I’ve honestly become quite spoiled by the amount of fantastic Italian food that exists in Hong Kong. Another new one that opened during the pandemic (in 2022) is Testina Hong Kong. Testina was created from a collaboration between a restaurant in Milan called Italy Tripe Milan and ZS Hospitality in Hong Kong (Feuille, Hansik Goo, Whey).
Testina’s uniqueness is its genuine focus on nose-to-tail dining, offering dishes prepared with calf tongue, beef tripe, chicken liver, chicken offal, bone marrow and pig’s head. Recommended in the Michelin Guide, the quality of the food is excellent, and it was certainly difficult to book when it first opened.
First Thoughts – Testina
Testina Hong Kong keeps prices reasonable while offering excellent quality Italian food. Our first visit was very nice and I would definitely come back again. Testina definitely has a warm and cozy atmosphere and the dishes are “homely” and creative at the same time. Offal is the star and is used prominently on the menu. However, if you don’t like offal, there are still plenty of options.
