Dominic's Review: A nice Italian restaurant in TST, we had Pinot Grigio, Ham and Melon, Brocolli Soup and Seafood Risotto. Not bad at all!

Irene's Review: It's not busy even on Fri evening. There is musician to sing in front of you if you wish. The only drawback is that the restaurant is not facing the sea like the others in the same area.

Shop 10 & 12, G/F, Sunning Plaza, 8 Hoi Ping Road, Causeway Bay

Review: Although this restaurant has opened for 6 years, I don't know it exists even I go to Causeway Bay at least 3 times a week. The location is off the busy district and lunch atmosphere is relatively calm. The set lunch with 3 courses cost HK$350, but it makes me so full that I could not order dessert. We had grilled goat cheese, smoked salmon, seafood soup (no seafood in soup, only fresh taste), ox tongue and ravoili. All is up to standard.

Review: Part of the Va Bene Group, Isola is a new restaurant located at the IFC mall 2. We were invited to a pre-lauch tasting evening. The arugula salad is a traditional Italian vegetable, Hong Kongers may find it a bit bitter, the lobster salad was fresh and nice. We had minestrone soup, the vegetables were soft, the soup was tasty and it is a clearer soup than most minestrone which tends to use a lot of tomato. We had a pizza with shrimp and white beans, large/thin pizza, we had the hand-twisted pasta with tasty ham, the pasta was very chewy. The roast-beef with onion was very delicious too. Finally, the dessert plate includes cheese cake, tiramisu, lemon cream with peach marinated with red-wine, we all loved the desserts.
