Hyperlocal Tokyo

A stroll through Kiyosumi Shirakawa led me to this charming restaurant. The ambiance and the aroma of the food were irresistible. With the day still bathed in a soft light, I enjoyed a chilled sparkling white wine alongside a three-meat platter and a silken tofu caprese. The portions were perfect for someone like me who prefers to savor small bites. The silken tofu was incredibly smooth and bouncy, almost like cheese. After each bite, I took a sip of the chilled white wine, creating a moment of pure bliss. While I craved a hearty meat dish, I decided to save that for my next visit. I managed to snag a table, but I highly recommend making a reservation. I saw someone else arrive without a reservation and they were turned away.

This restaurant has been on my radar for a while ✨. This time I ordered the following: * 5-course appetizer platter * Tomato sauce pasta * Fried chicken breast * Tiramisu * Seasonal Sangria The 5-course appetizer platter was delicious, with each dish carefully crafted and delicately flavored 😋. The pasta was especially good! It was loaded with mozzarella cheese, and they even asked me when I wanted it made so I could enjoy the cheese at its peak stretchiness 💕. It's conveniently located right outside Kiyosumi Shirakawa Station's A3 exit, so I'll definitely be back!

I visited in February 2024. It's a pet-friendly establishment that gets quite busy for weekend lunches. The prices are typical for the Kiyosumi-Shirakawa area. The pasta, in particular, is a bit small for the price. If you're planning to have just one plate of pasta for a meal, it might not be enough for an adult male. The deep plates make the portions look larger than they actually are. The biggest advantage is that pets are allowed. This restaurant is not recommended for those who are allergic or sensitive to animals.

Italian restaurant in Kiyosumi Shirakawa 🍝 I went there alone, and I felt completely comfortable being by myself. The atmosphere of the restaurant was bright. The owner and his wife were very friendly, and the other chefs were also wonderful. For my meal, I had 350g of meat and the recommended pasta 🍝. The owner is very passionate about his pasta, and it was even better than I expected. The pasta I had this time was a sea bream ragout sauce pasta, which was incredibly delicious. They use the sea bream broth to make the sauce, and it was the best pasta I've ever had ✨. It made me want to try all the other pasta dishes! The meat was also excellent. It was a cut called "sagari" from Canada, and it was very tender 🥩. I thought it might be a bit tough because it was Canadian, but the chef cooked it perfectly and it was so tender. It was also very lean and easy to eat, so I ordered both 150g and 200g. The price was also very reasonable. Pasta set (with salad), 350g of meat, and Basque cheesecake for 5500 yen. I thought it was too cheap. The pasta is absolutely delicious, so please try it! I rated the food a 4 because I've only tried one pasta dish so far, so I felt it would be disrespectful to give it a higher rating 😃.

I had the course lunch (with sparkling wine for ¥2300!) at this restaurant in early September 2023. I had been wanting to try this place for a while, and it's perfectly located right across from the station and a park! The food was delicious! The appetizers were so good that I couldn't help but order a drink. (*^^*) I enjoyed a full course, from meat to pasta to dessert. The dishes were beautifully presented on cute plates. I also had a red wine, and the staff explained it so well that it was exactly what I was looking for. (^^) From the reservation process to the food, everything was pleasant and delicious. The restaurant is small, but it doesn't feel cramped and is very comfortable. If you're looking for a place to eat in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, I highly recommend this restaurant!
