Babbo Trattoria has been on my Radar for a while, but every time I read its menu I just walked away though for the pricing point The likes of Osteria Felice, Trattoria Caffe Monteverdi Ciao Chow, Motorino, Trattoria Queen Hollywood all serve authentic Italian food or with a trusty Japanese twist at nearly half the price. Over here this represents a Taiwanese Chef's interpretation of what is real Italian food. It was excellent indeed, but the pricing policy was way too aggressive. A pizza or pasta here however nice it was, was easily over $208. It actually doesn't make sense when in Naples in Italy a famous Neapolitan Pizza is usually around Euro 4,50 or HKD $39.50 on today's currency conversion rate even at an upper end Pizzeria, a take-away pizza in Naples is only like 1-2 Euro.
Squid Ink Linguine Pasta with Clams, Squid Calamari Rings -
This was quite dark with the ink, and the linguine pasta was cooked perfectly for my liking. Apart of the Basil leaves, there was also a hint of Lemon squeeze,Garlic and I believe some minced Spinach leaves as the base. The Calamari and Clams were flavorful, but not when its around HKD $238. Only at Da Domenico also in Causeway Bay will they dare to charge even more ridiculous prices. That place is totally insane, and only idiots go there and pay $70 for an espresso shot and $800 for a Red Prawn pasta with non-house made but dried pasta lol.
Some Italian Red Wine and Long Island Tea -
Actually whilst the service here was great friendly, my wine was already spoilt. I didn't make a fuss
Calzone Folded Pizza -
They advertize that they make true Neapolitana pizza here. It was true. This really was very good! But it was also quite expensive at over $2xx dollars. But I miss it : D
