Da Filippo Trattoria Hong Kong

Good food

Finally got to try out the much hyped @dafilippo.hk in @harbourcity!

The queue was super long when we arrived despite the eatery being at the far end of the shopping mall (above Cheesecake Factory). Luckily, we had already made a reservation in advance. Table time limit was 90 minutes, yet we got to stay longer as there weren’t any more walk-ins that night – they are really not kidding about the table only being held for 10 minutes though.

Helmed by Michelin-star Chef Andrea, our high hopes for the authentic Italian cuisine here were well exceeded! The only grumble we had was that the noise made it a bit hard to converse…

[Tiramisu]
Even without the birthday plating (kudos to the staff for preparing the surprise!), the signature dessert was nicely decorated with sprinkled cocoa powder logos. Served in a cup, what made this tiramisu stand out was the rich creamy texture that was absolutely amazing!

[Lobster Tagliatelle]
Must order! Prepared in-house daily with fresh eggs and a specific type of wheat flour, each strand had a perfect al dente texture and distinctive lobster flavor. Quite a decent portion of fresh lobster meat too!

[Seafood Pizza]
Another must order is definitely the 10” pizzas, as their unique sourdough base gives the crust a nice chewy texture. We chose the seafood one topped with plenty of prawn, mussels, clam and calamari. There’s even an option to make the pizza into a heart shaped one for special occasions.

[Tuna Avocado Tartare]
This was a little avocado overload. While it was an enjoyable starter, the proportion of tuna could have been increased to make the dish more well-balanced.

[Chicken Wings]
Glad the spicy sauce was served separate from the four pieces of crispy chicken wings or else I wouldn’t have been able to try this new dish. The meat was already super juicy without any sauce – highly recommended!

[Oreo Milkshake]
A summer special beverage, this was super worth our last minute change of mind. Adorned with a mini oreo and whipped cream, the milkshake was thick and flavorful yet still smooth and not too heavy.

地方夠大，美味食物，價錢合理

Amazing afternoon tea options for the cheap price, with a decent cup of coffee. The tiramisu seems alcohol free which was a let down..

Reception was not good in service but waitress is professional.

久違的意大利西餐?

小妹最近好少食西餐，今次去咗海港城食呢間意大利菜，星期六沒有訂枱係需要等位，大概15分鐘就可以內進。餐廳燈光比較柔和，係典型食西餐嘅格調?

?秘製吞拿魚牛油果他他配醃洋蔥（$198）
Tuna Avocado tartare with pickled onions
見到餐牌幅相好吸引 上菜之後發現原來份量比較少
但牛油果同吞拿魚個味道配合得好好?
配上醃洋蔥酸甜的味道很開胃 只是價錢略貴

?秘醬酥炸魷魚（$108）
Fried Calamari
本身魷魚冇乜味道 主要係juicy與否同食佢個醬汁
呢個酥炸魷魚比較乾身? 秘醬亦都十分類似千島醬
整體較為遜色 下一次未必會再嗌

?經典龍蝦扁意粉（$288）
Classic Lobster Tagliatelle
Tagliatelle係闊條麵嘅一種 比Linguine寬但比Pappardelle窄身 闊條麵嘅好處就係可以掛好多汁
呢個意粉全部都掛上蕃茄龍蝦汁 而且麵條好煙韌有咬口
配有半隻龍蝦 同埋剝左殼既龍蝦肉鉗 好好味?
餐廳經典菜式 實至名歸?

?香烤野生鱈魚配煙燻斯卡莫扎芝士及蘆筍 （$238）
Baked Cod with Smoked Scamorza cheese & Asparagus
嫩滑juicy既野生鱈魚被一層煙燻芝士包住?
魚肉既口感有d似C記（高級超市）
賣果隻Glacier 51 Toothfish 好滑而且冇骨?
蘆荀都係完全冇渣 鮮甜而且可以中和芝士既油膩感 好食?

Nice food, speedy service, but portion is relatively small.

食品 飲品 價錢也尚可 ?????? 位置在購物中心內 坐位也多 但未試過堂食 只外賣 但近來商場飲食卷到期 外賣及堂食也非常多人 …

好味有禮但等待忍耐☺️? …

It’s so so. Food tastes bland and is in the very small side. We had a tomato-mozzarella platter. The tomatoes were not even close to be ripe. Not what I’m expecting for such a place with such high prices.

魷魚非常美味 ,下午茶性價比高

An Italian restaurant, taste good

Bad service, overpriced, food is not good

First time at this restaurant, the food is pretty decent, but it is slightly on the pricey side. Service is really really quick, so better not to order all at once so as to enjoy the food slowly.

What a great Italian night at Da Filippo!!?

Andrea Alimenti, who has been rewarded as Michelin 1-star chef, started his new adventure in HK! Loud applause ??

My boyfriend and I went to have a look of it last night. And i have to report to you guys that it’s totally worth trying! The Environment is comfortable and ventilated , with diminishing light , Moody…❤️We agreed that the price is reasonable and the food is in relatively high quality.

??We have picked the following items✨
Beef Tartar $188
Lobster Bisque $88

We picked one starter on our choice for our own selves. I ordered Beef Tartar while my bf chose his favourite lobster bisque.

Beef Tartar was eye catching. It is topped with an egg yolk and sided with parmesan cheese slices, red onion, mustard, anchovy, etc. Overall, the Beef Tartar was very fresh and matched with its sides ?

Lobster bisque had a rich taste of lobster, which we could notice this before tasting as it has a deeper colour comparing to normal lobster bisque. It has a thick body and i liked this.

Carbonara $168

The spaghetti is al dente and the sauce was just right too?no cream or butter, just egg yolk ??a traditional carbonara ❤️ the Spanish pork cheek meat (a.k.a Guanciale/bacon) taste good too and not too salty ?

Grilled Hanger Steak $328

I ordered Medium Rare as usual. It’s just perfect ?? it is slow cooked and thus it has an unique soft texture which you cannot find in pan fried steak. Beef taste is rich, love it.

Meat Lovers Pizza $198

How can you miss out pizzas ? in an Italian’s restaurant??
Undoubtedly we ordered PIZZA ? and we chose meat lovers ? I could see Parma ham, salami, spicy salami and finocchiona.(I didn’t read the menu in very detail) you can know that it will be a bit salty ?

Nevertheless, the pizza dough gave us a huge surprise! It is made from house-made sourdough !! I love sourdough so much and the pizza is so chewy and tangy in aroma. Recommended to all Pizza lovers ?

Tiramisu $68

The texture is really dense and the aroma of espresso balanced with greasiness of mascarpone cheese. I sincerely hope that the taste of cocoa could be stronger, making it perfect?❣️

Hunter of Alps $108
Old Fashioned $108

We do think the restaurant also put effort in making drinks !
Hunter of Alps is fresh and has a fruity flavour while Old Fashioned has a bit more of the wine taste and both were impressing!!

We will definitely be back for another Italian night!??

Weekend諗住食餐好，所以就去左海港城新開嘅西餐廳試試。我地三個人叫左Parma Ham Pizza、海鮮意大利飯、和牛西冷扒同埋金寶蘋果批。估唔到食物質素竟然仲差過茶餐廳水平‼️ 最正常已經係Pizza，但係啲Parma Ham竟然係整熟晒，令到肉質又鞋味道又鹹，餅底就味道口感一般般。海鮮飯啲海鮮完全冇鮮味，意大利飯上到嚟已經唔熱，只係暖暖地一睇就知唔係即整。和牛西冷竟然有大量嘅燒汁蓋住，食落冇乜牛肉味，就好似茶記啲雜扒餐咁樣，但價錢竟然要近$400。最後蘋果批就好似係微波爐翻熱咁樣，批嘅外皮淋晒裏面係凍冰冰嘅口感好差，味道非常一般。每人買單要三百幾蚊真心超級唔值，可以話係我近年食過最差嘅西餐?

竟然會漏單，太差

Good Italian food with nice environment.

美式快餐,只屬一般,最可口的是薄餅。

Happy Friday Ciao
?Da Filippo Trattoria @ The Gateway

近排行經港威商場，晚飯時段成日都見到長長的人龍在排隊，令到我都停一停睇一睇有什麼吸引先 原來這間餐廳係來自意大利，而且係連續20年榮獲米芝蓮星廚Andrea Alimenti出任行政總廚，主打正宗傳統意大利人的家庭味道，上網睇完更加想試試 於是我提意選這間餐廳約舊同事們放工齊齊來個Happy Friday Dinner?? 好在我知道會有機會排長龍，所以預先打電話訂枱，餐廳安排好好，一訂坐完就會收到SMS confirm booking?真的要俾一個like??啱哂失憶的我們?

餐廳恰巧安排我們坐近開放式廚房附近? 俾個機會我們可欣賞廚師們的精心傑作，又可近廚得食? 一睇到已經令我諗起木村先生主演的日劇 Grand Maison Tokyo ? 見到同劇中一樣分工仔細，有負責頭盤，主菜同甜品的廚師，大家都好忙碌?未開始食已感受到他們的誠意及專業?

一打開menu，除了pizza?還見到好多??意大利海鮮菜式??? 現在✈️飛唔到，留港也可感受到南意風情?

Fresh Oyster 海洋滋味冰鎮生蠔 (6隻) 首先order一份Oyster?，?食咗幾隻先記得影相?，生蠔超級新鮮，味道層次豐富，入口creamy 鮮甜同能嚐到海水的鹹香??

Blue Mussel Pot with Bread 白酒忌廉煮藍青口配麵包? 一打開餐牌，這道菜已經係我wish list入面，一來到已聞到陣陣?白酒忌廉味? 藍青口鮮甜肥美再加上茴香洋蔥白酒忌廉汁，簡直不得了 ，醬汁用來沾蒜茸toast食，一流 如果另外有得追加toast?就好啦?

Classic Lobster Tagliatelle 經典龍蝦扁意粉? 如果話白酒煮藍青口係我入餐廳後的wish list，那這個Lobster Tagliatelle係我們進入餐廳前的wish list?，據介紹這道意粉是採用意大利Petra7220麵粉，它具有高強的吸水性而且充滿小麥香，每日新鮮自家製作，而且是餐廳的招牌菜，好想試呀? 一上桌已好吸睛? 自家製的意大利扁意粉外型獨特，食到啖啖都充滿口感層次而且非常掛汁? 龍蝦新鮮彈牙?而且醬汁香濃??必點?

Boston Lobster Risotto波士頓龍蝦燉飯? 對?控的我們，無理由唔order埋Lobster Risotto? 之前睇到原來餐廳的意大利米又係特別挑選，採用意大利北部Vercelli風乾熟成一年的Acquarello米，這種米係非常有咬口，吸水力強，能夠煮出更濃郁的意大利燉飯? 賣想相當搶眼奪目，已經令龍蝦控們垂涎欲滴?Risotto煮得恰到好處，每一啖都充滿濃濃的龍蝦味，而且餐廳好不吝嗇，整碟Risotto目測都有一隻?抵食 寫緊食評時又想再食?

Classic Tiramisu 千層提拉米蘇杯 這道甜品Tiramisu亦係餐廳的signature，正宗意大利味道，超級濃郁香滑，☕️咖啡味特出，甜度適中，好大杯?可以和三五知己開心share，又可以試埋其他甜品，perfect?

Tasty fresh food with a large open kitchen

Had a dine-in lunch during a weekday, the whole store smell like pizza. Barely has any service, as they are a bit under-staff. No view and very crowded.

Hokkaido Sea Uni and Salmon Roe Pasta with crab meat pasta ($328)
Taste was good but not too impressive with such price. It indeed has a lot of sea uni and salmon roe but adding the sea uni to the pasta is a bit wasteful, which the quality is fine to eat in raw like sashimi.
The portion is not big, just enough to fill me up for the rest of the afternoon.
Overall, quality is fair but not worth $300 for a lunch pasta.

BUT
Their takeaway is HORRIBLE.
My previous dine in experience is not the greatest but at least acceptable. This time, look at the dishes….hard to believe it is from the same store.

Baked Cod with Smoked Scamorza Cheese($238)
The cod is only as big as the lemon at the back, the dried cheese on top make it visually bigger. Even the asparagus are thinner than a chopstick. A lunch set like this costs for $238, with salad and orange juice? A big no for me.

Seafood Risotto with Cuttlefish Ink($228)
Meanwhile this risotto has a lot of rice with just a few pieces seafood on top. 1 shrimp, 1 scallop, 1 mussel and some clams. Seafood are too little to serve with the rice, which also has no taste of ink at all.

a super DISAPPOINTED lunch

Family style Italian restaurant. Good quality are excellent, specially the hand made pizza and pasta. The main courses are priced from $150 to $300. Soups and desserts are around $80. Good food at acceptable price.

用apps落單，上菜速度好快。所以可以食完一道菜，才下單下一道菜。免得美食凍左。
