Isola

Frommer's Review

This Central newcomer bills itself as Hong Kong's most stunning waterfront restaurant. While there are other waterfront properties, what sets this one apart is its extensive outdoor terrace with panoramic views over the harbor, along with a popular bar with views and a balcony. Even in inclement weather, the restaurant's crisp white interior with a glass facade is an inviting venue. But don't expect a quiet tête-à-tête, since this bustling place, with an open kitchen, does a roaring business. All the pasta is handmade, the large, stone-baked, thin-crust pizzas can be ordered with different ingredients on each half (making them good for two people to share), and all the meat and fish arrive fresh at the restaurant instead of frozen. Main dishes include the likes of oven-broiled black cod with lemon, capers, and parsley and roasted veal chop with sage mashed potatoes, asparagus, and mushroom sauce. Lunch is a good time for grazers, who can choose their meal entirely from the antipasto buffet (which costs HK$188/US$24/£13 weekdays and HK$198/US$26/£14 weekends) or add a main dish to create their own fixed-price meal.
