Pizzeria Il Tamburello Review Summary

Fantastic Neapolitan pizza! The crust was perfectly airy and charred, with a rich tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil. Truly authentic, with quality ingredients shining through. Each pizza was around 2000 yen—great value for such a delicious experience!

The pizza oven looks legit and the pizza is pretty good. The one with proccini mushroom is excellent. Dessert is not as impressive but still good by Tokyo standard.

[Updated] Their lunch menu is a very good value, set prove for an appetizer, lunch and a small dessert. I was pleasantly surprised to see they serve fired pizza, which is very difficult to find outside Naples, let alone outside Italy.

The chef was apparently trained in Naples and he brought the authentic pizza flavor.

Incredible pizza. The best I have had from a more casual eatery.

I came with two friends about 10 minutes after opening on a weekday night and were seated immediately. We were the first party there, but as we sat, other parties soon trickled in. There's a 2 hour-ish table reservation period, but frankly that was more than enough time for us to order and eat.

The interior is cozy and gives off a homey warmth. We were seated in one of the only spots meant for a party of 4, so larger parties beware. True to its description, there is a small wood fired oven in the kitchen, which adds a quaint flair to the location.

We ordered some antipasti, and two pies; one margherita with prosciutto, and another on a separate menu. Our server was multilingual and his English quite good. No problems communicating at all, although it does help that we can understand a bit of Japanese.

The pizza, phenomenal. It felt like the pizza were each prepared and baked individually, so there's a bit of a wait, but is totally worth it. Proportions? A bit small, but for a quality pizza, I'm completely fine with this. The dough has a nice char on the outside with pockets of bubbles, and the inside, airy with a bit of chew.

I had a fantastic experience here. If you're willing to wait a bit for a quality pizza, then look no further. I'll definitely be back when I stay in the area!

The Pizza is delicious, especially the fritta, which is a fried, but light and airy dough with creamy cheese and salami inside.. It was heavenly! We had their lunch menu set, which was an appetizer, one pizza, and one dessert for 1800 yen. My husband ordered the margarita and I had one with anchovies, both were so delicious!

Great authentic Napoli style pizza restaurant.
Their pizzas are flavorful yet light and crispy.
I really enjoyed the Diablo pizza with spicy Salami on tomato sauce and mozzarella. If you want a reasonable yet high-quality Italian food in this area displays is highly recommended.
