Italian dining – Hong Kong style

Domani opened last month with the ambition of being Hong Kong’s finest Italian dining establishment. With Mauro Uliassi, a Michelin star chef behind the menu, a contemporary and artistic glass gazebo to call home and a relaxed ambience of modern elegance, Domani is set to reignite Hong Kong’s dining scene.

2 Michelin Star Chef, recipient of three prized Gambero Rosso forks and this year’s winner of the prestigious Kungsfenan Award for the best seafood restaurant in the world, Mauro Uliassi’s menu for Domani takes its culinary cue from the traditions of the north eastern Adriatic Coast of Italy, specifically the seaside towns of Senigallia and Ancona. It will serve variations of traditional dishes including unique combinations of flavours and ingredients.

Mouth-watering specialties of the house include dishes like Albanella di crostacei e molluschi prepared by cooking langoustine, tiger prawns, crabs, clams, shrimp, and vegetables and seasonings individually, then placing them in a bell jar to lock in the flavours. The jar is heated and shaken before serving, and theatrically finally opened in front of the diner for maximum appreciation of the aromas. Further menu items include fondente di patate con gelatina di tartufo nero e mazzancolle which combines prawns, vegetables, truffles and black squid ink with seasoning and herbs to celebrate the seasonal delicacy and subtle flavours of the truffle.

Mauro Uliassi also has a restaurant in Senigallia where for the last 18 years he has served Italian classics in inventive ways at his flagship restaurant, Uliassi.

This month, Chef Mauro and his reputed crew have put together 5 special selection menus that will truly captivate the senses for the coming festive season. For Christmas day dinner, seven delectable courses will be served along with Domani’s finest Italian wine for HKD 1,200 per head.The menu includes: a smoked pork loin with grana padano cheese as a starter, later a homemade veal cappelletti in traditional Christmas broth and to end this sumptuous feast, a decadent torroncino semifreddo, hazelnut crumble and chocolate ice cream.

Other special menus can be enjoyed for Christmas Eve Dinner & Lunch as well as Boxing Day and New Years Eve Dinner.

Domain is located at Level 4, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty, Hong Kong.
