Peccato (已結業)

I don't know if the people here who left comments for this restaurant went to the same restaurant my friends and i went to. We've just been here yesterday evening and I thought the food and service were great! Decoration was romantic and thinking to book for my boyfriend on our next anniversary already! We ordered mixed dishes - pasta, meat and seafood as mains. I ordered lobster for myself and shared with one of my friends as it was a big portion. We all tasted each other's mains and we thought they were all great! Ravioli is a must! The Scallops risotto, baby pig and Italian seabass were also delicious! But special mention to the Grilled king prawn one of my friends had and lobster pasta (didn't regret ordering this!) yeah, would definitely recommend it for romantic dinners. 继续阅读

My sister and I were in the soho area looking for a new restaurant to dine in. i have tried almost all the restaurants in Soho but we walked by Peccato and I haven't tried it before. The decor looked nice so we thought why not give it a try. We were greeted by friendly wait staff and when we entered there was only one other table in the whole place, the place is not big with about 10 tables max on the inside. I started my dinner with a glass of chardonnay and my sis a cup of hot water. After our drinks they brought us a bread basket served with olive oil and vinegar which was expected. The bread was a bit on the hard side and didn't taste that fresh. We both starred at the menu for awhile pondering what to order when the mozzarella caught my eye. I had been craving a cheesy dish. THe mozzarella was served with parma ham. Being a cheese fan and mozzarella in particular I thought the cheese was very bland and the presentation was mediocre. the only thing that added taste was the saltiness of the parma ham.My sister choose the salmon carpaccio. This dish was also a dish I would not recommended. It was served with rocket leaf and parmesan. The presentation was also lacking... and the taste was also soso. As we were not that hungry we asked the server to recommended a main for us to share and he insisted that the lobster linguine was a top favorite, so we took his advice. I was overly disappointed with this dish, it was a bit fishy and didn't have much taste like both the appy's we choose. There wasn't much lobster in the dish but was served with a lobster head. I wanted something sweet to end the meal I choose the tiramisu because this is such a classic Italian dessert that you can tell how good this and judge the restaurant. Good thing we were quite full as this dessert came and it was so SMALL! The taste is not bad though, very creamy! I finished most of the dessert.I must say the waiters are very attentive and always quick to suggest dishes but I'm not so sure I would return again for the food maybe just a quick drink on their front patio before dinner.. 继续阅读

吃，在乎心情，在乎菜式视觉卖相，在乎环境气氛，是一项 total experience，不单只是「吃」东西那样简单，这也是「eat」与「taste」的分别。是日试吃的是位于中环的意大利餐厅「Peccato」，它位置开扬，有室内有户外，单看环境就已给人很写意的感觉。这次「Peccato」也加入了「Restaurant Week」的行列，提供一款有四道菜的晚餐，人均 $438+10%。试吃过后，感觉是色香味与服务俱佳，是一项很棒的 total experience。「Citrus cured salmon carpaccio with crab, avocado and Prosecco vinaigrette」 现时正值初夏，实在需要一些提神醒胃的菜式，踢走那厌闷的胃口。头盘的薄切三文鱼，卖相颜色亮眼；加上用橙汁、柠檬汁调制的汁料，带起了整体的食味，鱼肉的味道即时变得立体化，令人不禁胃口大开，是很聪明的配搭。「Pumpkin soup with fava beans and ricotta」第二道南瓜汤是意式什菜汤 (Minestrone) 的变凑版。它用蔬菜汤作基底，加重南瓜的份量，再加入 ricotta 芝士用以提高香滑度，喝时味道是慢慢布满舌头，比想象中清甜，是清新可喜的一道西汤。蚕豆的参与则提升了汤的层次感，更有咬口。第三道的主菜，是二选其一。「Pan-seared sea bass with warm lentil salad and lobster emulsion」智利是拥有丰富海洋资源的南美州国家，它天然的条件如降雨量、水温等都孕育出美味的天然海产。这道来自智利的海鲈肉厚、油润，就这样亁煎的做法就更强调了鱼肉的嫩滑质感。此菜的亮点是那用龙虾壳、蕃茄、洋葱、甘荀等熬成的汁，已呈现泡沫状态，好看之余，味道是鲜甜到不得了，伴鱼同吃更是鲜上加鲜。「Black Angus sirloin with roasted fingerling potato and asparagus」来自美国的安格斯西冷扒，从外表看来好像是烤焦了的模样，不过内里约莫是五成熟。大厨烤牛扒的生熟程度掌握得很好，外围的焦香与内里的肉嫩平衡得宜，牛味亦很浓郁。除了煮功外，好吃的其中一个主因当然是肉的本身质素好。汁料是典型 steak sauce 再加少许黑松露吊味，个人觉得其实不用点汁，光吃那块靓牛肉已是品尝它的最佳方法。「Chocolate Tiramisu with chocolate crumble and chocolate sorbetto」 Tiramisu 是这里的名物，杏仁酒与咖啡酒的味道颇浓郁，口感也做到幼滑细致；另配的是朱古力雪芭而不是雪糕 (所以比较快溶掉啊)，不会过甜，口感亦更轻盈。最后不得不提那店方自家制的柠檬酒「Limoncello」，在饭后侍应会热情地免费奉上，味道超酸，一杯到肚，饱滞的肚皮彷佛得到了解药，感觉舒服得多，这项是非常好的 value-added service。 继续阅读

Thursday Jan 27, 2011 // Conclusion: Don't waste your money!We walked around the major area around SOHO, and decided to try something with a pretty decent interior design. This one had a patio. Since the weather wasn't cold today, we've decided to take a seat outside. The restaurant got sufficient amount of heater to keep us warm so don't hesitate to take a seat outside instead. (and to also make their restaurant look like there's lots of customer)We got seated and I was offered two menu. We've decided to stay sober and asked for tap water. However, they just outright said they don't have it. Although its a trend in Hong Kong these days, I've decided to take tap water due to environmental impact. We want to limit our carbon footprint, Well, that wasn't a choice here and was forced to drink sparkling water... and we aren't the only one here with the same concern.http://eatinghk.blogspot.com/2007/09/walking-out-of-peccato.htmlAnyway, we ordered 4 items for 3 people. We evenly split all 3 entree among 3 person by ourselves. However, before we start on our meal, we were given the choice if we wanted parasan cheese. We said okay. The waitress stood at one spot and just spray cheese onto our food. We wouldn't normally make a big fuss but they kinda made a mess spreading the cheese outside the plate as well as all over the table. We thought that wasn't too professional and could have been avoided if they walked around, which was only 3-4 steps. The mess also wasn't cleaned up so the table was rather cheesed up.Onto the food.First started off with a Beef CarpaccioThis was an alright appetizer. The beef wasn't as salty as the ones Ive eaten. It was reasonably seasoned.Portion was just right.Then comes our Entrée. One for each person Gnocchi alla caprese with Minced Beef on Tomato SauceThe minced beef sauce tasted good, however the texture of the gnocchi was way to soft. Size was okay considering price but could always use a slightly larger plate.. Risotto agli asparagiThe risotto was the best out of all 3 entrée. The sauce was perfect, not too creamy. Portion was just right. Prepared perfect! Linguine alla vongole with clams and white wineThis was the linguine with clams and white wine. Although the plate looked very appealing, I must say, I was very disappointed with the taste of this dish. The sauce and the clams were extremely salty. I felt like I was putting salt in my mouth..it was very disgusting...I wish it was less salty because the texture of the linguine was cooked perfectly..The sauce just completely ruin the dish. The portion was bigger than the others but since it taste horrible, it was probably one dish you wish you had less in terms of portion.Customer ServiceWAs stated, we were seated outside / patio. The waitress and the boss does look outside from time to time to ensure we are good but never asked if we need anything else but never came out in person to ask if stuff are alright. The attitude of the waitress and boss itself wasn't very professional. Back to the parasan on cheese incident. Those cheese was served across the table while we were talking. Waitress just stood at one spot and start spraying those cheese. That's okay but if you make a mess out of it, then they should have probably walked a few step and serve the cheese on the right side of the customer. What ended up was cheese all over the table and it wasn't cleaned up. Not much a big deal if its in some low-end restaurant but wasn't expecting this.The boss was around as well but he was more busy standing outside getting more customers than asking us how was our meal. In fact, he never asked us that question, nor did the waitress. We wanted to express to him about the salty-ness of that spaghetti but that question was never asked. Never said goodbye when we left, but more busy luring customers. Lets just say once our meal was ordered, the boss never said a word after to us lol.The BillHere's the last blow Our bill... was kinda expected until we saw "Charity". $3 isn't a lot, but we'd like to be at least be informed Rather they donate that or not is... up in the air (though I think they will). But being informed is always better than just surprising customers. You're only clue was the little pamphlet / leaflet that was on the left when the bill comes. We looked inside the phamplet/leaflet and nothing was said about donating 1 dollar per person. If anything, it should have been from the profit of the restaurant, and not from us since... if we waned to donate, we'd donate money to a registered charity company and would do it at our own discretion..So yea, we got sold on their decorations. The food wasn't up to par/ was just medicore. The boss didn't seem like he cared after we walked in. We had better meal at this price around SOHO. So no, we won't come back again and won't recommend it to people. We aren't the only one 继续阅读
