A brand new Italian restaurant has opened on Lyndhurst Terrace called La Piola. Meaning 'Tavern' in Italian, the restaurant is designed to give local diners an authentic Italian experience, socializing over a glass of wine and enjoying delicious homemade, hearty food cooked in the Piedmont style.
Located in the northwest of Italy, Turin (Torino) is the capital city of Piedmont. The 'slow food' trend originated from this region, as does some of the best rice, risotto and wines. At La Piola, the wine selection focuses on Piedmont wines, some of which are new to the Hong Kong market and exclusive to the restaurant.
On the menu, you'll find Piedmont specialties including Torino styled coffee like the famous 'Bicherin', a daily Apertivo, Barolo and Barbaresco wines and a wide range of cheeses from the Italian alps including Castelmagno, Toma di Lanzo, Toma Raschera and Toma della Paglia.
The following standout dishes were crafted by chef Stefano Rossi from Torino:
croissant ai porcini su fondata di castelmagno (HK$110)
savoury croissant with porcini mushrooms and castelmagno cheese fondue
agnolotti di nonna paolina al sugo d'arrosto (HK$170)
