TUBER Umberto Bombana (K11 MUSEA)

They have 6 tables in total, on a friday night, there was just us and another table. There was only 1 menu at $1,880 + 10% per person. We did not go for wine pairing, and I can’t remember how much it was. My appertiser was the king crab topped with urchin, so heavenly. My second course was the abolone, which tasted very much like a Chinese dish, wasn’t expecting that. The flavours were ok actually, I just personally don’t like to have a Chinese dish in an Italian restaurant. My pasta dish was the star of the night. The linguine with prawn was their signature dish, and surely deserves its place. Bombana does prawn pasta like no other, and it is out of this world. My main was the deer, which was good. The unexpected thing was the pot of truffle rice, again, so good. I was so full at this point that it was really difficult to impress with an above average dessert, which wqs good, but by no means spectacular. It was certainly not cheap, but I would not say it was over priced. The value was there. For a cheaper option, we would definitely visit its sister restaurant right next to it next time.

Otto Mezzo by Umberto Bombana is one of our all time favourite restaurants in Hong Kong!…so we wanted to try his „new“ place (opened for a year plus) in K11-TST, the Tuber. The food was great, maybe a slight behind what we are used to at Otto Mezzo, but still super yummy, well presented and commendable. We went for the 5 course degustation menu and had plenty of delicious truffle shavings :p The service was ok, but not impressive, nothing wow, i have to give it an average score. But what let the Tuber down for us, was the whole setting and atmosphere. The decoration / setting feels really odd and strange, like a mix between an underground train station restaurant and sitting in a corridor between 2 shopping malls. The walls, floor, ceiling and lighting (the table offered to us first was almost completely in the dark) and the entrance (from the hotel driveway side) with passage through the middle, somehow splitting the small place to reach the more casual restaurant upstairs, all kind of odd and definitely not working for us. Maybe not that important but we also didn’t like the balloon shaped wine glasses with kind of small openings used for their wine servings. While the food was really yummy the strange ambiente in this place affected our whole dining experience not in a good way. We went on a Saturday night and besides us only one other table was booked….

Came here for dinner in May and had a very good experience. Excellent food and not too exorbitant, lovely atmosphere - a great bomb ana restaurant. For a five course dinner, the restaurant gave us a substantial amuse-bouche (so large I thought it was our appetizer) and a lovely ricotta ice cream pre-dessert. For pasta I ordered the signature red prawn linguine and it did not disappoint!

top ingredients with flawless execution. spanish red prawn with italian pasta is a must have. white truffle on french lamb equally exquisite. service is great. decor is cozy and comfy. will return for sure.

If you love truffles — this place has a lot to offer. Fine dining, soon to be with a star, but be prepared — it’s far from cheap :)

We had a wonderful dinner at Tuber. Great food, great service! Thanks Chef Keith and the team for their hospitality.

The food is very good, amazing staff and service!
