Castellana

HK$1200 per person

Castellana brings promises of Piedmont’s culinary richness that are designed to cosset and comfort—one cannot think about the area without calling to mind the intoxicating aroma of its truffles, the deep and robust profiles of its Barolos and Barbarescos, and the richness and butter that courses through the veins of its gastronomic offerings. Behind the venue is Marco Sacco, of two Michelin-starred Piccolo Lago in Verbania—a picturesque fine dining restaurant overlooking the still waters of Lake Mergozzo and Montorfano (the “orphan mountain”). Staying true to the culinary identity of the Piedmont region, Castellana integrates not only the signature dishes of Piccolo Lago into the menu in Hong Kong, but presents two other tasting menus that highlight the region’s signature ingredients and preparations as well as a highly seasonal degustation. The sleek presentation and pared down portions of the tasting menu dishes belie the intensity and richness of the flavours, in a successful modernisation of traditional Piemontese dishes, executed superbly by head chef Enrico Degani. We appreciated also the wider range of wines by the glass, with options at every price point—the full bottle list offers a rich array of Italian grapes from north to south.
