All very good and we thank Mr. Alex for serving us well

The restaurant has kept its original name from 1929, where the offer was mainly linked to the Venetian tradition. Since 1969 it has been managed by the current family who has given it an Asian touch. The manager, very courteous, considerate and helpful, explained to us that, being originally from Hong Kong (he was born in Fatebenefratelli in Milan!!), they wanted to maintain the peculiarity of that city, i.e. a crossroads of Asian flavors and dishes . I opted for these, although you could choose Chinese or Japanese dishes. The service deserves a 10 when personified by the manager, but I noticed some flaw in the gratification of the orders: I had my 3 starters, while my 3 companions waited a good 10 minutes for theirs. Let's get to the dishes. I ordered a really excellent Vietnamese roll: crunchy and light with a filling of soy noodles. The idea of ​​combining it with mint leaves is excellent. I then had an excellent lobster ravioli and a decent scallop ravioli. I then concluded the ravioli "vertical" with 2 good beef ravioli with truffle oil. I also tried a ravioli in Malaysian sauce (slightly spicy peanut base) with a prawn inside. Finally I concluded with a plate of udon saghetti with bottarga, I would say discreet. The flaked bottarga was smoked and the very thin slices melted on the hot udon. Personally I prefer traditional bottarga, but perhaps, since it's not the period, the offer went for the smoked one. However the dish was well done.
