Cenacolo Steak & Pasta - So Italian!

I can’t resist the drive but to introduce this lovely and tasteful Italian restaurant in Hong Kong to you.

Shortly after it’s opening since a few months ago, I tried this restaurant and fell into it at once.  I have brought lots of friends to this restaurant and they all love the food and wine there. 

In fact, this restaurant is another shop of a famous restaurant in the SoHo area in Hong Kong, the Al Dente(for information of SoHo, please refer to my earlier post: Enoteca on Elgin).  Both restaurants are famous for good quality of food and wine, reasonable prices and very cozy and comfortable dinning environment.

The restaurant has a good collection of Italian wine to match with their dishes.  All the wine selections are of high quality and very reasonable prices.  I especially love those coming from the Chianti region.  

My number 1 favourite dish in the restaurant is their Prosciutto e Brie (Parma Ham & Cheese).  The Parma Ham goes prefect with the Brie cheese: salty, creamy and delicious.  This appetiser is a perfect match with the Italian red wine.  The other appetisers like Antipasto (Parma Ham, smoke salma and grilled vegetable), Carpacciao (Italian raw beef) are very nice choices.

Being an Italian restaurant, their pasta and risotto are the signature dishes.  I love their Seafood Cafafu (lobster and seafood risotto) most.  Don’t miss this dish when you visit this shop.

Another must try item in the restaurant is their rib-eye steak.  The steak is very nicely done, very juicy and tender.  I would say that not many restaurants could compare with the quality.

Some other dishes worth recommending to you include their very crispy pizzas, mussels, lamp chop and smoke salmon salad.  Their freshly baked onion bread is also delicious.

Their desert, the chocolate pudding, is awesome!  This desert is a piece of hot chocolate cake filled with melted hot chocolate cream.  Beside the pudding, there is a scone of vanilla ice-cream.  The contrasting black and white, hot and cold, chocolate and vanilla,  all sum up to a great tasting experience.  Other than the chocolate pudding, the Panna Cotta and Cream Brulee are also my favourites.

The prices of the restaurant are very reasonable.  For a full course dinner, from appetisers down to deserts, with a bottle of sparkling wine and a bottle of good quality red wine, the total expenditure for 2 persons would be around US$120.  This restaurant also serves weekend lunch sets, with 3 courses at USD$16 - 18 per person only.

    Wow, that makes me hungry. Lol!

    That’s so interesting that there’s such an authentic Italian restaurant in Hong Kong. Are the owners Italian? Or are they just fans of the cuisine?
