Enter white truffle season at 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOM Enter white truffle season at 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA Shanghai.

Last October, I had the rare opportunity to experience a very special menu at the Michelin two-star restaurant, where all three chefs were present: the legendary founder Umberto Bombana @umbertobombana (Hong Kong 3 ⭐️) and his protégés Nicolò Rotella @nick_rotella (Shanghai 2 ⭐️) & Marino D’Antonio @marinodantonio (Macau 1 ⭐️). 

So. Much. White. Truffle!

White truffle season runs until late December / early January — now serving, along with other equally excellent non-truffle seasonal dishes.
