ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

All the best dishes are from 4 generations of "all female" chefs in my family and from the best Restaurants of the bay of Naples and the Sorrento Riviera. I want you all to taste true Italian cuisine, backed by generations of care and knowledge.

All ingredients are home made or imported.
We do our own cheese, vinegar, salame, sausages, long cooking (30 hrs minimum) tomato sauce, pastas, 30 day marinated steak, and home grown herbs (seeds from Italy).

ABOUT THELOCATION

I am located in the heart of Wan chai, great location with terrace.
Wan Chai is a major hub of foreign and Chinese cultural institutions in Hong Kong, so it's a wonderful place to try a fusion of Eastern and Western culture and cuisine.
Wan Chai is also home to the famous Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, definitely worth checking out as there are many international trade fairs, some of which are among the biggest in the world: the annual Hong Kong Book Fair in July, food fair and festival, technology exhibitions, and cosplay competitions.
You can also visit some historical conservation sites including Old Wan Chai Post Office, Hung Shing Temple and Pak Tai Temple.
