Authentic Italian Restaurant in Hong Kong

Cantina means “canteen” in Italian and was inspired by the history of Tai Kwun. The first floor of the Old Police Headquarters was once used as the police officers’ mess – a place for casual lunches and rowdy merrymaking.

Today, Cantina keeps this tradition alive with comforting Italian favourites served alongside southern European interiors and fragrant lemon trees.
