Bar Leone team opens Bar Camillo at Rosewood Hong Kong

Rosewood Hong Kong is teaming up with Lorenzo Antinori and Justin Shun Wah, the pair behind Bar Leone, on Bar Camillo. It is a hotel bar modelled on the Italian salotto, the living room where friends gather at home. Antinori wants the energy of a standalone bar and a "cool house party" feel. The idea is fronted by Camillo, a slightly clumsy bartender mascot who stands in for the Italian notion of the welcoming host.

The room is mid-century in spirit, with glossy wood veneers, polished metal and mirrored walls in gold, alpine green and cream. A long banquette draws people to the bar, while lower seats and enclosed corners suit quieter conversations. There is a terrace outside, too.

The menu comes in three parts: dry, refreshing welcome aperitivi, seasonal takes on classic cocktails, and a lighter set of party touches. It changes every quarter. Each edition is themed to a particular season and year, with pop-culture nods, Italian pop music and rotating art on the walls. The detail to look out for is the Negroni Trolley. You choose a base spirit, a garnish and a floral, savoury or rich profile, and the drink is stirred at your table.

The announcement gives no opening date, so check before planning a night around it. Bar Leone regulars will want to keep an eye out.
