The prestigious 8 ½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana in the Galaxy Macau is helmed by chef Riccardo La Perna, a Sicilian native who has been schooled by a host of acclaimed chefs, not Least Umberto Bombana himself. La Perna's Sicilian background will appeal to those yearning for Mediterranean fare, and the quality of the team is further enhanced by general manager and award-winning chief sommelier Marino Braccu, once holder of the title of Best Hong Kong Sommelier. Despite its intimidating reputation, the elegant 66-seat restaurant and bar is designed to create a warm and comfortable environment, accentuated by artworks by Gianluca Miniaci expressing themes of love, life and passion.
