As soon as you step into Gradini, located within the classic Pottinger Hotel, you feel you have been transported to old world Italy. The chic European design oozes charm, bringing you away from HK’s busy streets and into a beautiful, intimate setting. Their menu is classic Italian with many dishes we have sampled during our travels through Italy. We started with their perfectly cooked, sweet and plump seared king scallops with cherry tomato confit and arugula salad, and their tender and flavourful beef carpaccio, sliced from quality beef tenderloin and scented with lemon and extra virgin olive oil, wild mushroom and tapenade. For our pasta course we shared the fresh and fragrant homemade taglioni which was topped with a generous portion of meaty Maine lobster, fresh tomato and basil. For mains we loved the tender roasted rack of lamb which came with a lovely herb crust and chianti mustard, and the highlight of our meal, the salt crusted whole Italian line-caught sea bass served table side was a true taste of Europe with perfect, melt in your mouth sea bass and complimentary flavours of aromatic herbs. Make sure to end your meal with the Chocolate al Tartufo, fusing a unique combination of sea salt and chocolate truffle, creating an ideal finish to a romantic meal. A successful venture for Italian Chef, Giovanni Greggio and a Hungry Hong Kong favourite.
