HR italy — Restaurant in Beyoğlu

Restaurant Review: HR Italy As a pasta enthusiast, I stumbled upon HR Italy on Instagram and was instantly intrigued by their mouthwatering pasta dishes. Naturally, I had to pay them a visit.

I ordered three classics: Tortellini, Fettuccine, and Lasagna. The tortellini was the highlight — rich in flavor and perfectly cooked. The Fettuccine with et fome was equally delightful, with a well-balanced texture and taste. Unfortunately, the lasagna didn’t meet the same standard — the base tomato sauce tasted undercooked and raw, which overpowered the dish and left it lacking depth.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant and inviting, though it's worth noting that the rooftop area can get quite hot during the summer, which affected the overall comfort.

Service was attentive and friendly, and I appreciated how the staff handled everything with care. As for pricing, it was quite reasonable, especially considering the quality of most dishes.

While I don’t see myself returning, I’d still say the experience was generally positive. HR Italy is worth a try if you're a pasta lover, but perhaps skip...

We randomly walked into HR Italy Restaurant after finding it as one of the top searches on Google Maps, and I must say—it did not disappoint! My friend’s kid was craving pasta, so we decided to give it a try, and we’re so glad we did.

We ordered the creamy parmesan and truffle mushroom pasta, and it was absolutely top-notch! The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and incredibly satisfying. As a chef who runs a catering business in Malaysia, I truly appreciate well-executed dishes, and this one exceeded expectations.

Beyond the food, the ambiance was warm, cozy, and intimate, making it a great spot to enjoy a comforting Italian meal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality pasta in the area.

Would...

Italian fare with a great view.

The staff were kind and attentive, and the view from the rooftop terrace is outstanding, especially for sunset and night lights looking across the golden horn to the old city.

It wasn't too crowded, even in the peak of the August tourist season, and staff were attentive and friendly.

Most of the dishes were variations on pasta with cream and parmesan sauce with various add-ons. There were a couple of options with Bolognese if you don't want cream, but fewer vegetable options than I would prefer.

That said, if you want a creamy pasta dish, they do it very well with reasonable prices. Again, the view is outstanding, and that is probably the best reason...
