Dal Matto Review Summary

Mixed reviews but I had a great dining experience. Ordered prix fixe course ¥7,700 incl. tax -very reasonable starting with amuse, assorted appetizer, fish dish, meat dish, 2 pasta dishes hot and cold, lovely dessert and cafe. Every dish was executed nicely and flavorful. Service was excellent. However do note that this is more like an innovative Japanese-Italian and not the usual regional Italian cuisine ie Tuscan, Sicilian etc. if you are into authentic Italian, this is not it.

Ate here for Xmas eve which means a special (ie jacked up price) menu and tight 2hr fixed window to eat. Service and ambience good. Menu medicore. They did serve my glass of wine to the table next to me.... The big neg is the pasta dish -- noodles were similar to cup ramen and a weird sauce - 0 stars I couldn't finish it. The dessert coffee cream cake thing also not so great. Sorry maybe will try again one-day....

It’s the worst experience I’ve ever had in Japan. We tried to order a lunch set and a main dish wagyu. At first, the waiter trying to convince us to order two lunch set and refused to take the other. We asked about three times for the reasons then the waiter said it’ll take 30 minutes for the wagyu if we still want it. The wagyu tasted like chewing gum. It’s not like the A5 Wagyu I’ve tried before and really hard to cut. But the chef insisted that it’s just different parts of Wagyu. Then why don’t you choose a better part?

I'm wavering between 3 and 4 stars as it actually deserves 3.5. The burger fair special burger was good because of presentation and ingredients but they ruined it with a sweet sauce rather than savory sauce. Had a decent amount of foie gras and black truffle but it needed to be properly seasoned. A bit of truffle salt and reduced sweetness would turn this review into 5 stars.

I like the location hours and availability as it's typically available.

They will make you a vegan lunch if you ask - no need to book ahead.
