Buon Appetito: Macau’s Best Italian Restaurants

Macau Italian Restaurant Otto Mezza Bombana oyster dish

If variety is the spice of life, then Macau is where it’s at when it comes to culinary choice. You’ll always find glorious food everywhere in this city but there’s one outstanding cuisine that always gets us going no matter what, and that’s Italian cuisine. Thankfully, our city has some great Italian offerings, so read on to find the best tastes of Italy at what we think are Macau’s best Italian restaurants.

8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana

(See featured image above)

8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana at Galaxy Macau is a one-star Michelin restaurant that attracts real gourmands who flock to this dining hot spot for exquisite Italian cuisine and attentive service. Not only is it an elegant dining space, the super-rich flavors of its offerings ensure that guests are captivated with all their senses.

Seduce your taste buds with homemade tagliolini with butter, parmesan, and Alba white truffle or the scampi carpaccio and Hokkaido king crab with fennel emulsion, Amalfi lemon, and river Beluga caviar. Fill your belly up with the Mayura M9 sirloin and short ribs with charred artichokes, red wine, and plum sauce or the Aveyron lamb with eggplant roll, bell pepper, and natural jus. There’s so much to choose from but not overbearingly so, which ensures that each dish is crafted to perfection.

We would suggest you arrive a little bit before dinner to enjoy an aperitif at the gorgeous central bar.

Rossi Trattoria_Pizza Margherita

Rossi Trattoria 

Rossi Trattoria is an authentic country-style Italian trattoria located at Studio City Macau, serving comforting rustic-style Italian staples. Sporting a cozy, elegant yet laid-back vibe, this trattoria is the ideal place to share authentic Italian food with family and friends.

Helmed by young and passionate Italian Chef Rodolfo Serritelli, Rossi Trattoria presents guests with delectable traditional dishes prepared with the freshest traditional Italian ingredients. Chef Serritelli’s signature dishes are the epitome of rustic Italian food. We especially love the semolina bread bruschetta with tomato, buffalo mozzarella cream, and basil, the hand-rolled spiral pasta with lobster in a spicy tomato sauce and the classic Italian tiramisu. All pasta are made from scratch at this Italian eatery.

The pizzas at Rossi Trattoria are also to die for, with its dough made out of a combination of five flours made entirely from Italian grains, water, olive oil, and salt and using a slow-fermentation method, which definitely makes a difference flavor-wise. The pizza’s consistency is perfectly balanced, simultaneously light and crispy.
