This popular modern Italian trattoria, celebrated for its relaxed atmosphere and approachable dishes, has launched a new à la carte menu featuring exciting new creations alongside cherished signature favourites. Additionally, the restaurant has introduced a “mix-and-match” set dinner value meal, designed to be both budget-friendly and satisfying, making post-work dining enjoyable and effortless.

The restaurant offers family-style Italian cuisine, known for its fresh and comforting flavours. Ask for Alonzo creates a warm, welcoming ambience that echoes the cosiness of Alonzo's family kitchen while ensuring prices remain affordable for the community—embodying the heart of Italian cuisine: accessible, affordable, and comforting.

Guests can indulge in honest, authentic cuisine, served in a setting that seamlessly blends indoor warmth with a tranquil outdoor experience. With multiple locations across Hong Kong, including Happy Valley, Quarry Bay, and Tai Hang, Ask for Alonzo has rapidly become a favourite destination for both locals and visitors seeking a taste of Italy in a welcoming environment.

The new menu promises to delight Hong Kong diners with classic, authentic Italian home recipes, highlighting light, fresh, and zesty flavours that resonate with the discerning local palate. Guests can look forward to dishes that exude warmth, authenticity, and a sense of home, with vibrant new à la carte additions available now at all five locations, as well as the brand-new outlet in Warsaw.

The new dishes on the new à la carte menu include:

Seared Tuna with Lemon Dressing (HK$128) – An appetiser inspired by the love of tuna among Hong Kongers, the fresh tuna is seared to retain its tender texture while developing a beautifully charred exterior and remaining tender on the inside; accompanied by a zesty lemon dressing, while capers add a delightful brininess.

Ricotta Bruschetta with Anchovy (HK$98) – The crusty toasted sourdough is generously layered with whipped ricotta that melts in your mouth. The fresh basil and lively salsa verde bring a tangy, aromatic boost, topped off with a brined anchovy. Its salty richness pairs perfectly with the creamy ricotta and crunchy bread, delivering a decadent bite.

Beef Carpaccio with Truffle Oil (HK$158) - A popular Italian starter, this lean, tenderloin meat is full of flavour, topped with rocket leaves and shaved aged Parmesan for nuttiness. Drizzled with truffle oil, it has an earthy aroma that balances these flavours.

Ravioli Fiorentina (HK$158) - Made from scratch on the premises, these ricotta and spinach-filled raviolis are served in a bowl of vibrant tomato and basil sauce, a clean and fresh option that is perfect for any time dining.

Crab Meat Linguine (HK$178) – A Sicilian coastal delight, featuring tender crab meat with natural briny and sweet flavours, complemented by a lively chilli kick. It is paired with juicy cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of basil, all embraced by al dente linguine.

Fusilli Sausage with Sage (HK$168) - The spiralled pasta showcases the rich flavours of sautéed sausage, balanced by the earthy aroma of sage leaves and the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes, while grated Parmesan on top offers a savoury finish.

Parma Ham Tortellini (HK$158) – The hand-formed tortellini are lovingly filled with Parma ham, providing a perfect balance of savoury and subtly sweet on the palate. Diners can choose between a sumptuous Bolognese sauce, where the slow-cooked meat sauce melds beautifully with the pasta, creating a hearty, comforting embrace reminiscent of rustic family kitchens, or a luxurious, creamy truffle sauce that drapes the tortellini in an earthy aroma.

Pan-roasted Primavera Salad (HK$148) – A vibrant homage to the bountiful flavours of Italian vegetables like green beans, asparagus, bell peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes, roasted and tossed with toasted pine nuts for crunch. Dressed in a lemon herb vinaigrette, it’s a refreshing, flavourful main that embodies Italian home cooking.

Broiled Sea Bream with Roast Potatoes, Sicilian Tomato Sauce (HK$198). Fresh sea bream fillet is broiled to achieve a crispy skin and golden exterior, uncovering tender, flaky flesh with a gentle brininess. It is served atop a bed of Sicilian tomato sauce, which offers an ideal balance of acidity and sweetness, accompanied by pan-roasted potatoes.

About Deadly Rabbits Concepts

Founded in 2019, Deadly Rabbits Concepts is an innovative dining group renowned for its creativity in the Hong Kong dining scene, offering top-notch yet wallet-friendly modern European cuisine.

The group's name draws its inspiration from the whimsical world of Monty Python, paired with the delightfully absurd sense of humour that permeates Poland, the homeland of Bart, founder of Deadly Rabbits Concepts, who believed that the F&B industry should embody fun and light-heartedness. This belief was creatively expressed through the group’s playful logo and unique name, signalling that they are always passionate about what they do.

This creative group is also the driving force behind several of the city’s beloved neighbourhood dining spots. Among their successful establishments is the modern Italian restaurant Ask for Alonzo, which is located at five bustling locations: Wan Chai, Quarry Bay, Tai Hang, Happy Valley, and Soho. Adding to its impressive portfolio, Deadly Rabbits Concepts is excitedly preparing to introduce two new culinary concepts in 2024: À Poêle French Bistro in Quarry Bay and Qué Pasa Spanish Tapas Y Vino, a vibrant spot that promises to bring the lively flavours of Spanish tapas and wine to Tai Hang. In September 2025, the group achieved international growth by opening its first Ask for Alonzo’s overseas branch in Poland, located in the renowned Varso Tower, the tallest building in both Poland and the EU.
