This Italian restaurant has a bar on the ground floor and an outdoor garden area for smokers. Apparently the top floor is reserved for small parties (up to 8 people) that want to sample the chef’s specialties. I hear that there is no menu, you just tell the chef what you don’t eat and he will come up with a delightful menu.I had to try to squid ink bread roll – apparently homemade and it was extremely delicious.

I had to try to squid ink bread roll – apparently homemade and it was extremely delicious. The bread was soft, warm, with a hint little saltiness. Dipped in oil and balsamic vinegar, it was absolutely delicious.
They had the summer special menu, which consisted of entrée, pasta, main course and dessert (all for HKD 448). We were all quite keen with the summer special menu so ordered that.
We started with the deep-fried baby white bait fish and spinach, served with apple and cabbage salad. The deep fried white bait fish and spinach was light, and crispy. The apple and cabbage salad (with mayonnaise) was a great compliment. It was a delightfully light entrée, not too sickening and not too oily. However, my only gripe would be that it didn’t have enough baby white bait, too much spinach.
The pasta was hand-made spaghetti with clams and roasted peppers. We were given a bottle of chili oil with mountain chilies in it, and I couldn’t help but drizzle on the pasta. The hand-made spaghetti was cooked with basil and garlic and the pasta was incredibly tender and slippery. The clams and roasted peppers were a great compliment, and the drizzle of chili on the pasta really gave it a nice kick.
Our mains were roasted sea bass/ cuttlefish ‘tagliatelle’ / buffalo mozzarella cheese and chard. The sea bass was slightly pan fried, it was tender and moist, and melted in your mouth. The cuttlefish tagliatelle was interesting but in a good way. It wasn’t fishy but a little rough in texture. The buffalo mozzarella cheese I love, which was a great compliment. The combination of it all was just incredible. It was scrumptiously yummy! It was filling but tasty.
Dessert, caprese chocolate, almond tart and pomelo sorbet. I was very disappointed with the dessert. I was expecting chocolate oozing out of it but alas, no, nothing, it was just solid. The cake was dry and hard, but was rich in chocolate. The pomelo sorbet was refreshing, slightly bitter but a great compliment to the rich chocolate. Unfortunately, I didn’t finish this dish as it was just disappointing (and I was getting full!)
