For pasta lovers, highlights include the Bottoni (HK$380), stuffed with buffalo cheese, guanciale, and peppercorns, and the rich Pappardelle (HK$480), served with onion “Genovese” ragout and wagyu.
Main course options bring an elevated touch, featuring dishes like Blue Lobster (HK$880) with sabayon and crustacean sauce, and the luxurious Kiwami Beef M9 (HK$880) accompanied by pearl vegetables, preserved truffle, and sherry vinegar.
