Discover Ninetta, Hong Kong’s Cozy Italian Trattoria In Central
Warm Famiglia Style Dining Inspired By Nonna In Central
Looking for a hot new restaurant that is also family-friendly? Ninetta, a lively Italian trattoria that opened in June in the heart of Central, celebrates the joyful spirit of Italian hospitality and family feasts. Co-founded by Antimo Merone and Graziano De Gregorio of award-winning Estro, and led by Head Chef Marco Xodo, this welcoming neighborhood restaurant serves straightforward, high-quality Italian classics meant for sharing.
Pronounced “nee-NET-ta,” the name evokes a beloved Italian matriarch whose table is always full. The cozy space blends nostalgic 1980s and 1990s design touches with warm earthy tones and a sunny outdoor terrace, creating the perfect backdrop for relaxed family meals, long lunches, or lively evening aperitivo. Whether you are stopping by for espresso or settling in for a generous feast, Ninetta feels like a warm hug from Nonna.
Little Steps Highlights
- Authentic Italian trattoria with 32 dishes across antipasti, handmade pastas, hearty sharing mains, and classic desserts, all served famiglia style so everyone can taste a little bit of everything.
- Led by Chef Marco Xodo, whose impressive career includes Michelin-starred kitchens in Hong Kong and Shanghai, bringing refined yet approachable cooking to every plate.
- Vibrant yet comfortable atmosphere with Italian spritzes, zero-proof drinks, and a wine list celebrating Italy from north to south — something for every member of the family. Plus a beautiful terrace to enjoy the cooler months!
