Trattoria Caffe Monteverdi - Hong Kong

Top Italian restaurant with a family run feel. The food here is really incredible. Starters, pasta, mains and dessert all have a unique edge to them and the wine list has been picked by hand to match the menu. Armando and Ibe who manage and host the restaurant have truly succeeded in keeping a homely feel to the place without compromising on anything else.

Whilst it is a bit pricey, the staff here are always wonderful and the food delicious. I love how there are always different specials on the menu to try. And don't forget to get the staff to recommend you a glass of wine (or two! . Great for a low key night out.

Had heard that this restaurant was very authentically Italian but I did not find the food to be that authentic. I’m guessing the original restaurant, which was in Sai Ying Pun, used to be awesome and the reviews were for that and ever since the location has changed, maybe the ownership has too?

This place used to be great and probably still is but there’s one waiter (the guy who isn’t the owner and his wife) that absolutely ruins the experience for me. I’ve had better service from waiters in 茶餐廳 than this guy. He couldn’t even be bothered to explain the specials on my birthday and just pointed to the board. Even though we were the only people in the restaurant he kept trying to sneak up and grab our plates. Would love to come again if the owners are here though. Just writing this in hopes that they notice.

Worst Italian food in hk? I've never been more surprised at how wrong the reviews are. Maybe it's new owners? Maybe, since they are moving locations, there is a temporary step down in quality? Whatever it is, while service was nice the food tasted like it was either microwaved or hardly cooked. If this place was decently priced it would be ok at best but for the premium charged I'm calling this unfortunately the worst Italian in hk.
