This laid-back Italian restaurant’s moniker stems from its two chef-founders: Alessandro Angelini, who most recently led the kitchen at the Kowloon Shangri-La’s Angelini, and Luca De Berardinis of Nicholini’s at Conrad Hong Kong. LucAle is an ingredient-driven spot, focusing on ingredients from Italy’s highest-quality artisanal producers – from top-notch salumi and cheeses to regional organic and biodynamic wines, with the vino in question ranging from under $50 a glass to a whopping $9K for a bottle! The food menu includes a range of salads and small plates, homemade pastas like the vegetarian chitarrino al tartufo nero (spaghettini “chitarra” style with black truffle, pecorino cheese and walnut breadcrumbs), mains of Italian meat and seafood and a mix of modern and classic desserts – the Nutella broken pie with strawberry and lychee (pictured above) sounds particularly tempting.100 Third Street, Sai Ying Pun, 3611 1842

I was cooking since I was 12 years old, alongside my late Father, Mohan Harilela. My family ran restaurants, so I was always sneaking into the kitchens and eating everything I could get my hands on. Since a very young age, I have always had a passion for food, as I was constantly surrounded by it. So I decided to go to Hotel Management School Les Roches in Switzerland for some formal education.
