This is more of a western restaurant and the staff is so welcoming, you feel like you're visiting relatives. At one point, the waitress noticed my mom and I taking pictures of food, so she tried to help set up the food as aesthetically as they can after setting it down on the table, haha! They have a lot of appetizing things to choose from, but I got the pasta and mocha (and also tried a bite out of everyone's dishes lol) honestly everything tasted pretty good and you're definitely going to feel full right after!

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.

Probably some of the best Italian food I've had, besides in Italy…read more I had the burrata and prosciutto as well as their pasta and it was to die for. I'm sure everything on their menu is incredible. Their wine list was also incredible. Their service is Italian, so of course great!

Located in Sha Tin Town Hall, la terrazza Caffe is only minutes away from the ever-bustling New…read moreTown Plaza, but its quiet atmosphere and generally quite affordable prices make it seem like a whole new world. To get there from New Town Plaza, simply exit at the first floor (where all the restaurants are), walk up the steps and go straight into the Town Hall. My mother and I were here for the first time for tea the other day. A cake set including a drink adds up to $45, and there's no service charge, so it is quite a bit cheaper than other cafés. The downside is that there were only three types of cakes - tiramisu, Neapolitan and apple tart, but the upside is that they brew Starbucks coffee! This makes their set a really good value because getting a drink at Starbucks would set you back at least $30 already. Although the variety of cakes is limited, you'll be pleased to know that they're of a pretty good size. Especially my mother's Neapolitan - it was about twice the size of regular artisanal cakes that you would get elsewhere. The Neapolitan is loose yet very crunchy, and not overly sweet. My tiramisu was not as big and unfortunately didn't have much of a coffee taste, but was soft and creamy nonetheless. We were there at around 5pm on a Friday and had no issues finding a seat. Besides cakes, they also serve waffles with (Haagen Dazs!) ice cream, hot dogs and salad. They do lunch sets too. One thing though is that there is faint Chinese opera music not from the cafe, but from the speakers around the Town Hall. It's not super loud but if you have really sensitive ears and are not one for high pitched Chinese opera tunes, this may bother you!

Nonetheless, they allow you to get drinks inside and take them to the outdoor area. And they (surprisingly) did not complain about some in our group bringing drinks from outside. Went back again during the day and they have decently priced lunch sets. The food ranges from below average to above average depending on the dish you choose. One thing to note is the size of their items are pretty large. Not the serving but the ingredients. Environment was also pretty nice and service was pretty good.

This place has some EXCELLENT Italian food, short of my chef friend's handmade pasta. The owners make their own pasta here by hand, which probably is why the food is so similar. The squid ink tagliatelle was made and cooked perfectly, just that right balance of al dente, just perfect. The the stuffed fig appetizer was a pleasant surprise, with the dollop of balsamic a good balance to the nuts. I'm usually not a big fan of figs. We also got the appetizer sampler, arancini which was great but I was blown away by the crostini with asparagus pate, something about that flavor really made me a fan. I could go on but I don't want to write a review that's so long that you won't read it. The service is terrific, the owners obviously are very hands on and seem to know the regulars really well in addition to treating first time visitors with a lot of warmth. Seriously, such a nice spot that you wouldn't expect.
