Spiga design influenced by 1950s Italian splendour

A new restaurant Spiga – in Central – has been designed to recreate the cinematic splendour of 1950s Italy.
“It’s a love affair with Italy, past and present,” says Michelin star chef Enrico Bartolini.
“Spiga is a representation of today’s Italy. I am passionate about the contemporary tastes, style and presentation of Italian dining, in its most authentic form, and that is what we are serving our guests at Spiga. We want to share with Hong Kong a taste of what Italians are eating today in Italy,” says Bartolini.

Diners step into the cinematic splendour of 1950s Italy with Joyce Wang Studio’s inspired interior design. Full of Italian charm, the space is creatively sectioned into distinct settings, giving a feel of intimacy and exclusivity, further enhanced by dramatic lighting fixtures and hand selected antique collectables. It’s a destination for drinks at the bar/lounge or lavish meals in the restaurant and private rooms. Or to kick back in style on the outdoor terrace, Portico.

With three restaurants in Italy and four Michelin stars to his name, this is Bartolini’s first restaurant outside of his homeland. Born in Tuscany but heavily influenced by the North East, Bartolini merges the cooking styles found around Italy to create top-notch contemporary classic cuisine.
