New Italian restaurants like La Volta, Alma and Twist are leading a pasta charge this autumn offering old classics and new twists
Summer is starting to draw to a close, and so too are the season’s viral food trends. Pineapple buns, Dubai chocolate and gelato may have defined the year thus far, but it appears that something a little more homestyle is bubbling away for the autumn.
It’s all about pasta, apparently. Over the span of a few months, a number of new Italian restaurants – many of them jazz-handing about their house-made pasta – have opened in Hong Kong.
I’m convinced that this trend is an economic indicator. In the face of a rising cost of living (from the consumer side) and the increased challenges of surviving (from the restaurant side), the enduring appeal of simple Italian cuisine and, in particular, wholesome plates of pasta seems to tackle issues on both sides.
