Umberto Bombana is founder and owner of 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana in Hong Kong, the only Italian restaurant outside of Italy to have received three stars from the Michelin Guide.

Umberto had first arrived in Hong Kong in 1993, when he worked at Toscana at the Ritz-Carlton, and became a prime mover in introducing the white truffle to Hong Kong’s restaurant scene, eventually leading to him being named as a White Ruffle Ambassador.

He opened 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana in Hong Kong in 2010, and the success of the restaurant led to him opening another in Shanghai in 2012 and 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana in Macau in 2014.

The restaurant name is a tribute to Umberto’s favourite Italian film director Federico Fellini’s movie, 8½.
