Hyperlocal Tokyo

I called around 11:30 AM on Sunday to make a reservation and was told it was fully booked except for the last seat. The atmosphere, both inside and outside, is full of meticulous attention to detail, and the piano music in the background adds to the sense of refinement. ☺️ The restaurant is run by two people, so you need to order everything at once. Since I had a late breakfast, I went for a light meal of salad, bread, and pasta, which came to about ¥3,500 per person plus drinks. The lunch course was around ¥6,000 per person. Drinks start at ¥1,100 each, so it can get quite pricey if you're drinking. 🤔 However, every dish was delicious and it was the perfect place for a lovely day off. ✌️♥️ The tomatoes were incredibly sweet, I could have eaten a whole bunch of them! 🍅

I arrived around 11:40 am on Sunday and there were already two groups of people inside. Since there were two of us, we sat at the counter. There were also people with reservations, so by around noon, the place was almost full. We had a salad appetizer, pasta with bottarga and anchovies, gorgonzola gnocchi, and grilled amberjack with crispy skin for our main course. Every dish was made with high-quality ingredients and the flavors were exquisite. It was one of the best Italian meals I've had recently. The restaurant isn't very big, but it was amazing to see just two people handling both the cooking and the service. I definitely want to go back!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary here. We were a party of two, arriving without a reservation on a Saturday right after opening, and were seated promptly. When visiting a new restaurant, it can be daunting to decide what to order and how much food to expect. This restaurant's staff anticipated our concerns and explained the portion sizes of the dishes. The food was excellent. The spinach risotto, in particular, was a standout. The vibrant green color against the white plate was striking and truly impressive. Every dish was exceptional, and we enjoyed our meal from start to finish, filled with a sense of wonder. We will definitely be back.

We had a private room for a 60th birthday celebration and enjoyed a special menu. The dishes were all made with carefully selected ingredients. 😍 Highly recommended for anniversaries! 😀

We were looking for a place to have lunch after visiting the museum, and this restaurant was the closest option out of a few we were considering. It turned out to be a great choice, as everything we ordered was delicious. The restaurant's style seems to be sharing appetizers, side dishes, and main courses, rather than ordering one dish per person. There's a one-drink minimum or a seating charge. My companion's carbonara was particularly delicious, rich, and truly impressive. I'd go back just for that dish. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation, but the restaurant was quite busy, so it's probably best to book ahead. The tables are also quite close together, so it might be a bit cramped if you have a lot of luggage. Despite that, it was a truly delicious meal that I'll remember fondly, and I definitely plan to visit again.
