Barolo (已結業)

Nice set lunch with salad buffet.Salad was all fresh and crispy and there was a good selection of cold cuts. Beetroot was lovely and the beef was cooked to perfection.Pasta was 'ok'. Nothing special to be honest but it tasted fine. At least it wasn't dry as is often found in Italian restaurants. I had meatballs and the wife had a simple tomato sauce. Fine but not outstanding.Beer tasted fresh through the pipes and the coffee was hot, fresh and strong.Whilst the pasta wasn't amazing, the added salad and meats made up for it and we both came away filling contentedly full - still am actually.Worth a visit. 继续阅读

用团购的优惠来试这间餐厅 $149 由头盘, 主菜, 甜品, 酒, 加一都包埋的一个set dinner, 价钱还算特惠~预早两日book台, 不过电话人一口类似印度口音, book位时真系考到我listening和推理技巧...去到埋位就有面包和一些薄脆片小食, 不过面包较干硬...送汤才食得落...头盘要了番茄汤, 友人不小心地叫了个杂菜汤...她的十分清淡, 我的番茄汤就几香浓,唔错~主菜点了肉酱意粉, 个人喜欢较多一点咸味的肉酱意粉, 这个咸度正好适中 意粉干身, 加多一点肉酱汁卖相刚好, 可能当中加了香草橄榄油拌碟, 更加惹味友人的牛扖, 要了medium的程度, 吃下去还是有一点点韧, 但肉汁也很鲜美甜品试过Tiramisu和Affrogato, 以热咖啡加一球冻雪糕在上面的Affrogato最为滋味咖啡的热很快被雪糕冷冻了, 吃下口中咖啡淌著香味, 加上雪糕的甜, 系是次dinner的压轴惊喜~ 继续阅读

朋友看上了它的salad buffer。因是公众假期，门外只说有bunch太久没在SOHO区附近存活，忘了那是个连雪糕店也只有英文meun要说英文的地方在鸡和鸭讲的情况下，本是问有没有lunch set，但店员好像也不清楚般，最初说有，后期问同事后说没。然后店员说有salad buffer，HKD128一位，虽加了价，但觉价位还ok便进去吃入座后，继续鸡和鸭讲，得知buffer是12:00-4:00pm，所以我们这餐吃足4小时!!!! 我们一开始就点了冻柠茶，后期是有后悔太早点.......有关沙律吧........生菜放太近门口然后菜也不太ok，有些黄掉烂掉它的honey很不错，后期我都吃蜜糖+沙律酱+沙律，这样配味道很不错的那Goat Cheese看著本很漂亮完整，被人吃到这样子我的感想是Goat Cheese单吃太乏味，也想不到配什么吃好..........那个卷卷茄子是包著Goat Cheese再香草.........很抱歉地那香草超难吃，茄子+羊奶芝士配著也不怎合我口味pama ham，此行目的。本是满满的，当然吃光的也不是我们.........(朋友说吃光就回本的了)还不错吃，比yamm的质素好，可惜那天没蜜瓜......我们怀疑是在柜中那只"金华火腿"切出来的 XD 然后去的那天也没烟三文鱼........好可惜那个貌似肉干条的食物.......好咸，是pama ham包著芝士，那芝士有点像卡鄞夫芝士的味熟食.........最后的车厘茄很不错薯仔第一口是不错炒菌没什么味道炒西兰花&椰菜花也是没味道茄子嘛......不吃比较好......其他碰都没碰 (样子不好看，也不想去吃)照片中西瓜是最好吃的。brownie第一口ok，然后甜的要命杏仁批也很甜...........pizza是店员突然弄的，然后每个人派3件因为一杯饮品实在不够，眼见有其他客人问他拿水，便也问店员拿在西餐厅拿free water是有技巧(?)，反正就是别只叫water也千万别要bottle water(by中过招的人.......)朋友点了hot water，却是普通的柠檬味冻水基本上这店的客人都以外国人为主除了会遇上太过热情外国人，HKD128+10%服务费能在SOHO区hea 4小时任吃pama ham是还ok........但其他食物真的不好吃......2-3点时见多了不少人来吃，但只吃个1小时就不化算了其他食评内的生蚝、羊架也没我看了下其他点bunch的客人只多了香槟一杯和主菜尽量把有供应的食物拍照的了，若是想去的人可以参考一下 继续阅读

First I have to thank school for giving me one extra day-off, something which is much-needed in this hectic life of mine. Having no lessons at all (HURRAY!) I could enjoy great flexibility on my lunch-whereabouts. Having heard and read about the antipasti/salad bar lunch buffet, I could at last squeeze sometime to actually give it a try.Apparently Barolo had raised the price of the lunch sets by an average of +$20 as the waitress politely explained to me that the Salad Bar lunch set now costs $128 instead of $108, or $98 stated on its (apparently)outdated website. You get a salad bar buffet, pasta, dessert and tea/coffee by paying $138. This narrow difference of $10 is tempting but since we went only for the salad, we decided to give it a no-no and head for the salad bar instead.This place is actually more of a bar than a restaurant - we were allocated a bar table which was rather comfortable to sit and eat. The place was crowded with Central lunch-breakers who are mostly foreigners. They looked kinda in a rush - hurrying to return to their workplaces before the stock market opens again at 1:30? As they buzz around like bees we just looked around lazily, and I felt quite funny being surrounded by people constantly moving swiftly while I was completely in the holiday mood, wanting just to sit back and relax a bit. After a few minutes of relaxation we could at last move our asses off the comforty bar chairs and moved to inspect the salad bar spread. What we saw was indeed impressive: plates after plates of fresh salads and antipasti were laid on the long bar table.What a scene. You actually start from the right of the bar to the left were the espresso machine is: first were the soup, bread and plain salad veggies, then the cheese and the cold cuts and the grills, and last were the fruits. There were approximately 15~20 kinds of food available.Conventionally I started with the plain salads and bread: the bread basket offered at least 3 kinds of bread including french baguettes, flaxseed wholewheat buns and a sour dough. Pity that they had been dehydrated under the strong ventilation, but they actually tasted okay with the crunchy crust and soft(if you tear away the tough parts which has exposed in air for too long), and i guess they should go well with the cream of mushroom soup , which i did not bother to try. Nice salad veggies tho and there were four dressings which you could choose from, plus some really nice and crunchy croutons, cheese(is it cheddar or edam?cant tell) wedges and thin crisps which you could top your salad with, not to mention the really juicy cherry tomato which went well with the thousand island dressing. The Tomato with Mozzarella looked better than it tasted as the cheese was a bit rubbery in texture but literally tasteless. The comment applies for the goat cheese which, sadly, did not even tasted like cheese at all but resembled crumbled soap. This was really disappointing as i was expecting quite a lot from its cheese collection...anyway, theres still other antipasti which i could give my heart to. Smoked salmon was okay but tasted a little too salty, but that could be moderated by a good squeeze of lemon juice.Next I basically sampled with EVERYTHING ON ONE SINGLE PLATE!!WOHOO! luckily most were vegetables or else i would have killed myself for gorging in so much meat and fat in one single meal. Anyway, the parma ham was truly delicious - they were of the correct thickness and were not too fat nor salty; the cantaloupe was sweet and went well with the ham. Matter of fact I thought the parma ham here tasted better than what's served at Tiffin's or The Lounge@J.W. Marriott! There was the big wedges of grilled pumpkin which i treated myself generous shares as they were truly delicious. You have to pick the softer ones as they were better seasoned. They were quite buttery in texture and I just used them to 'butter' the dry bread! There were two drier mixes of chicken peas and some suspicious seed-like stuff, which i did not quite like. The Grilled mushrooms and zucchini and eggplants were nicely grilled and juicy, however; the clam salad and grilled broccoli and cauliflower was disappointing however as they were not too fresh nor tasty. Last were the fruits - the pineapple, cantaloupe and watermelon were all fresh, juicy and sweet.We ordered two English breakfast teas which came with a lovely piece of almond biscotti , which served as the most appropriate 'petite sweetness' to the salad buffet lunch.Now perhaps you will ask: wheres the oyster? I was thinking of the same question and apparently Barolo had taken away quite a lot of food from the lunch menu. Stuff like the cheese variety and some seafood items were missing. That was indeed a huge disappointment, given that they had raised the charge per head from $108 to $128. Had i been aware of the changing menu, I would not have been here for lunch - it is not very economical of me to have a salad lunch at $128+s.c.To conclude - great place and great service, the food was okay, but the choice was a bit too narrow given that the restaurant is charging people around $135 per head. Perhaps i should have tried Bistecca Italian Steak House or Bourbon instead. 继续阅读

went there around noon, Had a salad buffet. Don't like to pay for the water when they didn't mention is not for free HKD 55. all the food are cold ! mushroom, pumpkin, except the soup. ( salad bar ) not that many choices to me AND is not tasty should have gone to somewhere else, regret.service is okay, they try to gossip around with their own "language" which I know the topic is me. coming back to the food, my favorite is the pumpkin.the chef baked some fresh pizza m the staff walk around and serving people. good suppose to be HKD 108 per person , with the " special " water and 10 % charge . HKD 150 per person 继续阅读
