攰都唔斷。同埋覺得D味道好似濃左，食到覺得有D漏。

以後唔會再專登去了。
