Pazta brings authentic Italian to Tai Kwun
If Chrismas is the season of giving, then December must be the season of comforting flavours—and what’s more heart-warming than the simple home-cooked dishes of Italian food? Newly opened Pazta brings the best of Venetian, Bolognese, Roman, and Sardinian cuisine to Hong Kong, recreating the quintessential Italian piazza restaurant in the courtyard of Tai Kwun. Expect an assortment of hand-picked wines, sophisticated cocktails, and rich Italian coffees to enjoy in the casual alfresco dining space and continue the gastronomic journey indoors with vibrant flavours and a buzzing atmosphere.
Highlights from the menu include the pizzette Margherita ($90) topped with mozzarella and basil; il ghiottone ($390), a mixed sharing platter of hot and cold starters, such as Parma ham, Tuscan pâté, beef carpaccio, and more; pappardelle al cinghiale e olive nere ($150), a dish of thick egg pasta with slow-cooked wild boar, Tuscan red wine sauce, and black olives; and the exemplary espresso tiramisu ($80). Don’t leave without trying Pazta’s cocktails—Foresta ($100), created from a blend of green bitters, amaro Montenegro, and bubbly grapefruit soda, is a must.
