Italy is best known for its passion for food, frequently served at home gatherings to a boisterous table of extended family members.

With its casual small-plates concept, Papi brings the tradition to Hong Kong, offering hearty homemade dishes for diners to share among friends and family.

From finger foods to desserts, all dishes are prepared freshly in Papi’s own open kitchen, using high-quality seasonal ingredients to create traditional dishes that are simple and delicious.

Using the finest 00 Italian flour, Papi’s kitchen churns out fresh pastas daily, pressing different shapes to match perfectly with its various sauces and  ingredients.

Signature pasta dishes include Papi’s pici (HK$108) – a thick hand-rolled pasta cooked with spicy tomato sauce and garlic chips, Ravioli di
Ricotta e Spinaci (HK$158) – handmade ricotta cheese and spinach ravioli with cherry tomato and rucola, and Tagliarini alle aragosta (HK$248) –
