I had one Italian meal in Hong Kong (again inside Harbour City). This is a lunch at Cova, an Italian restaurant and bakery.

carpaccio

fried calamari and zucchini

scampi with capelinni

tiramisu

mango mousse cake

My dad had tried stuff from the bakery before so we decided to try the restaurant for lunch. Carpaccio was pretty standard (hard to find an exciting carpaccio after eating at Harry's Bar). Calamari was good - I liked the zucchini. I've had them together once or twice before and I think it's a good combination. The scampi was described on the menu as a tagliarini, so I was pretty dissappointed to discover it was the much thinner capellini... I dislike capellini and angel hair a lot. They don't seem able to absorb any flavor from whatever they are cooked with. The desserts were good. Tiramisu was pretty average, but the mango mousse cake was delicious. Light, fluffy, and not too sweet. Good meal overall, but I wish my pasta was actually tagliarini...
