Castellana Brings Piedmontese Cuisine to the Heart of the City
Helmed by Asti-born Chef Romeo Morelli, CASTELLANA RESTAURANT continues to infuse creative Piedmontese twists into traditional and authentic regional dishes alike.

(September 15, Hong Kong) CASTELLANA, has dutifully paid homage to the culinary landscape and culture of Northern Italy’s Piedmont region since 2019. This September, the restaurant will move to Central and open in a new two-storey space, in Club Lusitano on historic Ice House Street, continuing the CASTELLANA commitment to presenting Hong Kong gourmands with an impeccable Piedmontese culinary journey. Under the direction of Executive Chef Romeo Morelli, CASTELLANA has unveiled new lunch and dinner menus that showcase the incredibly rich and diverse gastronomic landscape of Piedmont: the Slow Food Movement started in the region, while the area is also home to some of the greatest truffles available anywhere in the world.

At CASTELLANA’s new abode, Chef Romeo is proud to introduce a new dinner set menu, titled “Traditional Piedmontese Recepì Around The World” (HK$1,280 for four courses or HK$1,580 for six courses), that draws inspiration from the varied terroir and storied gastronomy of the region, while combining Piedmontese culinary traditions with other food cultures that span the globe. History is readily apparent in dishes like Girello di vitello invecchiato, a seasoned round of dry-aged veal that utilizes the centuries-old Piedmontese art of salting and seasoning of the meat using mountain herbs and oil, with a topping of Toma Piemontese cream cheese. From the sea, Acciuga per intero (whole Cantabrian anchovies with acidic butter and green parsley sauce) harks back to the Roman method of salt preservation; while Finanziera, a soup of calf liver, sweetbreads, kidney and cockscomb that was first invented in 1450 in Chef Romeo’s hometown of Monferrato, is a hearty, thoroughly warming dish where chicken and veal parts are fried and then cooked in a sauce of Marsala wine.

Further down the menu, Gnocchi is made by hand from red potatoes using a method inherited from Chef Romeo’s grandmother, then glazed in a vegetable broth reduction and accompanied with duck thigh stewed for hours over coals. The Salmerino di montagna, Arctic char with carrots, is a star dish where Piedmont's finest river fish is cooked over embers until the skin is irresistibly crunchy, before being served with carrot and citrus sauce.

The restaurant’s new Central location makes it a convenient lunchtime escape to Italy, and the “Lunch Break” menu (HK$480 for two courses or HK$580 for three courses) offers a concise but no less satisfying Piedmontese dining experience. With the option of two courses (one appetizer and one pasta or main) or three courses (one appetizer, one pasta and one main), lunchtime offerings include Farfalle panna, salmone e piselli (Butterfly pasta, marinated fish roe, peas), Tagliatella Uni-Ca (Tagliatella, fresh Japanese uni, vanilla and white truffle), and Quail Pie di Mia Nonna, a signature recipe from Chef Romeo’s grandmother.

Nestled at the foot of the Italian Alps, Piedmont is also a world-renowned wine-producing region. Its native wine varieties, including in-demand Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera d'Asti and Cortese di Gavi, are grown in the foothills surrounding Turin, with the stunning vineyards classified as UNESCO World Heritage sites. As such, CASTELLANA’s wine cellar comprises Hong Kong’s most extensive collection of Piedmontese wine, featuring over 300 labels and vintages dating back to the 1960s.

The new restaurant, designed by JJ Acuna / Bespoke Studio, boasts a chef-centered “cucina di casa” concept on the lower floor and an expansive dining room on the upper floor. Together, the spaces create an immersive Piedmontese culinary adventure for guests.

CASTELLANA RESTAURANT will open its doors to the public from 20 September 2022.

Da quando abbiamo aperto nel 2015 il nostro obiettivo è rimasto sempre lo stesso, offrire cibo sano per uno stile di vita sano.

Salutare per noi è un concetto che va oltre il conteggio delle calorie ma il sentirsi bene.

Da noi ci sono un sacco di ragioni per sentirsi bene.

Per fare un buon cibo ci vogliono buoni prodotti e noi ci forniamo da produttori locali e artigiani del settore appassionati dei loro prodotti come noi lo siamo delle nostre pizze.

I prodotti ci arrivano freschi tutti i giorni per poi essere processati qui da noi appena prima di aprire le porte.

È così sin dall’inizio qui da Wood e sarà sempre così fino alla fine.

Per amore della pizza.

Accettiamo solo ordini telefonici, potete contattarci a questo numero: 058480316

Il nostro rifugio metropolitano è uno spazio aperto a tutti:

a chi intende vivere la pausa pranzo con modalità diverse rispetto al solito tramezzino,
a chi cerca una alternativa al classico e abusato happy hour,
a chi si vuole concedere uno sfizioso pre o post cena prima o dopo uno spettacolo,
a chi, semplicemente, vuole concedersi la piacevolezza dello stare insieme mangiando bene.

Autentisk italiensk Pasta i Trondheim, Olavshallen

Eccellenze Italiane
Pastalab

It is no secret that you are served delicious food among the food stalls on Olavstorget. What not everyone knows yet is that Pastalab was recently awarded Eccellenze Italiane for its uncompromising Italian cuisine.

To receive such an award first and then a few weeks later to receive the invitation to a State Visit, well, it is incredibly difficult to describe in words. We did not expect all this, we just did our job with the utmost integrity and respect for the traditions that have been handed down to us from grandmothers, mothers and teachers.
Matteo Carniato, Pastalab

Matteo Carniato And Jacopo Carlesi

It is four years since the co-owners of Pastalab, Matteo and Jacopo, moved to Trondheim, and met before for the first time when they both worked for the Fratigruppen at Una Torget. There they quickly discovered that they shared the same idea and passion for real Italian food, and that they both had a desire to start something of their own. Together they began to plan how the dream could materialize into reality.

When the Italian President Sergio Mattarella visited Trondheim with H.K.H. Crown Prince Haakon as host, Matteo and Jacopo were invited to the solemn concert in Nidaros Cathedral, as representatives of parts of the Italian business community in Norway. The following day they received a visit from the Italian vice-consul in Trondheim who presented them with the award Eccellenze Italiane.

Eccellenze Italiane

The award itself is a recognition of the authenticity surrounding the production of Italian dishes, as they are served in Italy according to the classical tradition, respecting the recipes without allowing fusions with local flavors just to increase sales.

You could say that there is a passion for conveying originality and a moral integrity when it comes to the food – no refinements, no use of brand names like “carbonara” without delivering a REAL carbonara.
Matteo Carniato, Pastalab

The remark is not only about food, it is about all art that has a possible connection to Italy under several categories. The office is registered under the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and Economy, and the Office of Registered Patents and Trademarks, with a further upgrade to a European level under the EUIPO.

Real Italian culinary delights in Trondheim

Before Pastalab became a reality, they both worked at well-known and beloved restaurants in Trondheim and Trøndelag. Matteo first started at Strandbaren on Stokkøya before moving on to the Michelin restaurant Credo, while Jacopo has worked for both the Fratigruppen, Olivia and Sellanraa. Now the dream has become a reality, and you will be served award-winning Italian food at Pastalab on Olavstorget in Trondheim.
