Review

House of Tango, named after a local leather company and accessory brand, offers a charming vintage atmosphere reminiscent of a historic castle with modern touches. The menu is authentic, home-comfort Italian cuisine crafted with high-quality ingredients. Begin with burrata salad surrounded by crisp tangy rocket, delicate prosciutto di Parma, and plump sweet tomatoes. Or choose Caesar, sprinkled with bacon bits, and topped with aged Parmigiano. Follow with a rich and earthy porcini mushroom soup topped with fragrant slices of black truffle. Next, deep-fried calamari with shrimp and a homemade tartare sauce. Pasta dishes include blue crab angel hair, fragile strands of pasta wrapped around chunks of fresh crab meat, enveloped in rich layers of roasted tomato sauce, crispy garlic, and lemon. Alternatively, tagliatelle wagyu oxtail ragu, the ideal marriage of tender flavourful beef with red wine and satisfying strips of pasta, offering a welcome textural bite. There are multiple main options: pastry-crusted Australian grass-fed beef tenderloin Wellington for sharing, a stunning côte de boeuf accompanied by foie gras and confit potatoes, and organic free-range roasted baby chicken in the restaurant’s secret marinade. For dessert, Chalong Bay cherry jubilee, featuring flambéed cherries over vanilla gelato, offers the harmony of tart and sweet in a heavenly match. House of Tango boasts a varied beverage menu to complement the meal.
