Restaurant Name: Lombardi Fine Pizza & Grill
Yes, it just has to be Italian with a curious name like that! Rarely have I seen the words "fine" and "pizza" in such close proximity, but there you have it.
This quaint, tiny restaurant is on the 3rd floor of the Intercontinental Hotel, and has a good reputation with locals and expatriates alike.
It is very dark, lit by candles and the enthusiasm of the waiting staff; the cosiness of the place is as rare in China as the name.
The meal was very expensive, with a two course meal with drinks coming to over 200 kuai - a first for me outside Beijing or Shanghai!
Favorite Dish: Good, slightly rustic Italian fare, and plenty to choose from other than pizzas, thank goodness!
The wine list contains some very mediocre French wines at very high prices, as is common throughout China where there are sufficient clueless snobs who have no idea about wine, to keep shifting poor quality wine from Europe here.
