This place deserves a Michelin star. Exquisite attention to details. A well structured course setting. A beautiful presentation of super healthy foods. I can only compare this restaurants on a par with Faro, Ginza Shiseido. Better than Chez Panis in California. It is equally exquisite but a lot cheaper perhaps due to underground intimate setting. A great place for international travelers looking for an unique gourmet experience in Tokyo. Highly recommend for lady friends :)

The flavors of the ingredients are brought to life.
The minestrone is one of my particular favorite.
The hospitality of the chef, sommelier and staff is also excellent!

Highly recommend. Chef speaks great English and makes everything look so easy. Italian food with strong Japanese ingredients/influence that really works. Some great wines as well, will be back.
I think we had 15-16 courses and were full when we left… in case you need more they are happy to help you out with more pasta or other items.
