Pizzeria Napoletana Cantera Chofu

The staff was accommodating and was very thorough. They went as far as to check if I had any food allergies to ensure I had the best dining experience. Had the Carbonara, I could tell right away they use quality ingredients.

This is our go-to restaurant whenever we crave for a good quality Italian food. We especially like their pizzas, which are freshly-cooked in their brick oven. Their pastas are perfectly cooked. Their calamari, iberico ham and assorted cheese are must-try.

This place can get really crowded during lunch and dinner. So I’d suggest you make reservations before coming here.

5 stars for effort and a great start!

This review is a mix of hits+ and misses- and mixes +/-

+ It has a pretty relaxing and cozy atmosphere. The customers at the bar/counter can see the open kitchen which has a nice pizza oven.

+ Customers seem to enjoy and I overheard some of them saying how delicious the food was. They also play some good music.

+ I ordered red bean ahijo, porcini tagliatelle and a glass of sparkling wine. Everything seems large, they're generous with the shrimp, bread and even the pasta. I didn't order pizza but I saw that it is good enough for 2-3 people.

- /+ There were spelling mistakes on the menu and I mentioned this to one of the servers. He immediately grabbed a pen and asked me to correct them politely.

- They gave me an oshibori (hot towel) about 10 minutes after I was seated.

- The server at the bar was using his phone, saw this happened twice. He's got good pizza dough skills though.

- Staff accidentally dropped some utensils including a wine glass. But I told myself, C'mon Grace give them a break, they're working hard!

+ One of the servers proactively offered water and asked for my last order. They also asked me what I thought of the food I ordered.

+ They all seem very busy so no one is slacking off which is a good thing.

Overall, I had a great time! The service and food were above par so I'm definitely coming back and trying other dishes!

***This Italian restaurant opened recently. It's about a 2-minute walk from the station (I have short legs) I came to the restaurant around 9:45 pm.***

It was good neapolitan pizza, however a bit pricey. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. Sadly there is no lunch menu and 1700 yen for one pizza margharita is a lot, it was not so big for the price. The waiter told us to be careful with ordering because pizza is big, but to be honest, it was very regular and I was little bit hungry after eating it.

I think it's the best Italian restaurant in Japan where I've been so far. The atmosphere is immaculate, the food is spectacular, and the service is on point! They read our minds when we wanted some water and gave it to us without a request!! 10 out of 10
