Today I feel like eating Italian, but a real Italian. I mean generous portions like those served up by Italian mammas, big enough to feed the entire family. So off I go to La Pirata.
A few slices of speck or Parma ham as antipasti with shavings of Pecorino or Parmesan. Lasagnas melting in your mouth, pesto pasta or eggplant parmigiana with real tomato sauce. Tiramisu or panna cotta to have with my coffee made from an Italian coffee machine. Simple but executed perfectly, the dishes are served up straight from the oven or pan. The salads from the antipasti buffet are made right in front of you, and only when needed to maximize freshness. Everything here screams fresh. It’s delicious with no fuss. We let ourselves indulge and love. Don’t bother coming here on a diet, the portions are very generous, and the house isn’t stingy on olive oil and parmesan…. You’d even forget you were in Hong Kong if it weren’t for the skyline view you get being on the 29th floor in Wanchai. A great find to try out immediately.
