ANGELINI ITALIAN RESTAURANT AT KOWLOON SHANGRI-LA

There is a milestone of the italian gourmet food in town,. And the name is  Angelini Italian restaurant. Opened September 2005, the restaurant offers a modern, elegant yet comfortable dining experience for guests. 

The menu offers the authentic spirit and taste from Italy. All ingredients are air freighted direct from Italy thrice a week. The emphasis is on healthy, authentic creations from the different regions of Italy with a highlight on the many types of olive oils, sea salts, seafood and herbs that will be used in the cooking.  The essence of the cooking is that the ingredients, which will be simply cooked or grilled, retain their original goodness, freshness and flavours.

Angelini’s Executive Chef, Alessandro Angelini, with  more than 20 years of experience in the culinary industry,  sharing the restaurant name, sees Angelini as his own enterprise and is determined to bring this successful restaurant to the next level. 

Italian native Roberto Amè, Angelini manager and food and beverage (F&B) quality assurance manager, also helps the hotel's executive assistant manager for food and beverage in assuring the quality and standards of food and beverage at all of the hotel's restaurants, bar and lounge. " My goal is working day by day closely with Alessandro Angelini to deliver an authentic Italian cuisine, bring in the best produce and new wines from their home country and please discerning palates with friendly, yet discreet service". 

“I respect the beauty of minimalism and simplicity, so I don’t use too many types of ingredients in one single dish.  I like to take a lighter and healthier approach to Italian food as I appreciate the Mediterranean style of cooking,” said Chef Alessandro.  “Coming from the coastal area of the northern part of Italy, I enjoy using seafood in my dishes.  The techniques I employ must always bring out and enhance the distinctive flavour of each of the fresh ingredients that I use.”

Chef Alessandro creates food that is pleasing to the palate and to the eyes and nose.  Some of his signature dishes include Raw Sicilian Red Prawns, Avocado, Green Apple and Yogurt; Home-Made Black and White Tagliolini with Scallops, King Prawns and Raw Red Shrimps served in a Paper Box; Dover Sole in “Savor” Style (Caramelised Onions, Raisins and Pine Nuts) and Gratinated Asparagus.
