    A wonderful dining experience. Food was outstanding. Whilst in my opinion there was a lot of truffle, which is not to my taste, the restaurant offered to serve the sauce on the side and had made mash without truffle, so for those that don’t like this you are able to enjoy the whole menu. Perfect for couples as very romantic setting but happily go with a larger group as they can accommodate. Service was divine. A real treat as not cheap but ultimately value for money as every detail was looked at and perfected.

    First visit to any of the The Ivy Asias and already planning to return with daughters. I visited at lunchtime and the room and the atmosphere in the room was perfect, chatty, energetic and the staff were lovely and efficient. The food was delicious. I had the Dragon set lunch menu ( my husband, a la carte) & the tempura prawns were so wonderful I could have just feasted on them and been happy. The salt and pepper beef was delicious but I wasn’t so keen on the panna cotta - presentation and dry ice was great but why was it green and I would not have guessed that it was coconut - on the other hand the birthday treat was sublime and much appreciated. I highly recommend the pineapple and cherry negroni too!

    The food, the wine, the service, the ambience and the attention to details; all is just perfect! Sample the delicious tastes of the mix of the entree, continue with an exquisite pasta and round of with a mouthwatering dessert. The quality of the Bocconcino kitchen is evident throughout! I will be back and I know I will not be disappointed. If you want the best Italian cuisine available don't go to anywhere else, go to this place instead! Be sure to make a reservation though, it is always fully booked!
