The AMA Ristorante is the brainchild of Chef Paolo Monti or ‘The Amatricianist’ to provide a uniquely authentic Italian dining experience in Hong Kong.

Drawing on a lifetime career of cooking Italian food for over 35 years and a native of Rome, Paolo grew up in a family where food was an essential part of daily living. His grandmother’s side grew vegetables in the countryside, and made cheeses and breads while his grandfather’s side cultivated grapes for his family’s consumption.

Gaining an all-around experience in the kitchen, Paolo’s menus focus on Italy’s seasonal ingredients. He delivers his passion through creating light and delicious hand-made pastas, and the finest fish and meat dishes.
