Wow! Super surprised there is a yelp entry for this restaurant!…read more This place I feel is not in the most ideal area. Personally, I don't like coming to LKF to have dinner or lunch or whatever. Still, I can't fault them too much for the location, and many people have actually done the same since there are a number of good restaurants in LKF area. This place is primarily a steak place, though they have a few other things to choose from as well. I believe lunch times they offer a AYCE sort of option, where you get a main and then the salad bar is buffet. I've been to it before and it's pretty good. I've heard however since COVID they have changed it somewhat. The other night I came and got the seafood guazzetto, which is about $300 HKD, and has a bunch of different things such as fish, octopus, clams, etc. Lots of seafood essentially. Other things I tried included the sides of brussel sprouts, mushrooms, bruschetta, some of my brother's sirloin steak, some of the fish of the day (halibut?). Overall, the food is quite nice. I will say, they tend to use a bit too much butter/oil here. I know this is kind of true whenever you eat out, but here it is definitely noticeable. I would recommend them to tone it down just a little bit, since there are always ways to spice up your dish without going overboard on the fats

I came here for dinner three nights ago, and I'm still full from it!…read more The five of us shared bruschetta (it comes with four but they added one more for us), the cured meats (a great curated selection), and the meatballs for appetizer. They also brought out some veggies and dip before we ordered (which I had never seen done before) along with bread. The highlight of the night was the steaks of course. We shared the florentina (aka the porterhouse. A 32oz wagyu beast) and a filet. The meats came on a cutting board already cut, so the sharing was easy. They were perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. We had roasted veggies and creamed spinach as sides. The latter was addictive! Chef Todd was around to explain their meat selection when I walked around to check them out in the case. We didn't get to send our regards to him, as we stayed late and were the last to leave. Todd, if you're reading this, hail to the chef! We went without a reservation and were seated right away. It was a Thursday night, but we had gotten there around 9 which might explain the vacancy. It's a great option for groups and celebratory dinners :)

You tend to just sit forever in Italy and it was no different here. Other than that, the food was all great. I wish the uni pasta had more emphasis on the uni portion - pasta itself was very good though. The steak was perfect for me although there was a tiny bone. The crema di limon was interesting. I thought pistachio crumble means there's some base but no it's just pistachio crumbs all around. Price was on the higher end but matches the setting I guess.

I've been wanting to eat at Octavium for a while now. I finally found an opportunity to have lunch…read morehere while I was in the Central area. The food is simple, clean Italian food that showcases the ingredients. My rating is based on the following: Food: 4 stars Ambience: 4 stars Service: 5 stars Value: 3.5 stars The lunch set either comes as a two or three course meal where you add 100 hkd for dessert. I skipped dessert and had the veal appetizer and spaghetti pescatore. Lunch bill came out to be 410 hkd with service. Olive bread and breadsticks are served before the appetizers. The olive bread is clearly freshly baked and comes to your table at a nice warm temperature. The crust on the bread has a nice crunch. Can't taste the olives too much but the olive oil is clearly of high quality and adds a nice punch to the bread: The first veal course came with a few slices of thinly sliced veal paired with arugula, blanched heart of palm and a yellow and white purée. I enjoyed this dish. The arugula is salted nicely and the veal had a nice color and was cooked nicely. Didn't have that gamey taste that sometimes comes with veal. The crispy onions added some nice texture to this dish. Overall successful dish but not out of this world. The main course was a seafood spaghetti. The amount of seafood was generous and included, shrimp, squid, fish, and brocollini . The sauce is a light and really relies on the freshness of the seafood to flavor this dish. The pasta was cooked a bit under for my liking. Some may say this is al dente but I prefer my pasta a little bit more well done. The meal ends with some almond and hazelnut meringues which were a nice and light end to the meal. I saw some other tables order the chocolate soufflé, which looked delicious. I kind of wish I had more time and ordered that dessert as well.l

The dishes can be a bit hit or miss. I sampled my husband's aglio olio pasta and thought it was too…read moresalty. He also tried the Arthur Avenue linguini and thought it was just okay. However, I ordered one of their specialties, the pappardelle with nose-to-tail bolognese, and loved it. My only complaint is that the pappardelle noodles were too wide (they came out like the pasta you use for lasagna) so it was a bit of a challenge eating with a fork. Still, the bolognese sauce tasted fantastic, and that's all that matters! The caprese salad also gets a thumbs up from me. According to their Facebook page, they have good happy hour specials ($99 for free flow Pabst Blue Ribbons, chicken wings, fries from 5-7 PM.) They also offer western (mostly American-style) breakfast starting at 8 AM, and has a DJ that does hip hop Fridays from 10 PM onwards. Basically... a solid all-day eating spot!

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.

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.
