Over the years, Grissini has developed a devoted fan base among foodies enamored by the restaurant’s authentic Italian cooking. The restaurant, named after the beloved Italian breadstick, presents a multi-sensorial experience that begins the moment you step through their doors. Immediately, the fragrant smell of bread washes over you, thanks to the large oven quietly churning out warm grissinis at the entrance.

The decor is a feast for the eyes. At the undeniably chic and inviting hotspot, guests can soak in panoramic views of Victoria Harbour through the large windows, or relax on any of their Philippe Starck chairs. There’s also a floor-to-ceiling vinotheque, stacked with a thousand bottles of Italian wines, that’s a wonder to behold.

The sensory experience extends into the meal itself, with dishes that strike the right balance between comfort and innovation. We love the homemade potato gnocchi smothered in smoked Provola cheese and sprinkled with crispy piglet Guanciale and black truffle. The grilled scallops are another big hit, with cauliflower cream and hints of vanilla, almonds, and green apple.

For authentic Italian fare that’s big and bold in flavour, settle for nothing less than Grissini. (Mar 2017)

THE BUZZ

“For the main course, the roasted snapper dish served with sauteed broccoli is a first-rate combination of flavours, the firm fish and crisp broccoli highlighted with the addition of herring caviar and a light kick of chilli.” –HK Tatler
