Nocino (93WYS)

Nocino從大坑的社區小店起步，能擴展至擁有四間分店，主要在於其清晰的市場定位——主打風味獨特的瑞士意大利（Swiss-Italian）菜。這種菜系源於瑞士接壤意大利的提契諾州（Ticino），烹調上多用忌廉和芝士，風味比傳統意菜更顯濃郁豐厚。菜單中有不少令人印象深刻的選擇，例如頭盤的「炸瑞士芝士球」，外層炸得金黃香脆，內裡的芝士融化後口感煙韌，芝士味濃郁；另一道「醃鯷魚」則以油漬白鯷魚搭配烤多士，鹹香清新，是個不錯的開胃菜。

餐廳招牌的手工意粉每日新鮮製作，質感出色。「辣肉腸波浪麵」的麵條邊緣呈波浪狀，更容易掛上惹味的辣肉腸醬汁，口感豐富。而「小牛腿寬帶麵」則將小牛腿肉慢煮至極為軟腍，肉醬與寬麵完美結合，味道醇厚。主菜方面，「燴鹿肩肉」是傳統意大利餐廳較少見的菜式，鹿肩肉經長時間燉煮後肉質軟腍入味，入口即化，充分展現了瑞士山區菜餚的風味特色，值得一試。

Nocino built its success by focusing on a specific niche: Swiss-Italian cuisine. Originating from Switzerland’s Ticino region, its dishes are notably richer and creamier than traditional Italian fare. This is best experienced through its impressive menu, which starts with well-executed appetizers like crispy fried cheese balls and savory marinated anchovies. Standout handmade pastas include a spicy sausage mafaldine and a tender slow-cooked veal shank pappardelle. The venison shoulder main further showcases its unique, hearty Alpine-inspired cooking style, setting it apart in the market.
