About

This stylish Italian restaurant, in the middle of Central's Lan Kwai Fong nightlife district, strives for elegant simplicity in both food and decor, making it a good choice for a romantic meal away from the surrounding hubbub. The long, dimly lit dining room's most eye-catching features are a wine cellar that extends the length of one wall and a sky-blue ceiling etched with floating clouds. With consistently creative and excellent, mostly northern Italian food, it has been popular with Hong Kong's well-heeled expat community for almost 2 decades. Perhaps you'll want to start with wafer-thin carpaccio, followed by one of the homemade pastas like fresh pasta pockets filled with meat ragout in sage, butter, bacon, and black truffle. As a main course, you can choose from a number of veal, beef, and seafood dishes cooked to draw out natural flavors, including monk fish wrapped in ham served on a bed of lentils, or pan-fried beef tenderloin with a red wine sauce. Good Italian wines, great desserts, and attentive service round out the meal.
