Tang Li 654030846@qq.com FOR 16 years, La Terrazza at Grand Hyatt Shenzhen has been the city’s beloved emblem of Italian culinary artistry, enchanting diners with its unwavering commitment to tradition and warm, convivial ambiance. This spring, the restaurant redefines its legacy with a meticulously crafted new menu, weaving together time-honored recipes and contemporary flair — a tribute to Italy’s sun-drenched coasts, alpine valleys, and bustling piazzas. At the helm of this culinary renaissance is Italian chef Juri Pelusi, whose 28-year journey across six countries has honed his philosophy: “True innovation honors tradition.” The revitalized menu showcases premium ingredients sourced from Italy’s heartland, reimagined through modern techniques. From the citrus-kissed shores of Sicily to the truffle-rich forests of Piedmont, each dish tells a story of heritage and passion. Culinary highlights includes Antipasti with a Twist, which is Sous Vide octopus paired with watermelon, squid ink aioli, and smoked paprika. The dish is a masterclass in texture, balancing tender sous-vide precision with fiery-sweet contrasts. As a signature of the restaurant, the Lobster & Tomato Pizza crowns hand-stretched dough with succulent Boston lobster tails and sun-ripened tomato sauce, kissed by wood-fired smokiness. The Porcini & Black Truffle Pizza dazzles with Alba white truffle oil and earthy wild mushrooms, its crisp Roman-style crust a testament to artisanal craft. Other highlights include the showstopping 1.2-kg M3 Tomahawk Steak, seared over fruitwood charcoal. The Salt-Crusted Mediterranean Seabass, inspired by Venetian traditions, cracks open to reveal saffron-infused flesh steeped in white wine aromas. For a sweet finale, the Hazelnut Chocolate Panna Cotta revives a century-old Turin recipe, layering 70% Ecuadorian chocolate with Piedmont hazelnut praline. The Deconstructed Tiramisu surprises with coffee-laced savoiardi crumbs nestled under clouds of mascarpone — a playful nod to Venetian decadence.
