Disappointing lunch
The rating is high, but I think it is definitely not worth it. The taste is lacking. The best dish should be the Italian rice, but I was not impressed! But I couldn't order a la carte at noon, so I had a set meal, and ate a lot of food that tasted very ordinary. I was disappointed that the main course and dessert, even the Italian Tiramisu, a simple Tiramisu that I can make, couldn't be done well. It was a big failure. The beef noodles were overcooked, and one dish of fish was cooked just right. The other dish of fish was overcooked! And it was too bland. The starter was too salty, the bread was nothing special, and the butter was too bland. In short, I think the standard is unstable. The price-performance ratio is not high. I think the taste of the western restaurants next door is better than this one. No wonder there are not many people. It is easy to book a table at any time.

This is very high-end cuisine for what is effectively a set lunch. There were a minimum of three courses but I would have preferred only two at lunch but the portion sizes were just right so that I didn't feel overfull. The staff were very polite and got the balance right on being attentive but also discreet. The restaurant is very elegantly decorated and the tables well spaced apart to enable private conversations. A bit on the expensive side but well worth the money.

I went here with my friends who are visiting Hong Kong - we had such a fantastic evening. Everything about this space is incredible - food, service and interior. The highlight of my night was the cheese platter in which you can choose 3 from their selection! Such a hidden spot on Duddell Street, too. If you're looking for somewhere special, we highly recommend this location.

Castellana is definitely one of the best Italian fine dining restaurants in HK! This new location is much more spacious and the decor is elegant yet fun and what I can say about the food, everything was just perfect. Here’re some of my absolute favorites of the night: Artic char tartare - the artic char was so fresh you could almost taste the river! Its salty, smokey, and the citrusy sauce was a perfect addition to cut the richness of the fish. I could eat 2 plates of this! Asti-style bell pepper - this dish looked a little unassuming but as soon as you take a bite, you’d immediately want to go for second and third until you finish the whole thing! Who knew bell pepper and tuna could complement each other so well! Buttoni ravioli stuffed blue lobster - who doesn’t like lobster?!? These raviolis were filled with a generous amount of lobster meat. The pasta was al dante and you could taste the sweetness of the lobster in the broth. SO GOOD! Mont blanc with white truffle - my first time having truffle in dessert and it blew my mind 🤯 the mont blanc itself wasn’t excessively sweet and the truffle did not overpower it, you could still taste the chestnut and the silky smooth whipped cream with the aroma of the truffle filled in your month. Just writing about it makes my mouth watering 🤤 The servers were attentive and knowledgeable about the food. It was definitely one of my best fine dining experiences!

It’s a 5-course menu. Except for the dessert, all dishes were featured in the 6-course festive season menu of the restaurant.
Japanese sea urchin panna cotta wasn’t bad but the taste could have been more intense. Foie gras mousse wrapped in veal with fig was a little disappointing. The dish tasted very bland and more efforts could have been put into the presentation.
Fortunately the 2 dishes which followed (i.e. gnocchi with cuttlefish and squid ink and guinea fowl with celery root purée and black truffle) were so much better and absolutely delicious. The meat of the poultry was cooked to perfection. It’s both flavourful and juicy.
Piedmont hazelnut ice-cream with thyme crumble was more than good enough.
The food would have been overpriced without the credit card promotion. But since we only paid half price for the menu, it’s a good bargain.
Very nice lunch
Went there with my friend for a quick lunch and we ordered their set lunch which turned our to be very delicious. Also their service was also outstanding. Will definitely come back again

My 4-course lunch included:
- potato cream, burned leek powder and black truffle shavings
- homemade tagliolini, “au koque” carbonara (one of my favourite dishes of the restaurant)
- braised short rib with aged Comté foam
- pear in Barolo wine with homemade vanilla gelato (very refreshing).
All the dishes were delicious especially the pasta and the dessert.
I didn’t take any dish to which a supplement applied. It’s HK$480 for the food. I think the price was very reasonable.
I’ll definitely return.
Interesting tasting menu
Interesting Italian restaurant, we had the set menu choosing the 8 courses. The pigeon was an absolute delicacy cooked to perfection. Really enjoyable little gem
Be the first to ReplyVery good lunch
I’d dinner in Castellana some months ago and loved the food there. I decided to go there again after a friend had told me that my beloved Rubia Gallega steak was featured in its lunch menu.
I couldn’t help nibbling on the freshly homemade sourdough bread while waiting for my food. My starter of agnolotti stuffed with beef with veal reduction sauce was very delicious. I loved the firm texture of the pasta.
The dry age Rubia Gallega ribeye was slow cooked to perfection. Rubia Gallega (Galician Blond) is from old cows from Galicia in northwestern Spain. The special blonde cows are usually tended much longer than the average USDA Prime or Japanese Kobe. During this time the marbling matures and the beef is given a distinctly intense flavour with a wonderful balance of marbling and beefiness. I understand only a handful of outlets in Hong Kong serve the renowned steak.
The Piedmontese crème brûlée was very good too.
Considering the food quality, comfort level and service standard, it’s very good value for money.
Highly recommended.
A Piedmont restaurant in town
This Italian restaurant is located on 10/F of Cubus in Causeway Bay, specializing in Piedmont cuisine. As a wine fanatic the region is not new for me, having drunk a fair share of Barolo, Barbaresco or Moscato d’Asti, but this is the first time I sample some authentic Piedmont dishes.
Stepping out the elevator the restaurant gave us a nice impression, with good lighting of a soft tone, neat and simple decor yet creating a warm and cozy ambience. Ceiling high wine racks serve as both cellar and partitions, and at the back is a semi-open kitchen seeing glimpses of action inside.
We decided to go for the tasting menu ‘Journey Around the World’ ($1,680 each) with me also opting for wine pairing ($1,100 additional). The Amuse Bouche is very nicely put together, with some langoustine mixed with finely chopped red bell pepper, onion and together with a mousse made with tuna, is fantastic in taste, highlighting each components of the original flavours with good integration.
The first course is Scampo con il caviale, with the Norwegian langoustine cooked perfectly to remain tender and soft on texture, putting on top of an abundance of Cristal caviar and chopped cucumber. The sauce is made with egg yolk and giving a beautiful yellow colour, making the whole dish a visual feast of colours. The popping texture of the caviar with the umami notes complements the fresh and sweet taste of the langoustine. The wine paired is Champagne Jeeper Brut Grand Assemblage NV.
The second course is Asparagi, with the soup made from asparagus coming from Bassano del Grappa. The chef used the white asparagus to make the soup, then placed a foam made using the green asparagus on top. Adding with Grana Padano cheese, which gives a nutty taste, and flakes of ‘Vigezzo’ cured ham, providing smoky and savoury notes to the soup. The wine paired is Ceretto Arneis ‘Blange’ 2019 from Langhe.
The third course is Tagliatelle & ricci, a homemade tagliatelle pasta with Japanese sea urchin and ‘Tarallo’ bread crumbs. The texture of the pasta is very good, with a nice bite. The sauce is made with sea urchin, with the bread crumbs giving a crunchy as well as a bit of salty to season the pasta. The chef also served separately some sea urchin on shell, meeting the needs of big fans of the seafood to have additional pieces. The wine paired is Vie di Romans Dessimis Pinot Grigio 2017.
The fourth course is Il ‘Plin’, another homemade agnolotti pasta from Piedmont, looking like a mini pillow, with fowl and pork as fillings. This pasta is even better than the last one in my opinion, with a slightly firmer texture, and the fillings are great in taste, and the chef added a veal reduction sauce to further enrich the flavours, together with some Grana Padano chips. A must-try. The wine paired is Sordo ‘Rapuje’ Rosso 2010 from Langhe.
The fifth course is “Pesce Pietra’, with Japanese wild rockfish prepared using the ‘Ikejime’ method, a humane way to kill the fish immediately and also prevent the muscle movement in the reflex actions to build up lactic acid in the flesh. The pan-seared fish fillet is lightly seasoned to highlight its original taste, then put in an umami broth together with Albenga artichokes from Liguria and seasonal beans. A great dish to experience the fresh and true flavours. The wine paired is Damilano Chardonnay 2017 from Langhe.
The sixth course is La Guancia, with the Iberico pork cheek slow cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. Underneath is mashed salsify, or oyster plant. The taste is like that of artichoke, with the creamy texture from the preparation technique. On the side are some ginger mayo with beetroot powder shavings to add a nice red colour. Another of my favourites in the evening. The wine paired is Pelissero Barbaresco Nubiola 2015.
The seventh and last course is Marzapane & caviale, with homemade hazelnut marzipan gelato, red cauliflower chips, passion fruit gel, and interestingly, some ‘Cristal’ caviar! The first experience I had a dessert with caviar as ingredients, but surprisingly the flavours are highly complementary with the gelato, with the sweet almond and dairy note from the marzipan matching with the umami of the caviar. The crispy cauliflower chip not only adding the colour to beautify the dish but also gave extra texture. The wine paired is Ca’ Rugate La Perlara 2015, a Recioto di Soave.
The service is good throughout, and I also recognized their effort in resolving my mistake when making the reservation. Intending to come for dinner, I somehow booked incorrectly online for lunch instead. The restaurant ended up calling me when I did not turn up after 45 minutes, and then helped to change my reservation, with the restaurant fully booked on the night. I really appreciate their effort here. The overall dining experience is good and joyful with the staff taking the time to explain each dish to us. While it might be a bit expensive with the bill at $5,166 I would still recommend coming to sample some of their signature dishes, and also their range of wines from Piedmont.
Sophisticated Italian dining embedded in regional influences.
A special anniversary dinner after months of lock-down. We wanted something special where we could dress-up, and enjoy being pampered and well dined. Castellana with its Piedmont flavours was an adventure and the nearest thing to a holiday away. New flavours of food and wines. We went for the 8 wine pairing to celebrate 8 years of marriage.
