New Openings: Fratelli Fresh

Shuangjing keeps getting swankier. The latest proof is the opening of this Italian fine dining establishment that serves five-star dishes at three-star prices.

Appetizers range from RMB 28-38 and include a delightful vitello tonnato (sliced veal with smooth tuna sauce and rucola). Highlights among the entrees are the char-grilled polenta with asparagus and goat cheese (RMB 68), featuring expertly balanced flavors and textures, and the homemade papardelle with wild boar, tomatoes, mushrooms and roast garlic with red wine and basil (RMB 48). And the wood-fired pizzas (RMB 48) are can’t-miss deals. The waitstaff could use polishing and the spotless open kitchen needs to improve its timing, but on-site expatriate managers and the intimate size of the modern dining room means personal service is always steps away.

Fratelli Fresh Daily 10.30am-2.30pm, 5-10.30pm. 1/F, Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel, 61 Dongsanhuan Zhonglu, Chaoyang District (5863 8203)
