Trattoria Jugemu Review Summary

I had a rather disappointing experience at this place.

The food was quite disappointing. The pasta was a bit too mushy and lacked flavor.

The service was also not great. There were only two of us, and I arrived five minutes early. Unfortunately, they didn’t let me in and asked me to wait outside until my partner arrived - even though the restaurant was half empty. When we asked for extra food after finishing our lunch, they refused.

Food was normal and decent however, service was quite bad. Went in on a weeknight after randomly searching on Google for Italian restaurants in the area. Staff was difficult to call (even being ignored on several occasions), and sometimes can be quite condescending and arrogant when answering questions regarding their menu. Didn't enjoy the experience at all. The food itself though was of a pretty decent level for Italian food by Tokyo's standard, but nothing to rave about to be truthfully honest. Spent JPY 10K+ there for 2, but for the same amount of money, I'd recommend others to go elsewhere where you get similar quality of food with most probably much better service.

Great foood (Italian)
Really enjoyed it

Maybe more for 2nd round for bar food and some wine.

``Trattoria Jugem'' is a hidden Italian restaurant located quietly underground, a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Kanda Station.
The sophisticated dim lighting and calm interior create an atmosphere that is easy to visit whether you are alone or in a group.
Although it is located near the station, it is a famous restaurant that has a reputation for serving high-quality Italian food.

Overall impression of the dish
Lunchtime is especially cost-effective, and you can enjoy a satisfying pasta dish that comes with soup and salad.
In particular, the daily menu is full of special dishes made with seasonal ingredients and the chef's flair.
It is highly popular and sometimes sells out quickly, so we recommend arriving early if you plan to visit.

Ordered menu & food report
✔️ Daily pasta (creamy bacon and porcini pasta)
・Soup and salad: Salads are fresh and filling. The soup has plenty of ingredients, and it's enough to make you feel satisfied.

・Pasta: The rich aroma of porcini that spreads the moment it is delivered will whet your appetite. The smooth sweetness of the cream, the deliciousness of the bacon, and the rich flavor of the porcini come together, and the chewy texture of the pasta makes it even more delicious.
