Sporcaccione

Excellent. A bit far from center of tokyo but so worth it.

good place. Good vine. Good food.
And good company.
Really Italian style.

Sporcaccione, an Italian restaurant located in front of Meidaimae.
Although it is difficult to make a reservation in the near future, I was very impressed when I went there.
It is located in a residential area in front of Meidaimae, and the exterior has a blocky appearance that resembles Howl's Moving Castle.
The house has been around for about 80 years, so the ceilings are low, including the doors, so it feels like something out of Gulliver's Adventures.
The chef has also trained in Italy, including Mikasa Kaikan, Il Boccalone, and La Gioconda, so you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in a casual setting.
All of the dishes are delicious and satisfying, but first of all, the appetizer platter has about 10 different appetizers beautifully arranged on a plate.
Each dish has a different seasoning, so you can enjoy it with excitement until the end, and the portions are huge, so it's a great deal.
Also, I would like you to try the linguine super freshly ground Genovese.
The basil is roasted in a mortar just before it is roasted, so it has an outstanding fresh aroma.
The combination of this aroma and the taste of garlic makes you feel like you can eat as much as you want.
It's a restaurant where you'll want to come back again and again, with a laid-back atmosphere that feels like you've come to your grandma's house, and an irresistible taste of authentic home-cooked Italian food.
This is one of the stores I want to visit regularly.

First visit after moving to Meidaimae.
I had seen on social media that an old house was being renovated, but this is what it looks like! I was impressed.

A restaurant that is difficult to make reservations for.
Reservations start from the 1st of the previous month.

First, an assortment of appetizers
→A plate full of vegetables. All have different seasonings and are all delicious. It's healthy to eat plenty of vegetables.

squid fritto
→ Squid coated in flour and simply fried. Even so, it's extremely delicious. The amount of salt is the best.

Tuna tartare
→ Is it sprinkled with rock salt and drizzled with olive oil? It's light but rich. No odor at all. It's insanely delicious.

grilled beef
→ Rarely grilled beef. Tataki-like. There's plenty of cheese on top.
This is also a very simple seasoning.
Can two people eat it? I was worried about the volume, but there was no problem. I could eat it with ease.

Freshly rubbed Genovese
→We filled a large mortar with basil leaves, and the male staff member did his best to slurp them up. I think everyone at the table was asking for it.
Fresh and delicious. Next time I want to try other pastas.

Burrata and prosciutto on small fried bread
→The salt in the bread is delicious. The raw ham is low in salt, and the cheese is milky. The combination is great.

Is it no longer good? As I said this, I finally ate my dessert.

There is no drink menu, but they will explain various things to suit your tastes according to the food you order.
One glass each of beer, white wine, rose, red, and orange. Finally, coffee to go with dessert. Also, this coffee is really delicious.

It was the best. I want to go again soon.
