8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA Macau

Michelin One-Star Award Winner for 10 Consecutive Years⭐️ Helmed by Executive Chef Marino D’Antonio, the Macau team adhere to Umberto’s philosophy of providing the most authentic Italian cuisine, presenting vibrant culinary cultures of Italy. It is an elevated dining experience with newly renovated interior design, over 1,600 labels of wine collection and theatrical table side service. P.S, Loving the new pasta “Chitarrina Teramana” (Homemade Chitarra, Iberico Shoulder & Veal Fassone, Tomato Sauce)🍝💯

Delicious and well prepared dishes. Veal Tenderloin from N Italy, authentic Sicilian Red Prawn and affogato with Tiramisu are not to be missed. Even more impressive is their services , very professional while friendly. Excellent sommelier services. All these made our lunch very excellent value. Definitely will go back.

We recently returned to Otto Mezzo in Macau, eager to relive the unforgettable dining experience we had two years ago. Celebrating our anniversary, we were excited to share this occasion with our invited guest. Given our previous visit, we had high expectations, especially since we informed the restaurant in advance that two of us follow a vegetarian diet. We were hoping Chef Ricardo would create a magical vegetarian menu for us, just as he did before. Unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. This time, we were offered only a basic tomato salad and a pasta dish served with an excessive amount of black truffles. The menu appeared to heavily favor red meat dishes, which was disappointing for our guest, who does not eat beef. We ordered a couple of bottles of wine, each costing over $2,000, but no one offered to decant them. The restaurant was relatively slow that evening, and we felt we deserved better attention and care from a renowned Michelin-star establishment. Regrettably, the wonderful service team we had encountered during our last visit was no longer present, including Chef Ricardo. This change seemed to reflect in the quality of the food. The two pasta dishes we were served were bland and lacked flavor, overwhelmed by the truffles rather than enhanced by them. Our guest tried a non-red meat dish, the kinki fish, and found the sauce excessively salty. Overall, this experience did not meet our hopes for an amazing dining occasion, and we felt disappointed for our guest, especially since we had previously praised Otto Mezzo as a vegetarian-friendly Michelin-star restaurant. Given this experience, we are unlikely to return and will reconsider our recommendations to others. Otto Mezzo used to be our favorite vegetarian-friendly Michelin-star restaurant in the world, but it seems that has changed. July 2025 ------------------------------- 2 years ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review 👇👇👇 We need 2 to 4 weeks booking in advance if we wish to dine at 8 1/2 Otto Mezzo Bombana in Hong Kong, but not in Macau (by luck) during this Easter holiday. Chef Riccardo specially made a 5 courses vegetarian menu for us which was amazingly delicious! From the gorgeous presentation of each dish to gustatory delights! The garden salad seems like a simple plate of appetiser yet by using fresh ingredients and adding salt, lemon and olive oil, we could taste "Spring" on each bite, simply mesmerising. This is most probably the best tomato salad we've ever tasted so far. Chef also brilliantly turned a morel mushroom dish into a savory meaty work of art. Thank you Chef Ricardo for taking our taste buds on a wonderful journey! And thank you to excellent customer service team! 👏👏👏Marino the GM who welcome each guest like his own house guest, Nancy Wang the restaurant manager who has so much energy! She seems to really love her profession and Gérard our man of the evening, he's very knowledgeable in guiding us through the journey though our foods were not on the menu. We hope we could come back again soon!

What an amazing experience!! It deserves at least 2* michelin... Highly recommended. Hope to be back soon. Thanks to the entire team for the amazing experience

Food and service both excellent, if you want a special dining experience, this is the place

2nd time I came with a group of friends. Service, food and wine pairing are amazing ! I wasn’t impressed with the lunch set in HK restaurant but dinner in Macau is great. Chef is working with seasonal products, from all Italian regions. Special mention to Giorgio the sommelier 👍

All the staff really made our dinner special, coming with the perfect wine pairing for each dish we selected and being very attentive and fun throughout the night. We ended up spending 3 hours dining and drinking and laughing. The Amalfi gelato at the end of the course was cherry on top! Apparently the chef changes the menu all the time so I’m looking forward to coming back next time to try more magical creations :)

Tried the regular and truffle menu, a bit disappointing, definitely over rated, service was excellent though. The dishes are generally good but it was not like wow, one fish dish was fishy...the chef came out to try and told me it was not, I might not be a professional chef but have been cooking more than a decade, I can tell what is a fishy taste...the dish I like most was the lobster dish, truffle was not my liking, tasted a bit like gas 🤔 next time I would try something else for the price.
