Parma Pizza at GCX

Wong Chuk Hang is changing, with design offices and art galleries moving into former industrial buildings, and hotels springing up in between them. There’s also an interesting crop of new restaurants being part of this transformation.

Shop G09, G/F, One Island South, 2 Heung Yip Road, Wong Chuk Hang, Aberdeen, tel: 2528 0772

In a commercial building right next to the new MTR line, the Grappa’s group has brought its Italian offerings to Aberdeen with GCX. The tiled entrance functions as a deli and wine shop, and behind this you’ll find the cosy dining area. Each table has a view of the flaming pizza oven, and this arrangement successfully creates a warm, welcoming ambience. You’ll find all the usual pastas, paninis and thin-crust pizzas here - though the garlic-infused linguine al pesto comes with a warning that post-prandial romance may be off the menu - and on weekends they offer brunch options with an Italian take on the full English breakfast.
