Grissini is the Italian word for “breadsticks”, and indeed the entrance of Grissini Restaurant at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong features a large baking oven where fresh breadsticks are prepared in front of the guests, filling the restaurant with a delicious aroma. Grissini commands panoramic views of Victoria Harbour. Its contemporary interior design, Philippe Starck chairs and modern Tony Delapp paintings conjure up the feeling of a stylish New York restaurant. Grissini Restaurant specialises in traditional Italian dining, using only the freshest ingredients to present dishes that are light and refined, yet filling.
Grissini’s private room, with its hand-painted walls and ceiling, emulates the atmosphere of a rustic Italian home. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the restaurant’s main area provide ample amounts of natural light and unobstructed views of Victoria Harbour. The simple yet stylish furnishings embody the cooking philosophy of Grissini’s Chef, authentic Italian cuisine, lovingly prepared with the freshest ingredients. The private room at Grissini is a perfect place for parties of up to 28 people.
Grissini also boasts a wine cellar with an extensive selection of Italian wines. Grissini features a 2-storey wine cellar with an impressive floor to ceiling, one thousand bottle capacity Vinotheque. Of this, the Italian section is effectively a who’s who of the county’s greatest winemaking names, carefully chosen and presented by region in the wine list by Sommelier Christophe Orlarei.
This stylish, airy Italian restaurant, offering some of the best northern Italian fare in town, echoes its palatial setting of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, with a tall ceiling, Philippe Starck-designed chairs, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering a spectacular view of the harbor day or night. Dining is on two levels, giving everyone a ringside seat; it’s a perfect spot for lunch or a romantic dinner.
The aroma of homemade Grissini breadsticks greets you as soon as you enter the restaurant, whetting your appetite, perhaps, for the antipasto misto, a selection of appetizers, or the homemade chestnut pasta with basil pesto and vegetables.
Main dishes on the changing menu have included the likes of roasted garoupa with wine, thyme, Italian fennel, and saffron, and Barolo-braised veal cheek with polenta. The 1,000-bottle wine cellar is exclusively Italian. The lunch menu is lighter, with additional offerings of pasta and risotto. For more information just visit the link below.
