看戏前的空档，揾个地方坐下，未帮衬个这品牌，见环境不错，有沙发位，就坐底饮杯野。要的系朱古力，一杯热、一杯冻。Rich Chocolate，望落非常杰身，似朱古力酱多过似朱古力饮品，禁㶶郁既rich chocolate都系第一次饮，饮落当然㶶郁，不过又唔会浆住过口，始终系饮品黎。适合巧克力迷的饮品。冻的就很普通，cream加朱古力，当然无rich chocolate 咁㶶郁，给比下去了。环境舒适，店员服务不错的，有别于连锁咖啡店，食物唔系得三文治、蛋糕，有机会可以帮衬下。

Cooking with Beer special menu 里所有菜色都会有Birra Moretti啤酒成份。 最后一天才来试，有点仓促。尤其来到的时后已是晚上八时多，侍者们已开始cleaning up，亦没几个客人。幸好还没过last order的时间，当下即点了一个set dinner和多一个main course。先说Parma Ham, Green Apple, Mozzarella and Mixed Green leaves with Birra Moretti dressing, 因为我来得太迟的关系，侍者已没有苹果和Mozzarella，也罢。Parma ham有四块，比平常自己买到的现成parma ham更淡口。菜上只有很少dressing，没有我想吃到的啤酒味，亦只是一般新鲜。Main courses有Homemade Rey Hero with Beer Marinated Lamb Fillet and Zucchini served with Birra Moretti Mint Jelly和Spaghetti with Roasted Pumpkin, Artichokes, Fresh Basil and Sun-dried Tomatoes with Beer Pesto。Homemade Rey Hero with Beer Marinated Lamb Fillet and Zucchini served with Birra Moretti Mint Jelly 其实就是俗套地讲就是羊肉饱。自制的bread roll不像港式面饱一样软熟的，有点咬劲。里面有些cumin seed令个饱颇有香味。唯羊肉像无腌过似的淡而无味，亦无啤酒味。但连饱或mint jelly(这个就有少量啤酒苦味)食来补救也未算不好吃。倒是饱里的courgettes烤得好味道。Spaghetti with Roasted Pumpkin, Artichokes,Fresh Basil and Sun-dried Tomatoes with Beer Pesto又是来的太迟的关系，spaghetti变为蚬壳粉。见不到吃不到beer pesto，只见一堆黄色的南瓜sauce上面有很少chopped basil。又是淡口的，但尚可接受。惟若吃了番茄干后再吃pasta就没味道了。Artichokes不知是罐头货或是煮得太耐，太谂，但仍算最好吃的部分。Pasta煮的刚好，是al dente的。甜品要了Homemade Beer Ice Cream。不算太甜，只有啤酒的苦味和不搭调的vanilla味。吃起来好怪。若加重啤酒的比例应该会更好。饭后饮品仍然是Birra Moretti啤酒。入口时麦子的苦味很浓，没有甘甜的after taste。亦不算有啤酒香。不是我那bott of beer。可能真的是我来的太迟的关系吧，食物质素仅仅只属一般。说不上好吃。我全部都吃不完，交由朋友清理。

It's my third time to visit Caffee Vergnano 1882 at Lee Garden. Their food's great and their service used to impress me. Yet, it's quite disappointing today. The servers were not as efficient as usual. My friend and I had been waiting at the entrance for a while but there's no one noticing us. What happened? Maybe it's Sunday and they'r just too busy... Anyway, their food is just as good as usual.As I am on diet, their Caesar Salad is definitely my best pick. It's just as good as usual. The veggie, the ham, the dressing, the boiled egg... everything goes well. Everyone must love it!I also ordered their signature coffee, 1882. Frankly, it wasn't bad but not as good as expected. I prefer their cappucino. My friend ordered a pasta with chicken. She claimed that it's great. The amount of chicken breast was even more than expected. It's fresh and went well with the sauce. Thumbs up!Though the staff tpday were not as friendly as usual, I do hope it's just the case occassionally. I will give it one more try to see if anything goes wrong with their service. Don't let me down, Caffe Vergnano 1882!

七月上旬‧晴朗 一个比较空闲的周未，却安排了一个相当紧密的行程：先去敬诚街吃巴东牛，再去一品斋吃甜品，而晚上要去大埔吃潮州菜。中间的空档，最好就是找个地方，喝杯咖啡，好好坐一坐。 来了这里，纯是看上了这里好坐的四方型单人沙发，与及有得wi-fi上网。三杯不同的饮品，显示了三个不同的口味。我要的是Espresso Macchiato，喝起来甘香兼备；另一杯Nutella Shake，是夏日良品；最后的Earl Grey，很滋阴。3杯饮品，5人坐在这里，消磨了2个多小时。想看看咖啡的相片及足本食评，请参考下列网志：http://gourmetkc.blogspot.com/2009/10/caffe-vergnano.html

上回与女友试过了其中环IFC店的出品，无论是Espresso及Cappuccino也不太行，而且服务更是差，今天独自在老铜吃过了超便宜的一人韩烧后，看看手表还有点时间的，当然要找个地方喝杯咖啡充电，在附近徘徊了一轮，原想找一些楼上Café试试的，但最后找不上，唯有来利园的Caffe Vergnano 1882，给它多一次机会。要了一杯Cappuccino，大的要三十九元，连加一要四十三元，比我刚才餐韩烧便宜一元而已，相信大部份的钱用了在租金上，为何不可以坐的一个价钱，立饮的一个价钱呢，因为我来主要也是为了杯咖啡。也说回杯咖啡，看其样子也是上回的一样，奶泡上有以巧克力粉砌成1882的字样，观其奶泡幼细而够挺，没有如肥皂泡的感觉，看上去是对版的，也是一口连泡喝，其奶泡比上回在IFC喝的厚，但个人认为应该可以再厚一点，幸也算是按本份的Frothy，挺绵密的奶泡反光度算高，喝起来的温度适中，可是无论奶泡以至咖啡之中，其奶香也是很低，纵使我明白Cappuccino的奶香度是没法跟Latte及Flat White比，但也不至于是这样的，加上咖啡香度低，整体来说，这杯Cappuccino喝起来只属一般，但诚然其咖啡味的浓度、泡的厚度已经是比上回在IFC的好。最后喝完总共也只用了十多分钟，相比人家喝一杯咖啡坐一个下午的，我这杯咖啡真的是很贵。真的很不明白为何此品牌的咖啡店咁受大家的垂青，可能是个人口味的问题，今次杯Cappuccino确实是好过上一回，但也不认为很好，论咖啡的质素，还是认为Coco Espresso、Crema、Initial Cafe、Coffee Assembly及Tata要比这大品牌好。
