Motorino

Well-known Brooklyn/East Village (NYC) pizzeria just opened up 4 days ago in HK. Had the pleasure of eating lunch there today. Set lunch came with a fresh green salad dressed with olive oil and I think, balsamic vinegar, a choice of pizzas and a soft drink/iced tea. Pizza quality, I would argue, was of the original location's level (ie. Some of the best I've had in the US). Pizza was half margherita/half without the cheese; need to try marinara next time. Working out a few kinks with the timing of dishes, but otherwise, service was pleasant and very helpful. Totally made my week and its only Monday. Blackberry camera does the pizza an injustice...

Recent second visit for dinner yielded pizza of same quality. Best crust in HK, chewy, just enough salt. Margherita as good as in previous visit. Marinara (no cheese but garlic and other spices in sauce fantastic as were others. Tiramisu was good, but nothing special.




Set lunch of HKD 118 +10% service charge. Dinner about HKD 200 per person (1 pizza pp, 1 app and 1 dessert split 4 ways)
