No.106, 47 Yongfu Lu, near Fuxing Lu Grade : *** / *****
A lovely and small Italian restaurant with self made pizzas and pasta. Romantic and unique environment with an extensive selection of Italian classics.
We had the chance of tasting the Potatoe Soup, great taste and texture. Recommended for all of you missing the grandma style of cooking.
The Spaghetti with Waygu Lamb and Tomatoe sauce was completely outstanding. The meat completely blended with the sauce, giving it a powerful taste. In the other side the Linguini with Pesto Sauce was just OK, nothing remarkable about a standard style cooked pesto.
The only problem, the price. Don't expect nothing cheap as all ingredients are imported and the mark up on all products is very high. Expect a 200-300RMB meal per person. For such price the competition in Shanghai is just crazy.
Bottom line, good place to go for a special ocassion in the heart of one of the most boiling streets of the city. After dinner you can jump up to the Club Apartment or have one of the best cocktails of the city in El Cocktail, owned by the successful Spanish Chef El Willy.
