Pizzeria Italia - Kennedy Town — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

Recommended by a friend who said they had pizzas with a really good pizza base and excellent toppings. For this, I would give 5 stars as their pizzas were excellent and I was very happy. The pizza was crispy at the edges with a super texture inside. Why only 4 stars... We arrived at a quiet time, we were the only dine-in customers. Along with the pizza, we ordered a Greek salad and an starter of Melon and Prosciutto. The salad arrived first, it was very well dressed, bit we were confused why it didn't have any feta cheese. We asked and there seemed be a panic in the kitchen and several minutes later a slice of feta in oil and herbs arrived. We added this to our dish. The pizza came soon. After eating the two dishes, we realised that the melon and prosciutto starter never arrived. I asked for the bill and it wasn't on the bill either. It was totally forgotten. This seems a common problem in Hong Kong where restaurants appear to want their waiting staff to take orders without writing anything down in front of the customer, yet in Hong Kong it never appears to work. I didn't complain about the missing starter and I was happy it was forgotten from the bill as well. However, this and the salad error during a quiet time is not very forgivable. I would certainly go back for the pizza,...

This is one of the very few places in Hong Kong that boasts authentic formula Italian Pizza just as it's made in Italy in a Pizzeria there. The Pizzeria Italia boasts a history of over 20 years using the same original pizza base formula ensuring a consistent taste and texture that is arguably unmatched by any other pizza operator in Hong Kong.

The restaurant also serves a variety of Italian dishes to a high standard such as lasagne, gnocchi as well as pastas. In addition there are a few other dishes that while not strictly Italian, nonetheless taste very good, such as the shrimps/prawns cooked in extra virgin with garlic and herbs, which is highly popular.

Service is good and staff are friendly and helpful. The prices are medium and good value for money. The restaurant itself is unpretentious and you won't feel uncomfortable as you would in a posh Italian restaurant. The feeling can be described as homely and cozy. Most highly recommended ! There is another popular branch at 46 High Street, Sai Ying Pun, also Hong...

#Latepost Been here twice and ended up eating some of the dishes again n again 🤣 which means some of them were good.

Here’s what we tried: Tiramisu 👍🏽 Funghi E Cipolle 👍🏽 Linguini Con Pollo E Funghi 👍🏽 Spaghetti el pesto 😣 (the pesto sauce flavour was way too strong) Affogato Al chocolate 🫠😏(ok ok 😕better not try)

The ambience was good. Not too loud. Nice place for a bunch of friends to sit and chitchat or just chill, watch people or just do nothing 🤓

The restaurant is on the 2nd floor and you need to climb ~20-30 small steps before you reach the entrance. Pre-requisite: Be in good health (average health is also fine 🤓) Or you can always pretend sick 😷 and take the lift from the back side of the building.

The staffs are quite cheerful, so in case you’re eating by yourself or if you’re too bored, you can always talk to them.

Most importantly, the price of food is alright in comparison with the quantity. Not so expensive, decently priced.

Minus 1 ⭐️ for the way too strong...
