Introduction
Another great venue for your parties or intimate dining experiences.
Born and raised in Cremona, Italy, Alberto showed precocious interest in cooking, so much so that at age 14, he enrolled himself into the five-year diploma program at Istituto Statale Professionale Alberghiero, a Hotel and Catering College in San Pellegrino Terme in the Province of Bergamo in Lombardy.
Alberto’s wanderlust and desire to hone his skills and broaden his culinary knowledge took him all over Italy, to Chicago, back to the UK , then on to Hong Kong.
In 2006, Michelin Star Chef Harlan hired Alberto to open Tuscany by H in Lan Kwai Fong, and the restaurant was an instant success.
Always looking to challenge himself, Alberto accepted the move to Chef Harlan’s ambitious three-venues project at the IFC to oversee the Italian-Mediterranean restaurant H One, G-Bar and The Box.
Like all good Italian chefs, Alberto has a formidable mama with a girth almost as expansive as his. From their family kitchen, she has passed down to Alberto heirloom recipes of pastas and raviolis, the secret to handling pizza and who knows what else!
Chef Boccelli opened Azzurro in early January 2013, a casual dining Italian restaurant with a daily lunch semi buffet concept, great for executive lunch, parties and intimate dinners.
Situated at Olympic in the Olympian City mall, this venue offers a slick and bright interior with floor to ceiling glass windows; the menu offers authentic Italian cuisine with innovative combination of flavors, traditional pizza and choices from the grill section.

匯豐中心附近開了間新餐廳, 之前試過幾次食LUNCH都很划算, 今次第一次約朋友吃晚飯。本來擔心會好貴! 竟然平過平民價! 還是意大利廚師主理!餐廳環境很舒服, 擺枱寬敞樓底又高, 很有外國餐廳感覺! 相比旺區的餐廳那種擠迫環境和要趕交枱的感覺, 這裡簡直像另一個世界!最近吃過幾間西餐私房菜, 動輒要4,5百元一位, 不過通常只是香港廚師, 就是煮不出那種西餐的神髓。菜式味道份量完全可媲美, 但價錢超值! 5個女仔才吃了6百多元, 簡直是驚喜價! 像回到十年前的物價! 這裡老闆和廚師都是意大利人, 對用料很講究, (老闆連落單時腰枝也挺得筆直)! Pama Ham Salad真的是一片片即時刨出來, mozerella tomato salad的水牛芝士......我只可以說, 這樣的價格, 這種材料, 我懷疑真能維持成本嗎?!老闆知道我們慶祝生日, 還特意開了一支Sparking請我們喝! 很週到和窩心! 還不收切餅費!順帶一提, 喜歡意大利酒的朋友真的可以一試這裡的wine! 我試過Chianti 和一杯老闆推介的red, 真的很不錯! 有厚度和層次, 同樣的酒去中環尖沙咀可能要400-600元一瓶, 在這裡才280-400元一瓶, 老闆對酒也有認識, 可以問問他意見。美中不足是WINE LIST選擇不多, 只有約10款, 這裡可能近住宅區, 所以11,12時便關門, 早了一點。waiter也不多, 所以要耐心一點。這家餐廳有BB椅提供, 也夠空間放BB車(朋友試過帶BB車去吃飯而成不受歡迎人物), 媽媽們不用擔心。
