Il Padrino is perched on the wrong alley of the area of Lan Kwai Fong: you would need a guide map to show you the way. But its less than prominent location means it is not crowded most of the time, and indeed is a nice little escape from the hectic streets in Central. Had sole fillet for lunch and the cooking was good. The bread and salad before was of good quality.

Had sole fillet for lunch and the cooking was good. The bread and salad before was of good quality. The coffee that followed met my expectation, though it was still not anywhere close to being a true cup of Italian coffee. A pleasant thing is that the price is just HK$100 for a two-course lunch plus drinks. So it's a good price/quality ratio.
Frankly nowhere in Hong Kong can I find coffee that tastes anywhere close to the one that I could sip at any respectable coffee bars in Italy, France, or Spain. Starbacks, Cova and the likes cannot meet the exacting demands of coffee aficionados. Coffee beans sold in HK are just too run of the mill.
Also had dinner there. The atmosphere was warm as the restaurant is literally at the end of a cul-de-sac, close to a shabby and filthy public park and a shrine of an unknown god. Though it took a bit of time for the italian pizza to come, it tasted good. But then it didn't appear to look or taste like authentic Italian dishes (well, I know this is HK). My friend ordered some spagehetti and her comment was "above average".
I did not expect more. After all, it is hard to find any true Italian restaurant in HK. Il Padrino has already done a respectable job of bringing me memories of the great time in Venice, Milan, Rome...
