iMix Restaurant & Bar
In Shanghai, there are establishments
serving successful interpretations of
world cuisine, and others that are well-
meaning attempts. This is one of them.
Nestled in a quaint garden home on
quiet Julu Lu, iMix serves a streamlined
selection of Italian favorites. A simple
caprese (¥38) was a fresh start to
our summer morning visit, with pesto
sauce enlivening the minimalist dish of
tomatoes and mozzarella. The earthier
osso buco (¥78) was competent, albeit
lacking a certain complexity in taste.
A tiny pizza (¥58) of salami, tomato,
artichokes, olives, anchovies and
oregano left us "underwhelmed" as well
as slightly thirsty from the saltiness.
Service was attentive but as the wait
staff thanked us from dropping by, we
couldn't help but be unconvinced. iMix
falls short of truly satisfying.
