Pirata is located on 30th Floor with an open view. The atmosphere, food, wine selection and service were all excellent. It was a bit noisy being Friday night but apart from that it was excellent.

The experience was fantastic. We had 9 people for a birthday dinner. The restaurant prepared a high table for us. Smart choice. Because we moved around a lot to talk with other people in the group. High table made it easier to stand up and walk around. Food was amazing. Authentic Italian food. The service was outstanding. We had our plates changed frequent enough but not too frequent. The water cup is always full. Nice touch: the restaurant waived the service fee because it was a birthday dinner. They also took a Polaroid picture for us and prepared a birthday card with the picture in it. They also gave the birthday boy a small gift at the end. In short, authentic food, outstanding service and thoughtful arrangement. We had a very good time.

We went for brunch on a Saturday. The food was lovely, the service excellent. Salad buffet then various small dishes served to share at the table then choice of main and sharing desserts (x 2). My companions LOVED the meatballs but it was all delish. The food came out quite quickly and that was good at the start as we had skipped breakfast but there is a lot and we asked them to slow it down later on (which they did).

Because I was by myself, I sat at the counter in front of the prep station. It was difficult to get service from here and, after seeing me struggle, one of the prep chefs flagged down wait staff for me. The anchovy crostini was great, while the tagliatelle as a main was average. I think it would be a lot of fun if dining with a large group.

Good services with nice food. One of the good choices for meeting group friends for drink at the upper floor followed by dinner. Price not cheap but acceptable.

A bit noisy. Food is great...we brought kids with us but they did not have kids plates, forks and knives so my 2 &5 years old kids have to use the big ones. A little bit worry about that...safety reasons...

Overall dining experience lowed due to serving our main dishes while we were still eating one of our starter dishes. All felt very rushed like they wanted us out ASAP. Three of us ordered a different pasta dish for mains but only the Lasagna would be described as a good dish (highly recommend that), the other two pastas were served warm at best and they were very small portions considering the price. All three starter dishes were excellent with the meatballs and Italian sausage the stand out dishes of the night. We were given a free dessert at the end to make up for our displeasure of having mains served so quickly, which rescued a slightly higher overall score.

Great food, excellent service, fantastic location including the roof terrace. Had the beef salad, whole baked fish, octopus salad, anchovy crostini. All cooked and presented perfectly. Great place for groups and couples. Will go again.

It was a nice first experience. However, our table was really not one of the best or even better. But the food was good and the service was excellent, which made up for the table location.

The food was great but we waited 30 minutes for our 9 pm table , They at least tried to compensate by providing a free starter plate while we looked at the menu.

The dining experience was incredible and would be perfect if we were told that we have to sit at the bar table which is quite squeezed with left side having the dishes passing from the kitchen

Service was perfunctory at best. Wine list is dramatically overpriced. The waiter reviewed the menu and highlighted the specials like he was reciting a canned speech. Drinks service was incredibly slow and the waiter was not at all knowledgeable about the spirit menu. The food was mediocre. Everything was quite bland and required a significant amount of salt. The starters were rushed out and we requested some time between the starters and our entrees -- we told the waiter we would advise him when we wanted him to let the kitchen know to fire our main dishes. We did tell him to let the kitchen know we were ready to have our entrees started and then served and our mains appeared within two minutes -- lukewarm. Clearly they had been started before we asked and were being kept under the warming lamp. Again, incredibly bland. The restaurant itself does not provide a pleasant dining experience -- acoustics are dreadful and it is unbearably loud. Overall a very disappointing experience, which I am unlikely to ever repeat.

The prosecco served was very good, crisp and flavourful. The food( especially the meat balls) marvelous! The restuarant was full so it was a little noisy, but it was a fun group, so it was a most enjoyable experience. Definitely coming back

Excellent meal at Pirata. Pirata has probably one of the best Italian menus in Hong Kong but I had stopped bringing business dinners there because of the unbelievable inattentive service. In the past I have sat a table with a client and waited 15 minutes for a drink order to be taken and then waited another 15 before I finally just walked to the bar to get it myself. Dined there last night for the first time in a few months. Excellent food (as always) and very attentive but not intrusive service by the staff. When they are on their game, this is one of the nicest dinning experiences in HK. Will return again soon and hope to have another great experience. Bravo!

The food is great, and waiters are very nice, but it is the third time I go and thay made me wait again... First time I waited more than an hour, second time (I guess because it was early, at 7.15) only 10 minutes, but last time 45 minutes again. We ended up having dinner very late. If they managed timing properly, I would give them 4 to 5 stars.

Food & service was much worse than usual due to Valentine's day. It's understandably busier but if you're charging more due to the holiday, then a drop in quality is not justified.

A great experience overall, just don t like the idea that, we are reminded that we need to return the table in 2 hours. ( though finally they didn't bust us out.. still, it tarnishes the whole experience) We are talking about a dinner for four with a bill more than 2,000 hk$.

Generous portion size, good value with food and wine. But could use real zucchini instead of jade melon in the pasta dish because made me question if the shrimp were really from Sicily.
