Service was attentive without it being overbearing--helpful with the dish selection as well. We thought the dishes were great from start to finish. The burrata was creamy, complimented by the tart and sweet grilled peach while being cut by the savory cured meats. I ordered the lamb medium-rare and really enjoyed how it was prepared, and the pasta dishes similarly turned out delicious. We felt like the presentation of the dishes were very thoughtful on top of its great taste. Both desserts were a necessary closing of the meal--the creaminess of the tiramisu and panna cotta was not overbearing and helped highlight the respective flavors of coffee and fruit in these desserts!

It was my first time dining at Pirata and I enjoyed the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere…read more On this occasion, they were launching their weekly lunch buffet, which features a different selection of appetizers spread out beautifully. I am also big on dessert so the new tiramisu recipe was particularly noteworthy, standing out from others that I've tried. Kudos to Boris and Elle for their attentive service; they frequently checked in on us and ensured our comfort. Overall, my visit to Pirata was a delightful experience that I look forward to repeating. Thank you Pirata Group.

La Cucina Italiana Review on 2017.5.16…read more This is my second visit of this restaurant. I had no memory what I ordered last time, but I had great memory of it. The complimentary starters were two sauces with baguette, one was tomato onion garlic with vinegar and one was garlic pickle salt vinegar from guessing. I could eat it whole night just that. For starter, we had Proscuitto Melone with a very slim slice of soft bread. The melone was very sweet. I had to wonder where was the country of origin. The prosciutto was good. It had less fat than those from my Italian friend. I dont think it was any special to eat them together. For pizza, we ordered Napolitan Style, Seafood, and Assorted Mushroom Pizza. Definitely one of the best in HK. " Pizza Expression " was a joke compare to it. All pizza was made very thin and crunchy, full of topping. I would recommend Seafood Pizza out of all three. I loved their noodle and rice. We had Seafood Spaghetti, Spwaghetti with Clams and White Wine Sauce, Risotto with Asserted Mushroom, and Cannelone. They had the Rice and spaghetti a bit hard like the way Italian would. Both seafood and clam spaghetti were very delicious. Cannelone was pasta roll. ( it is like Tortellini) inside have good balance of good Ricotta Cheese and spinach. The environment was a bit dark, but overall was a comfy place with italian garden feel. Other fact i like this resturant was that they really had many dishes to pick. For the service be expected lack of staff, i wouldn't complaint that too much in hk environment. Rating would be: Taste: 4.5 Environment: 4 Service: 3 Hygiene: 4.5 Value: 4

Bearing the name of Franck Muller, Francesco seems like the place being misplaced in Causeway from…read moresay, Landmark in Central. It's not a completely novel idea to have Japanese and Italian fusion cuisine, but it's still refreshing among all the Italian restaurants in Causeway (and to be fair, Japanese restaurants as well). The restaurant (and the whole building) is quite small. It's not full, but sitting at one of the tables not close to the wall would definitely make you feel uncomfy. It's all everyone in the restaurant could have their eyes on you. But you have to appreciate the colorful decor they put on. Pretty lit too, unlike your typical fine dining restaurant. Not sure if it's better or worse though. We ordered a Grilled Lobster Risotto, Wagyu Beef Cheek with Italian rice (I looked at the menu online, it said it served with Inaniwa Udon instead.. weird), and a Black Cod Saikyo Yaki. The food were all okay, to say the least. The main problem was, it didn't feel like fusion. It's like a restaurant with both Italian food and Japanese food on the menu. Which is fine, but not that impressive. Say if you use Italian rice to make a sushi, that would be a first. We did enjoy the dinner there and ended up being the last table leaving the restaurant. If you are looking for a nice dining place on a weekend, it's decent enough. If you are looking for some innovative dishes, then look elsewhere.

Franck Muller is known for its watches, to me it's always been its watches and that's it. . When I…read morefirst heard about Franck muller opening its first restaurants, I was very surprised. In fact I was even a little skeptical. How could a watch brand open restaurants and serve decent food? This restaurant in particular serves Italian Japanese food. When you first walk in you quickly feel that it is a very comfortable environment. The restaurant is full of colors and they have nice open kitchen and bar. We ordered a variety of different dishes between the four of us. Some of the things that we ordered included Okinawa miso pork, baked chicken casserole a wagyu beef cheek. I was impressed by the quality of the dishes, I just have to highlight them individually. First of all the Okinawa miso pork was roasted to perfection it was fatty but they served it with a side salad. It was so tasty I think I could have had it with a bowl of rice and finished the whole thing on my own easily. the other dish we ordered was the baked chicken casserole. to me when they open the pot, it felt like clay pot rice. Really brought back childhood memories. it was so yummy and they even have the little pieces stuck to the bottom of the bowl, that was the best part. The final thing I wanted to highlight is the wagyu beef cheek, I like how they paired it with a Japanese udon. I think that was a classic example of what they classified as Italian Japanese. I would definitely come back anytime, any day

Came here because I finally got a little tired of eating HK food 24/7 and I was just really craving…read moresome pasta. My bf & I did the tasting menu together (290 HKD/person = around $36 per person) and that included 2 appetizers, 3 pastas, 2 desserts. Tuna tartare- 4/5, fresh Octopus salad- 3/5, it was decent but nothing extraordinary Ragu- 4/5, good but the pappardelle was a little too al dente for me and normally I'm all about al dente pasta. Truffle- 5/5 if you love truffle, GET THIS! Ravioli- 4/5, if you love ravioli and ricotta, you would love this. I'm not big on extra strong cheese taste so this was a little too much for me. Tiramisu and panna cotta- yummm! Great way to end the meal. Ordering both was great because when the tiramisu got too chocolatey, I'd grab some of the panna cotta which had the tart taste from the raspberry. Good balance :) For a chain pasta restaurant, I came in with low expectations because in America, they would usually taste really bad and cost a lot... but this definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of taste and value.

I don't work at your place but did you put sharp objects into my food?? The service is good! It's excelling really hard but I'm more concerned about my mental health. I'm still not recovered after 3weeks by now!! The Ambiance is really aesthetic. I really love how they have those candles and dark themed lights. They really match my mood a lot. The setting is a bit bad but still. No affection to the star The reason I gave 1 star is because I got affected by flu b. I don't want to get this sick and skip 2 weeks of school. I had test during the week when I had flu b. The teachers were concerned about me and kept pulling me out of class asking is everything alright in my family? If there's anything just ask me okay no need to suffer Madeleine. This place is good for food but not good for infection part. I hope if you're a worker, chef, boss/ manager/ director.

Food: 4 stars Environment/service: 4 stars Value: 3 stars Recommendations: organic vegetables, white clam linguini The pasta here is what to get and in my opinion is better than the pizza. The pizza is cooked in a cast iron pan, which gives you a nice crispy crust. I prefer the wood fire oven cooling style and a more chewy crust. The pricing is on the high side but is in line with Hong Kong. I would expect to pay between 200-250 hkd per person. If ordering the more high end proteins then it will be more.
