My friend Elliot took me to Linguini Fini (@Linguini_Fini) last week for lunch. Linguini Fini is a sister restaurant of Posto Pubblico (@PostoPubblico), Hong Kong's first osteria concept that introduced Hong Kong to age-old New York Italian home-cooking using local organic produce and animals sourced from neighbouring farms.

If I was the one ordering, I would not have ordered so much food! But because Elliot is good friends with Chef Vinny (@86Vinny), I was semi-prepared for an extravagant lunch even before walking into the restaurant lol~
White Gold Bars - Herb breaded Pubblico mozzarella, marinara
Caprese - Local romaine, Pubblico mozzarella, basil, 30 year balsamic
8 Hour Tripe - All natural beef & pork, pancetta, tomato
Fried Calamari - Lemon, cherry pepper aioli
Homemade Spicy Pork Sausage - Natural pork, onions & peppers, roasted garlic mostarda
Cured Pork Tenderloin
Chitarra - Pasta with chicken liver, pancetta, sage, and brown butter
Blackforest - Chocolate cherry cake, vanilla panna cotta
Lemon Olive Oil Cake - With poppy seed gelato
Insane, right? All that for lunch! Given, we both totally destroyed everything...such pigs :S The two dishes that stood out the most for me were the 8 Hour Tripe and Chitarra, both of which I found to be extremely unique and tasty (tripe and liver? Yes please!). Thanks Chef Vinny and Linguini Fini for a wonderful lunch!
