At the Ritz-Carlton, Toscana Italian restaurant, with its high ceilings and large oil paintings depicting scenes from Venice is one of our two favorites of Hong Kong's finest in classical Italian.

A meal at Toscana is a culinary experience, where the innovative, award-winning Chef Umberto Bombana has spent 10 years perfecting his magic with fresh ingredients from Italy to create signature flavors and a benchmark dining experience. A great restaurant for a power lunch, Toscana is a favorite destination for Hong Kong's most influential politicians and businessmen. The menu may appear to display traditional standards, however, the tastes of these dishes excel beyond imagination while white truffle season offers cuisine unrivalled by many of the best of the cities Italian restaurants. Bombana's Selection offers a five-course sampler of the famous chef's culinary masterpieces, with optional paired wines specially selected by the restaurant sommelier. Specialties include parma ham riserva with baby artichokes, dover sole with oregano, and roasted rack of lamb. Menu favorites are listed below and each is dish is an exceptional example of Italian haute cuisine. For dessert, try the warm carob chocolate cake with homemade vanilla ice cream and almonds.

The, practically faultless, service is a milestone that most 5-star restaurants should strive for. The wine list is substantial and boasts a few Italian varietals not readily found in Hong Kong and the sommelier is pleased to select an ideal companion for your meal.
