Among the many Italian restaurants in Hong Kong, few specialise in the cuisine of a region as well as Castellana. In focusing on the food of Piedmont—home to slow food and white truffles—Castellana has a depth of gastronomic treasures to draw from. The tasting menu changes with the seasons, but the signature homemade tagliolini carbonara always stays, and is a cheesy, eggy delight. The wine list is heavy on reds from the region, in particular Barolo and Barbaresco, the dining room is hushed and intimate, and service is informed and attentive.

Tatler Tip

For a mix of privacy and atmosphere, the best tables are the ones by the windows.
