PASTEAKO
PASTEAKO is an Italian-American pasta-and-steak house on the ground floor of PMQ Hollywood in Central, named for the two things it puts on one plate. The room is retro trattoria — red-and-white checkerboard floors, leather banquettes, black-and-white photos — and the ritual starts at the door: pick one of eight steak knives from the glass cabinet. Dinner sets from about HK$388 include a starter, handmade pasta with your choice of shape and sauce, a charcoal-grilled 21-day dry-aged USDA steak (striploin or ribeye, with T-bone and M5 Wagyu upgrades), and homemade tiramisu. Lunch starts around HK$188. Every 20–30 minutes the kitchen rings a bell for Pasta Time and sends rotating free-flow pasta around the room. Certified Halal. Open daily from noon; Friday and Saturday until 11:30 PM, other days until 11:00 PM. About a 9-minute walk from Sheung Wan MTR Exit A2.
