A fairly simple menu - we went for the HK$120 set lunch of any appetizer + a slice of pizza/ sandwich / pasta. Go to http://www.postopubblico.com/menu-lunch.html to see the menu. One point though - to understand the menu you may have to speak Italian or be well-versed in your Italian cuisine lingo. The names of all the dishes were in Italian, and we had to ask the waiter to decode the menu.
Ambiance in the restaurant was nice - the high ceiling really helped the give the restaurant spaciousness, and there were a few U-shaped booths.
Our appetizers - mushroom trifolata, rosemary roasted potatoes, roasted pumpkin. Yum!
The pastas - oreccheitte with rapini and sausage, linguine vongole, and the bombardoni (veal, pork, beef)
I liked the bombardoni the best! The ragu was rich and dense, and the tomatoes and herbs melded beautifully. I did have a slight problem with the vongole though; there were large shards of broken clam shell in the pasta.
Posto Pubblico is a nice place for simple Italian fare - I read in a separate article somewhere that the owners of Posto Pubblico actually started their own organic farm in order to keep a continuous supply of organic food to the restaurant. Good to know that you're eating at a restaurant that doesn't have a large carbon footprint.
Pros: Not packed during weekday lunch, simple Italian fare, decently priced lunch sets, organic
Cons: May need an Italian food glossary to decipher the menu, bland linguine vongole with shell shards
