IL PRESIDENTE brings Italian sprezzatura to Hong Kong’s Central district, inviting guests into a world where glamour and good times are non‑negotiable. Opening on Duddell Street, it offers a portal into the golden era of Italian hospitality, celebrating the classics done right and with attitude.  

From the founders of Wan Chai’s runaway success Trattoria Felino comes an atmospheric throwback to Italy’s VHS glamour era, where power brokers and fur‑draped socialites once lingered over long dinners and serious drinks. IL PRESIDENTE unites vaunted gastronomic and liquid traditions under one roof, with a full restaurant and cocktail bar programme designed for guests who like to stay just a little too long.  

Guests ascend the historic Duddell Street granite steps and enter through a sunset‑orange façade into a richly textured, 70‑seat room of rosewood, leather and warm orange tones. Rich velvet, soft light and deep carpets set the scene for long lunches, late nights and a bar that turns aperitivo hour into something out of an Italian cult film.
