208 Duecento Otto (已結業)

I visited this restaurant with friends. It's a nice enough environment, though the music is too loud. Another typical overpriced underquality mid-levels place which I generally don't like.Me and the missus shared a pizza marinara at 148 dollars. It was big enough for the two of us to share. But it was very disappointing - soggy base, and the only topping other than tomato seemed to be anchovies. Yes, they're fish. But generally I'd expect a little more seafood on a marinara. The Pizza Hut could

公司有意大行藉同事, 對香港意大利菜要求特別挑. 最近她發現208, 很興奮的介紹給我們, 還說那裡很難訂位, 所以我們今次特別去試一試. 五日前訂星期六晚七點已滿了, 要waiting list. 直至星期六中午, 208才打來話有人取消了ok. 七點到達, 我們被招待到bar枱等候, 五分鐘後Manager很有禮貌的帶我們到二樓位子坐下. 全店的侍應都是說英語的. 店中客人九成都是老外. Menu也有點難睇, 因他們做的都是很地度的意大利菜, 所以menu是英文, 有些都難以明白. 我們還是點了比較容易的roasted eggplant & prosciutto 做 entree. 我很喜歡意大利做eggplant的味道, roasted 加上rosemary 香草的味道, 很香. Prosciutto當然是合格啦.Main course 意藉同事話它的pizza很不錯, 我們當然不會錯過. 我們選了Mushroom with cheese Pizza, 餅身很薄和脆, ok. Patsa 我們選了Fettuccine with pumkin, 想不到那麼簡單的pasta, 也做得

For lunch, B, M and myself made a trip to 208 Duecento Otto in hopes to find good Italian food after much hype about this restaurant since its opening earlier this year.Stepping through the entrance and making our way upstairs to the dining hall we knew a lot of effort and money had been put into the design of the restaurant...but how about the food?Chopped pizza dough with basil and a little olive oil. Turned stone-cold quickly, which I didn't appreciate. Texture wasn't exactly good either - wa

It surprises me reading complaints about the pizzas at 208 being soft or soggy. Anyone who knows anything about Napoletana pizzas knows that while they are crisp on the outside, the centre is MEANT to be soft. They should watch the movie Eat Pray Love which is a real foodie movie, in which Julia Roberts tucks into a soft, chewy pizza in Naples where the best pizzas in Italy come from. . These are different from the crisp thin crust Roman pizzas which used to be my favourite until I discovered

We have passed by that restaurant many times and it has a really nice entrance and it always seemed to be pretty packed. Therefore, my friends decided to pick that restaurant to celebrate 2 person's birthday!7 of us order their signature dish- rib eye, 4 different pasta, a pizza, some appetizers, the chicken with citrus salsa, pork chop.First of all the pizza took 2 hours to come which was after our main course and the main course replacement. Half the table was done with their main course whe

I would like to say at the outset that my expectations were quite high. I was attracted 208 by its artistic exterior and rustic interior (adjectives interchangeable). Perhaps next time I should be careful about judging a book by its cover. Reception:We waited at the entrance for around 10 minutes. It was almost 12pm. The staff saw a herd of people waiting in the scorching summer sun. Somehow they were not minded to let us in, at least, and sit at their empty tables. Policy, perhaps. And when the

Despite having an inordinate love for food, writing restaurant reviews is something I normally do. However, I'm making an exception this time simply because the negative reviews below have not done any justice to this restaurant.208 has been barely open for a few months, so I wasn't expecting it to run like clockwork from the start, and I was prepared to overlook things like tardy service or cold food. But not only did 208 exceed my expectations, my dining experience at this hip New York style t

一排無寫，先寫呢間都新新地既餐廳先啦。環境非常一流，唔係金碧輝煌果個靚味，而係果種香港好少見的型格裝修，昏暗得黎，所有佈置都好清楚咁比客睇到，企企理理咁，唔錯。薄餅其實唔錯，底夠薄，焗得漲卜卜，麵粉有香氣，芝士夠香，其實樣樣都做得好好，就係有樣唔好，太焦啦，焗得太耐，而且餡料實在多得有點兒過份，未拿上手已經軟晒。最好係薄餅，唯一好食既亦都係薄餅，其他既菜式好似意粉就實在太腍，頭盤水牛芝士就無咩味，甜品叫左個類似麵包布甸既物體，乾到呢...至於好多人話唔好既服務，坦白講丫，成場都係鬼佬客，香港人入去會有一流招呼就講都唔好信啦，咁起碼都有人理，食物齊，都算做左基本野既。實在好難判斷會唔會再黎。

First of all...all the people complaining about the pizza probably have NO idea what Neapolitan pizza actually is. I lived in Italy for 2 years and have been waiting for a place like this to come along. This is classic Neapolitan style pizza - crispy but chewy crust with simple toppings. Delicious. Now in terms of the whole experience... Came with 2 friends for dinner (Yes the reservation system isn't great, but that's what it's like with a busy restaurant people! Have you ever actually tried ge

My honey and I went there to try their pizza as they so call REAL Italian Pizza. But I have to say it was way far different from what i had in Italy. Pizza like Indian Nam and hard to chew like eating bread. Service is not responsive and really bad. Not recommended to anyone to try.

I had a great experience at 208! Seated quickly, staff was helpful with wine suggestions, the antipasti (panzanella and prawns) was fresh and tasty, pizza (diavola and prosciutto & arugula) had good Neapolitan-style crust and quality toppings.A bit pricier, but the quality of ingredients is worth it...you can really taste the difference. The atmosphere downstairs was great, very upbeat and crowded, but we never felt rushed and stayed for about 2 hours just enjoying the wine after.Looking forwar

I went to restaurant once last week and ordered the sardines and the prosciutto pizza. The sardines were okay but the pizza was fresh and chewy - and I couldn't find a better pizza eatery in town. We also ordered a few glasses of wine and the wine was a bit over-priced. The pizza was so yummy that I recommended to my other friends and suggested that we'd go there again! Knowing the location is quite far from Central or any business areas, I did not make a reservation. I got there around 1245pm.

My husband told me that he wanted to try this place because he read it somewhere (not OpenRice) that this place has the best pizza in Hong Kong. My first impression about this place was pretty good. The decor and style were quite impressive -- rustic, contemporary and chinoiserie. But after standing at the door for 5 minutes looking around for a waiter without being seen made me a little upset. The following experience further proved that the service in this place was really a problem. The w

Finally we could have time to dine at this restaurant last Thursday. The atmosphere and ambience was good with attentive service. The complimentary hors d'œuvre was their signature pizza and it tasted good!We had ordered Arugula salad Homemade pasta Chicken (with a long nice description for this dish that I couldn't remember) one bottle of mineral water and 2 glasses of MerlotThe salad was refreshing with parmesan cheese, olive oil and vinegar dressing. The homemade pasta was delicious and pe

The pizza's were very nice although a bit too wet. Drinks are really over priced if I am paying $60 for a bottle of San Miguel in Sheung Wan I expect really good service and it was terrible, at these prices you don't expect rude staff, some chewing gum others playing with their mobiles. Managers seemed to be friendly enough but it was the junior staff with bad attitudes and that would be the reason I won't be going back. Classified and the Press room are closer to Central and about 1/2 the price
