La Piola (已結業)

身為新界人，真係好少過海，難得過海搵朋友食lunch, 食完水記心情大好想搵個地方飲少少酒繼續吹水，於是入咗呢間lunch time後餐廳只剩兩三枱人，完部都係外藉人仕。餐廳內有塊大鏡，半開放式設計令食客能多接觸自然的空氣，少了一般中高價餐廳的拘謹，教人情緒放鬆。朋友點咗個隱藏版季節張定的starfruit mojito，比一般mojito更refreshing，不過比較細杯，飲兩啖就無。另一杯我唔知叫咩，淨係同朋友講想要一杯橙黃色frozen嘅cocktail, 然後佢幫我點咗呢杯，嚟到係白色，杯邊有粗鹽，好重tequila味，飲極麵仲有，long drink之選。

Felt like trying someplace new on a Saturday night. Arrived at 9 pm (as per our booking) and shown immediately to a nice window-side table. The place did not seem completely full, but there was a steady stream of people in and out. This looks like a lively bar at street level (and it is) but the restaurant is upstairs and mercifully removed from the hubbub below. The "niche" for this restaurant is that it serves food from Italy's Piedmont region. (Think Turin, think truffles, think wonderf

Everytime I walk pass La Piola after work the place is packed with people having drinks by the open bar facing the streets. On a Friday night one people would be spilling onto the side walk with their wines and spirits. I've never eaten at La Piola and decided to give it a try during lunch. We were greeted by a friendly hostess who took us to our table upstairs. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful and we were again greeted by a very friendly waiter who asked us if we wanted water. There is a 3

Mum wanted to have pasta for lunch on a Saturday, so we wandered around Central/Soho among the traffic and crowd. Naturally we popped into the first restaurant we spotted. Downstairs was a bar area and too noisy for us, thankfully there was an upstairs dining area which was just as loud but at least we didn't have to eat the dust and inhale air pollution straight from the streets.The bread basket was pretty damn good, the grissini were crunchy and herby, the other two were moist and chewy, great

Since the opening of La Piola in December 2010, I must have dined in for about a dozen of times because it happened that I know the bosses as social friends.As always, I have enjoyed the services provided and the ambience of the venue, taking into account also of the WellingHurst bustle, but kind of expecting a bit more of the food . . . until about two weeks ago, on one quiet Saturday evening (must have been July 16) in the restaurant, I was handed a brand new food menu embedded in a nice and

Service was slow to start with and difficult to get someone's attention (and menus) but once we started to order our main, the waiter was very pleasant and made some good suggestions.Pasta portions were a little on the small side but tasty none the less. On the Gnocchi, agree with previous posters, it was a little too mushy and watery. I doubt that is because it is home made as I have had home made Gnocchi before and it's consistency was a lot more solid than La Piola's.Unfortunately, we found

Had a very pleasant night out for a friend's birthday. Randomly chose this restaurant since we were both in the area. The service was great from the beginning to the end. Food was average and the place was pretty empty which didnt create a good enough atmosphere. Ordered the mixed entree platter and another entree. Servings where quite large for entree and was near full afterwards. So ordered only one main for the 2 of us. Surprisingly the pasta we ordered wasnt that big serving and by the time

不嬲都係意大利菜超級粉絲, 聽講中環擺花街有間新意大利餐廳La Piola 專門食Piemonte 菜, 梗係同班志同道合嘅老友試吓新野啦.早到左, 侍應好體貼咁話: 樓上餐廳未有人, 叫我坐一陣樓下酒吧飲住酒等, 仲俾左碟 snack我食, 包括 sausage roll, polenta cake etc. 侍應話響酒吧飲酒免費送小食喎.House wine 都有成五六款, 一向好喜歡意大利紅酒, 點左杯Barbaresco紅酒, 好得 (果晚結果飲左四杯, 飲到 wing wing 地 :-)頭盤叫左: “Mixed starters – 3 hot and 3 cold”, 包括三個冷盤:Italian anchovies filletsBraised veal with cold tonnata sauceCarpaccio由於其中一個朋友唔食牛, 咁就益左我同另一個牛魔王啦, 個veal同 carpaccio 都好出色, 想 encore 咁滯, 個人唔係咁鍾意 anchovies, 所以無食到.三個熱盤:-Asparagus flan with tomato fondu

同朋友試試新店，大概是附近競爭不少，經理的為好客，亦會用心去介紹菜式，就算結果是味道麻麻，但也總會對這裡留下一點點印象。就如用百分百肥的煙肉包著的麵包條，聽說是北部皮德蒙的地方小吃，幾甘香的，但難消化，只能淺嘗。

My friends and I ate at La Piola recently and were very pleased with food and service. Staff were very attentive, the manager happily answered all of our questions about items on the menu and gave us recommendations. He checked several times if everything was ok, explained all of the starters, which usually never happens in mid-range restaurants in Hong Kong. Homemade pasta was fresh and tasty and the panna cotta was perfect. Non-bottled water was available at no charge. Only thing I would chang

I am a Japanese lady very passionate about Italian food I have been to Italy many times and to Piemonte 4 times in total.I was very happy to hear that a Piemonte restaurant was opening in Hong Kong.Since La Piola opened I have eaten there 3 times already and the food has always been up to my expectations, exactly as I remember it from my trips in Italy.The tajarin are really amazing, egg pasta is not meant to have the same texture of the hard grain pasta so they might not be as al dente as spagh

The place is very well located, and has very nice itnerior design and atmosphere.Orderd cold cut platter which was superb, along with a truffle brasied potatoe dish,which I really enjoyed. followed up with the lunch menu (which I thought was well priced at 170HKD) of:smoked salmon andlasagnaand chef's desert.the lasagna was brilliant, and the salmon was also very good.The services was very attentive, and quick.The manager/owner was very firendly and came up to us several times to ask if we wou

對不起，我不能寫中文...但不要在這裡！非常非常糟糕!!(thank you google translate)Good from far...far from good. At the outset the restaurant looks like a promising middle-upper tier Italian joint a la Wagyu meets Zuma meets Italian restaurant but once you sit down the adventure really begins.i) Bread served - cold and hard. Surely 'any' restaurant can at least warm the bread up before giving it to you. Maybe they intentionally do this - maybe they're intentionally looking for less customers. Bad first impression.ii) Wa

This is one of the restaurant openings which I've been really anticipating and couldn't wait to try it out after the 1st few days of their opening. Hopefully giving them a chance and enough time to sort out any early gremlins. The other new Spanish Bar-Restaurant MESA15 just a street up from this location, would just have to wait for a few days!The Chef of La Piola comes from Turin, the capital of the Piemonte region - well known for its famous red wines ranging from the very affordable to o
