週末於中環大館到此一遊後，就來到Monteverdi Restaurant & Bar 吃正宗意大利傳統菜肴。After visiting Tai Kwun at Central last weekend, I came to Monteverdi Restaurant & Bar for dinner. 昏黃的燈光映照下，瀰漫著浪漫情調，非常適合情侶來撐枱腳。The atmosphere is quite romantic under the dim light which is very suitable for couples. 餐牌主打正宗的傳統意大利菜，選擇不算少。The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Italian cuisine.點擊圖片放大 +2 點菜後，侍應就會奉上烘得暖暖的餐包拌以橄欖油及黑醋。The waiter served a bread basket mixed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar after taking our order. Calamari Rings $98平時吃魷魚圈多數是炸的，這道前菜以香草代替厚厚的炸醬，再加上檸檬蛋黃醬反能更加襯托出海鮮的原汁原味。Most people think of fried calamari rings, however this appetizer replaces the thick deep fry batter with mix herbs and lemon mayo dipping sauce which can elevate the refreshing seafood flavor. 魷魚肉質彈牙爽口不會太韌，微辣開胃，喚醒沉睡中的味蕾。These calamari rings are chewy and irresistible but not too tough. This dish is a little bit spicy and appetizing which can awaken your taste buds. Tagliatelle with Fresh Porcini Mushroom in Cream Sauce $260這碟意粉為是日Special Menu，不在a la carte單點菜單。This pasta is shown in special menu but not in a la carte menu. 肥嘟嘟的鮮牛肝菌帶有泥土芳香，寬扁麵煮出Al dente輕微韌度的口感，每一根都掛上濃滑的奶香。You can easily taste the earthy flavor of these thick fresh porcini. Tagliatelle is al dente and is well-mixed with rich creamy sauce. Grilled Pork Chop (Signature) $310賣相猶如羊架，表層烤得帶有焦香，豬肉通常脂肪含量較高，更能細味當中的脂香豐腴。This thick and well-grilled pork chop looks like lamb rack, pork meat has a higher level of fat compared to poultry or many cuts of beef, and that soluble fat is also able to absorb and retain flavors very well. 平時食到的煎豬扒通常都是又韌又乾，但這裡的厚切豬鞍保持嫩滑多汁，發出陣陣油香。Usually pork chop tends to dry out easier but this thick pork chop still remains juicy, tender and flavorful. Chocolate Mousse $78朱古力mousse被細緻軟綿綿的蛋糕所包裹，令口感更富層次感。The chocolate mousse is wrapped in delicate and soft cakes which provides multi-layered texture. mousse質地柔滑細緻，深醇濃郁的可可韻味足以滿足我這個朱古力控。The chocolate mousse is creamy with an intense chocolate taste which can satisfy any chocoholic.
