• Walk-ins accepted: yes for weekday lunch.
• Booking channel: OpenRice online booking; phone 2801 6881.
• Lead time: weekday lunch is calmer; weekend dinner fills 3–7 days ahead.
• Pet-section hours: same as the restaurant’s general hours.
• The vibe: narrow SoHo dining room with a stone-fired pizza oven; the Neapolitan-pizza destination.

• Price band: OpenRice $101–200 per person (mid-Central).
• Payment methods (OpenRice): cash, FPS, Octopus, major cards typically accepted.

There is no dedicated pet zone — the Shelley Street SoHo dining room is shared with non-pet diners. A small or medium dog on a short lead is the safe configuration. Water bowls are provided.

• Relief area on-site: walk to the Central / SoHo harbour-front promenade (10-min walk) for relief before/after.

• Pet mat / pee pad: not provided.
• Pet treats on the house: not documented.
• Pet menu: none.
• Pet stroller parking: the SoHo dining room is narrow but workable with a small stroller.

The law, per the FEHD scheme baseline (Cap 167D + Dog-Friendly Food Premises Permit conditions):

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable).
• Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law.
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried.

What the field reports:

• SoHo destination restaurants with pet-friendly stance and water bowls typically accommodate small or medium dogs on a short lead, with weekend dinner the most contested period.

1. Book on OpenRice for weekend dinner — the SoHo dinner window fills 3–7 days ahead.
2. Try the Neapolitan pizza — the menu’s signature.
3. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, more room for a small or medium dog.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Don’t bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick a corner seat away from the pizza oven — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Mind the 10% service charge — applied on the bill.
8. Use the Central / SoHo harbour-front promenade for a longer relief walk before/after.

OpenRice 4.3/5 across 161 reviews; reviewers consistently note the Neapolitan pizza and the SoHo location, with mid-Central pricing cited as the price-band reason.
