Casa Cucina & Bar — Restaurant in Hong Kong

House of Flavours March is a super long month, that’s why we need a break. I dated my friend to go to SYP for dinner after work. We saw this new restaurant on the main road. It is a restaurant with open settings, people chilling at the window seats!

First we ordered our drinks to begjn with then the staff served us a warm basket of bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Amaretto Sour$98 It tastes great, it's easy to drink! Sweet and Sour from the lemon juice, the drops of bitter balance the drink and add an extra kick to the drinksmile

Passion Fruit Bellini$58 Very sweet drink for ladies because of the peach purée. This drink is filled with delights of natural flavours.

Clams$128 The white wine and cream sauce is the star! It’s light like soup, you can drink it, perfect taste, useful for dipping the toasts in. The clams are cooked well not rubbery like other restaurants! Really like heavenly like sauce.

Fritto Misto$180 Its a dish of deep fried seafood, which include prawns, calamari, scallop and fish! Their homemade chilli mayo is yum, goes harmoniously with the deep fried foodsmileThe scallops still be able to remain its juices inside the batter!Fish is boneless so very easy to consume...

Steak Taglata$268 This is a medium cooked hanger steak. The Butcher’s steaks is full of flavours as it is located at the lower belly of the cow, so the lacks of exercises make this cut extra tender! Look at the color of the steak, its like an artpiece by the chef. Another star of the dish will be the mash, super smooth and buttery, goes so well with every single element on the plate, the cherry tomatoes,

Stuffed Calamari$188 The calamari is stuffed with puntalette , crab meat and sea urchin, just like a treasure box from the ocean! The puntalette is a rice-shaped pasta, perfect to be used to stuff inside the squid. It absorbs the natural sweetness from the crab meat. The white treasure matches well with the oceany squid ink sauce!

Tiramisu$58 Toufu Panna Cotta$58 To end the meal, we have to order these two traditional desserts from the menu. Tiramisu, the classic Italian dessert is made with sponge and mascarpone cheese. Rich yet light mascarpone just barely sweetened is perfectly complimented by the bitter, coffee-soaked lady fingers. A dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder finished it off beautifully. Swoon! Tofu Panna Cotta, texture is just like a HK street snack, toufu fa, but this italian pudding is extra special! The softly set pudding that, at its most elemental, is made with toufu, very rich in tastesmile Flavourful spoonful melts in the mouth right away.

The staff is very helpful and patient in explaining the menu as there are some traditional italian ingredients which we might not be familiar with! They are very quick in changing the plates and filling the glasses for us. Even the mask envelope looks so pretty! Very...

I was thrilled to try this newly opened resto and it was a disappointing and unpleasant experience. we ordered scallop carpaccio, Frito misto, duck ragu pappardelle, tofu pana cotta, and tiramisu. I love the tofu panna cotta, the pasta was not bad too, but the rest were all just so so. I actually wanted to order stuff calamari, clams and chicken parmigiana, and they told me all these dishes sold out... Our booking is 8:30, and I saw lots guests still coming in.. basically there left nothing much to order from the menu.. Obviously they were not well prepared to accept all these reservations. The staff told me these sold out dishes are limited .. I was like u should have told me earlier when I made the booking which items are limited.. Besides, all the staffs were unfriendly, none of them were attentive... they never came to pour any wine or water for us until we wave at them. I thought I was in “cha Chan teng” 🤦🏻‍♀️ but the funny thing is they only became attentive when they wanted to collect your dishes (which we were still working on it) it was quite annoying.. Here comes the epic part, we ordered a bottle of wine, and one sleepy staff came and she poured the wine into our glasses, I noticed that’s not the wine I ordered , and I told her, and she was like silent, stoned, stood there and did nothing, the other staff saw it and came over took that wrong bottle of wine away without sounding apologetic... both rude/sleepy servers said nothing at all! I saw they pour the wine back into the bottle at the back of the counter.. my friend and I saw it, and we were both shock and felt disgusted. A manager probably saw our amazed look and asked us what happened, we told him about it, and he was like “oh...” then walked away, he didn’t apologise or did anything to make it up to us... and they came back with the correct bottle of wine without apologies again, predictable 😂. Overall, yes, the interior seems nice, but poor service and inconsistent food quality.. won’t revisit and...
