Ninetta
It’s the crossover event of the summer: three of Hong Kong’s most dynamic Italian F&B pros have come together to launch Ninetta, a cosy trattoria channelling the comfort and warmth of nonna, zia and mama’s home-cooked meals. Antimo Maria Merone and Graziano De Gregorio, of Estro, and Marco Xodo, formerly of Testina, pay tribute to family tradition through dishes such as handmade gnocchetti with Sicilian red prawns in shellfish broth, tagliatelle with hand-cut braised duck, baby octopus n garlic and chilli with mashed potatoes and veal chop Milanese, in an unpretentious space where shared dishes are plentiful and conversation (and wine) flows freely.
