Sole Mio
G/F 47A Elgin Street, SoHo, 28696522
Fare Unpretentious Italian fare with a broad selection of antipasti, fairly predictable pizzas, pasta and risotto dishes, and main courses including old-time favourites such as osso bucco and braised veal shank.
Ambience Tucked away on fashionable Elgin Street, this is a gem of a restaurant with its warm lighting, uncluttered orange walls, tiled floors, low music and crisp white tablecloths. We were greeted on entry not only by the table staff, but also by the three chefs behind the open-plan kitchen counter. The restaurant was buzzing but not loud, and although it's a small venue we didn't feel cramped. The eatery was full on a week night, which is always a good sign. Service was attentive but not overwhelming and our dishes were served promptly.
Cost Bank on about HK$350 a person without drinks for three courses. Pizzas range between HK$98 and HK$135.
Who to bring A down-to-earth friend who enjoys good food and a chat.
