Castellana Restaurant Hong Kong
Iconic medieval details and vibrant colours provide the backdrop for Castellana Hong Kong, designed by JJ Acuna / Bespoke Studio and located in Central’s Duddell Street, home to the city’s award-winning restaurants.
Serving fine Piedmont cuisine, Castellana captures the authentic eating pleasure of the Italian region uniquely situated at the borders of France and Switzerland. The menu highlights the bold flavours of Italy’s famous Fassona free-range beef, homemade Bottoni ravioli, fresh cheeses, and fine vegetables paired with Piedmont wine and white truffles.
The first Hong Kong Castellana at Causeway Bay is also the first establishment outside the region. Apart from the food, the interiors carry the classical features of the original restaurant in Piedmont, which is housed inside a historic Italian castle complete with a church and room for monks.
The friendly space is made more dynamic with the wine and dry-aged meats and cheese display, the main components of Piedmont’s dining pleasure. It’s the only place in Hong Kong where one can get Piedmont wines. And reminiscent of the monks’ rooms in the churches in Italy, privacy is defined by curtains and cabinetry, which easily invoke curiosity among diners.
