Leading on from the poor lunch at Classifieds earlier that day it was a delight to support Paolo of La Piazzetta Soho later that evening at the re-opening party of his newly refurbished restaurant tucked away on Tsun Wing Lane. Like all good treasures this one is worth venturing a field to discover quality, value and good service can go actually hand in hand in Hong Kong!
La Piazzetta itself was already home to good food but Paolo still wanted to give his valued patrons even more and fully refitted this tiny but fulfilling cavern of a Trattorria. Personally I really like the new chairs, stylish in a classical way but also attractive and comfortable. Complete with a new interior right down to the last mosaic tile it is now an even more pleasurable place to have what I consider some of the best Italian food in Hong Kong. I can only thank my good friend S.F for introducing it to me almost two years ago.
The opening party was a raging success and while Paolo may have been tempting fate by even promoting the event on You Tube, all went well and the guests were varied and valued past and present patrons gained over the years. While it was a casual affair, excellent Italian red and white wine flowed freely accompanied by pasta, pizza, assorted salads and finely sliced Parma ham, salami and other tasty Italian morsels. While S.F would have very much enjoyed the event, but sadly waylaid in India, G and A came along and it was nice to catch up with M at the same time.
La Piazzetta, also now has its own sister restaurant in Wanchai where Pomodoro use to be. Again, Paolo with his love of the finer things in life has completely re-fitted the venue and this promises to provide Wanchai with not just an other Italian restaurant but also another quality one at that. More details later!
