208 Duecento Otto (已結業)

Consistent with the comments of a few other reviewers here, service was horrible.The decor was nice and food was generally ok, but the whole experience was ruined by the poor and discourteous service.

In business, an empty suit is defined as someone who looks the part, acts the part, wears beautiful clothes, has a nice office, but is a complete WASTE OF SPACE. That is exactly what this restaurant is, an empty suit. It is a beautiful space, remarkably decorated, very well done.(although I dont have any idea what makes those walls New York or Italian.) With the execption of a couple dishes that is where the positive ends. This was my 4th visit to 208 and it got progressively worse each time.

Two of us went for a casual weeknight dinner. Sat downstairs (simple menu) because the upstairs dining room was full (quite amazing for a rainy Tuesday night). As others have already mentioned, good but expensive antipasti ($128 for 1, $228 for own choice of 2, $328 for own choice of 3, $400 for chef's choice of 4, +10% of course). For starters, we got the burrata with cherry tomatoes (quite creamy and well seasoned, but not as good as the Four Seasons') and calamari with fennel and onions (chef

Solid though desert was weakWe had tomato with mozzarella and pork tongue for appetizers and fennel with roasted tomato pasta and pork neck with spicy tomato sauce pasta for main. All were solid. The pastas were perfectly al dente with just enough sauce. Desert and tea were the weakest links. We had fritters and Italian bread pudding. The fritters were just fried bread, really nothing special. The bread pudding was chewy, maybe Italian bread pudding is different than the English. The ginger and

同行的說終於在香港找到跟以前在美國吃到而可以相比的pizza,確實也沒有過言.Pizza是薄批(我偏好薄底pizza),材料鮮甜,一拿出來就聞到好香的烤餅+芝士香,實在很不錯.不過size比美國的小許多,這倒合我們意,美國的那些實在太大,往往吃不完.我們一行四人點了兩個前菜(antipasti: roasted peppers with asparagus and mozzarella; calamari with onions and fennel (?)),兩個pizza (d.o.c. - cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, basil; cheese with 4 mushrooms).前菜份量超少,上桌的時候兩個合成一碟,所以朋友都沒為意.Roasted peppers很甜,我很喜歡.那顆mozzarella我倒是覺得一般而已,香、味都有,可是咬下去粉碎粉碎的,我不喜歡這種口感.至於calamari完全不是我們想像的 - 也只能怪我們看漏了一個"fritti".差不多等了一整個小時之後,pizza終於來了.可是來的時候不是四菇,而是salami.原來是侍

We heard about this restaurant through a magazine. It was fully booked, so we decided to order takeaway and pick it up. 1) the 2 maître d's on duty, who took our orders offered EXTREMELY BAD SERVICE - our bill took forever to arrive and we were informed that our 2 pizzas would take 10-15 minutes but we waited for 35 minutes in the end. When we waved at the maitre d' to come over so we could complain about the ridiculous waiting time, she IGNORED US.2) the quality of the pizzas were disappointing

I"m surprised the other reviews, except one, show disappointment but the overall result is 3 Yes ??I went there with 2 friends and we ate downstairs. The difference is they have only a short menu downstairs, and it was perfect as we were not hungry enough to sit for hours at the upper floor.Anyway, we ordered 2 starters to share, and 2 pizzas.One of the starter was the sardine shown in another review, and the other starter, i dont remember. We were brought a small plate with the sardine and some

208 definitely stands out in this otherwise sleepy part of Hollywood Rd; Artsy and charming, but inconvenient nontheless. The warm glow coming from the facade of the restaurant is inviting. Walking in, you know that this space has been thought out. Music is a little loud, but acceptable. The menu is still a little limited since the dining room has not officially opened.The antipasti is solid though not the best in town.The pizzas are a hit or miss. I think they still need to fine tune their te

My friends and me saw restaurant commercial in magazine.We ordered wines and 2 pizzas with DOC. The pizza is cold !Pizza base is very dry and dustyIt has air gap in the base and is emptyvery dry ! The price so expensive for a low quality We will bever come back because many places better quality even pizza pizza, pizza hut and california kitchen

I used to be a big fan of thin-crust crispy pizzas until I discovered authentic Napolitana pizzas on a trip to Italy last year - I was thrilled to find that you can now find them in Hong Kong - 208 serve the GENUINE stuff !! Thin and soft in the center and deliciously charred at the edges which is slightly thicker. They have a great selection so I will definitely be going back often to try them all!! You must try their DOC pizzas - I understand this won some awards in Naples . Pizzas were f

Feeling Hungry and didn't know what to eat...Was being told that Hollywood has many nice restaurants...hence i walked from the very start of hollywood road to begin my hunt... ... for whatever captures my full senses for food...YuMMy food!!!I was lucky, not long after i began my walk...some facade caught my full attention...the glimmering lights on the wall filled the evening sky, and i thought i was lucky...Greeted by the nice beautiful lady at the front and was seated promptly...When one is in

New York Style Italian-American Restaurants or Deli's seem to be flavour of the month, with the grand opening of here and also arrival of places like Liberty Exchange or the bigger dining spaces in i-Square's New York Deli, etc. One could already gauge their success by observing those fully occupied tables in Posto Pubblico and at this newly opened 208 Duecento Otto, not a spare seat was in sight even if you were willing to dine on the communal table or the marbled bar top. That's despite the
