During the extended dinnertime restrictions of Hong Kong’s fifth wave, Locanda Dell’Angelo Executive Chef Steve Chiu took it upon himself to re-envision the future and direction of the restaurant. With the rising number of great Italian restaurants in Hong Kong, from relaxed and casual to fine dining, Chef Steve decided it was time to re-position the restaurant’s culinary direction to continue fulfilling its most important mission: to provide its guests a truly stand-out dining experience.
Starting from today, Locanda Dell’Angelo unveils its six-course chef’s tasting menu, and with it, Chef Steve’s fresh, contemporary, and exciting new Hong Kong-inspired approach to traditional Italian cuisine. The revamped a la carte menu has been greatly reduced, while retaining long-time Locanda guest favourites.
New 6-Course Chef’s Tasting Menu Experience at Locanda Dell’Angelo
Trained in Italian fine dining at celebrated establishments throughout his career, Chef Steve Chiu brings an elevated twist on classic Italian dishes. Chef Steven’s new six-course tasting menu is priced at HK$1,680+10% per person, and for the first time, brings in influences from his home and birthplace, Hong Kong.
The menu begins with Gambero Rosso, melting Italian red prawn served with sea urchin, local tofu sauce, and hazelnut emulsion; seasonal White Asparagus with stem lettuce, espelette and Hong Kong soy milk mayonnaise; locally caught Silver Pomfret with lardo ham, onion, white fish soup and dill oil; Challans Duck with eggplant, shallot and hua mei plum (Chinese preserved plum) sauce; and Pan-fried Brioche with red bean cream and mascarpone ice-cream.
