Va Bene

This stylish Italian restaurant, in the middle of Central's Lan Kwai Fong nightlife district, strives for elegant simplicity in both food and decor, making it a good choice for a romantic meal away from the surrounding hubbub. The long, dimly lit dining room's most eye-catching features are a wine cellar that extends the length of one wall and a sky-blue ceiling etched with floating clouds. Serving consistently creative and excellent trattoria cuisine from across Italy, it has been popular with Hong Kong's well-heeled expat community for more than 2 decades. Perhaps you'll want to start with super-thin carpaccio, followed by one of the homemade pastas like fresh pasta pockets filled with meat ragout in sage, butter, bacon, and black truffle. As a main course, you can choose from a number of veal, beef, and seafood dishes cooked to draw out natural flavors, including black cod with red bell pepper sauce and fennel-flavored zucchini. Good Italian wines, great desserts, and attentive service round out the meal.
