New Restaurant Filo Cibo e Vino Opens In Hong Kong

Hot off the press! Salivate over authentic Italian flavors and scrumptious dishes inspired by the capital of food – Parma – in the newest neighborhood eatery to arrive in Soho. Filo Cibo e Vino will take its diners on a gastronomic journey where fresh ingredients, sharing plates, and homemade pastas will be the main highlights.

Cibo e Vino, meaning food and wine, have always been a common Filo or ‘thread’ in bringing people together and that is exactly what Chef Filippo has in mind – to connect people through the comfort dishes of his hometown in northern Italy.

Begin with starters designed for sharing such as cold cuts from Parma as well as cultural twists on Burrata dishes. Go for a Burrata classic mixed with cold cuts (HK$298) or venture out of the norm and try the Burrata Fritta e Salsa di Pomodoro (HK$228) – a fried burrata with tomato and basil sauce.

Other signature must-try dishes include the Cacciucco alla Livorneses (HK$198), a seafood stew – comprised of Sicilian red prawns, mussels, seabass, octopus and calamari – with mouth-watering scents that will transport diners to the coast of Tuscany.

Sustainably sourced ingredients from Italy continue to take center stage with Filo’s homemade pastas. Made freshly, in-house every day – it will be hard to choose just one. Try the Tortelli di Zucca Nocciola e Salvia (HK$188), a pumpkin ravioli with hazelnut and sage. Or if you prefer something meatier, indulge in the Brasato di Manzo al Barolo e Polenta (HK$278) – a braised beef in Barolo wine and polenta. Pair your perfect meals with an extensive and exceptional selection of hand-picked Italian wines or cocktails.

End on a sweet note with classic delights such as Chef Filippo’s Tiramisu (HK$78), where the chef treats you to his family recipe. Dessert lovers will also want to try the Panna Cotta al Cioccolato Bianco e Frutti Rossi (HK$88), a white chocolate panna cotta with strawberry sponge, served with raspberry sauce.

With an explanation of a dish’s origins to perfectly prepared plates in a cozy setting, Filo Cibo e Vino is a must-try for your next outing!
