Pavia stays under the radar, but discerning diners know it as one of Kowloon City’s best Italian tables. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in soul. The signature: scallop and porcini ravioli in black truffle cream is an indulgent treat. The kitchen strikes the right balance: meats and pasta cooked just right, sauces with depth and portions that lean on the elegant side. The space is cosy, the wine list thoughtful and the vibe just the right side of casual. Pavia proves that good Italian food doesn’t need to shout, it just needs to be done right.
