Borgovivo 在香港供應義大利食材已經有一段時間。珠海的餐廳我們已經去過幾次，第一次去香港中環的 Borgovivo 餐廳，果然不負所望。吃的不在話下，重點是氣氛。這個氣氛估計也是她們選址的重要原因。聽說那裡本來是一個俄羅斯餐廳，地方本來也有濃厚的歐洲味道，老闆娘更悉心重新裝修佈置。一進去，酒吧佔整個餐廳的空間的部分絕對不吝惜。加上非常友善，充滿笑容的員工，讓客人有一個一直想留下來的感覺。餐廳才開不久，估計後面知道的人多了，就不能不排隊了。到飲食的部分，從提供的 sparking 和 still water，瓶和杯，已經有 fine dining 的感覺。我很少去餐廳拍水的照片的，今天拍了。Focaccia 義大利麵包是新鮮的，配上熟悉的 Borgovivo 進口優質義大利橄欖油和醋，絕對有五星酒店米其林義大利餐廳的感覺。剛好帶了單反，看拍的效果看我說的對不對。…Read More

週末過來吃個晚飯。一進來就受到熱情款待。必須點的是生蠔。太太不能吃多，Oyster bar 幫我安排了我5只，太太3只，而且是排列匹配好的。吃好生蠔，上了鮑魚，經理推介了熱食，白酒和紅酒也有匹配的介紹，效果確實不錯。牛排有驚喜。週末中環停車也容易。最後送了非常特別的甜品，也賣個關子，這個在其他餐廳是沒有吃過的。經理透露是多年前在義大利南部跟本地人學的，簡單的配搭，不一樣的感受。這地方絕對值得再來。好評！…Read More

繼續在 AMA 試新菜。頭盤來個牛脊骨，天然脂肪配上薯蓉和脆麵包，有口感。烤玉米繼續是我們的喜好，簡單天然有有特色。兩個不同風格的意大利面，紅蝦味道濃郁，洋薊配上白汁，味道天然帶出來。加一個家鄉手做香腸，同樣是簡單但獨特的口味。薯條，麥當勞也有，但為什麼要這裡點，只能體會，不能言喻。星期天特別早了過來，看著露台慢慢從白天漸變到黑夜。灣仔這個夜景，和太平山，尖沙嘴看到的也是香港的另外一面。AMA 的好處就是這樣。好的地方，好的食物香港不缺，但眾多5星酒店餐廳以外，AMA 就是多了簡單中的個性和特別之處，讓人可以隨性到來，每次也能感受一點新的驚喜。…Read More

Nice Sunday lunch at Stekka. Relaxing environment with great food in line with fine dining Italian restaurants but with sticker price of a family restaurant. The first time I was there I enjoyed the lamb and the steak. This time we tried seafood. The cod is firm, with a fine texture. The lobster is fresh and the tomato sauce really brings out the flavour. For the appetiser, the firm aged cheese and the rocket leafs really bring out the beef carpaccio. For dessert, the complementary bread pudding after the nice meal adds to the pleasant surprise. Would definitely go again.…Read More

You only see one piece of Rosemary bread in the picture because it was all gone before I press the shutter. The Homemade Fettuccine with Bolognaise sauce is equally awesome. Portion is generous and price is very reasonable. The Burrata Cheese is another surprise, is something I would expect to only be found in very expensive restaurants. Will definitely come back again.…Read More

We invited our good friends for dinner this time. The simplest of all continue to surprise us. Got to try the grilled corn. Normally one wouldn’t think of ordering grilled corn at a fine Italian restaurant, but do trust me on this one, you too will be pleasantly surprised.…Read More

Who said fine Italian food has to be for occasions. I brought my better half back for light Sunday lunch, just antipasti and a glass of Prosecco, finishing off with coffee and their signature tiramisù. It’s the bread, vinegar, and how they make magic out of the most ordinary ingredients such as honeycomb tripe that make this place stand out. Will definitely be back again!…Read More

In the midst of Wanchai there comes a boutique new building with an authentic Italian restaurant that pays attention to every fine detail. It is the simplest elements that stand above the rest. The Italian imported melon and fresh fig makes the difference with parma ham. The refined balsamic vinegar, coupled with the warm focaccia, prepares the palate for the supple, tender lamb and fish of the day simmered in rosemary and extra virgin olive oil. The pici pasta was cooked just right in Italian standards, and the Tiramisu had the perfect balance between mascapone and coffee Kahlua. The pinnacle of the experience came with a happy birthday video customized specially for me! AMA is truly the perfect place to surprise your BFF and lover! Thank you for making this a most memorable moment for me!…Read More
