Hong Kong diners can once again savor Pici’s seasonal black truffle creations from October 1 to October 31, 2026. The Italian restaurant chain is reviving its popular truffle-themed menu across all ten local branches, featuring the much-anticipated return of the signature Truffle & Parma Ham pasta alongside select new dishes that highlight the earthy depth of autumn’s most celebrated fungus.
A Seasonal Celebration of Truffles
With black truffle season reaching its peak, Pici is dedicating an entire month to this prized ingredient. The star attraction is unquestionably the “Pici Truffle & Parma Ham” (HK$180), a handmade pasta that incorporates black truffle directly into the dough. The dish is finished with a silky truffle cream sauce, draped with premium Parma ham slices, and crowned with freshly shaved black truffle for an intense, lingering aroma. This dish alone draws loyal patrons back year after year, and its return is a highlight of the autumn dining calendar.
Elevated Classics and New Offerings
Pici has also refreshed its appetizer lineup with the “Vitello Tonnato Truffle” (HK$130). Thinly sliced veal is paired with a creamy tuna mayonnaise and elevated with a rich truffle-infused beef jus, creating a layered interplay of savory and tangy flavors that work as a light yet indulgent starter.
For those seeking comfort, the “Tagliolini Truffle and Short Ribs” (HK$190) delivers a hearty experience. Beef short ribs are slow-braised in red wine for six hours until the sauce turns glossy and concentrated. This is then combined with delicate tagliolini pasta and finished with fresh black truffle, making every forkful deeply satisfying.
To conclude the meal, the “Panna Cotta Caramel and Apple” (HK$65) provides a refreshing counterpoint. Milk cream panna cotta is topped with tangy apple compote and rich caramel, balancing the savory richness of the earlier courses with a clean, sweet finish.
