| - A piece of italian cuisine, seen by japanese eyes, that won't disappoint your palate. Actually this adaptation beats the majority of the american version of it, since it is tastefully executed with flavorful ingredients, as opposed as let's say a mountain of overcooked spaghetti topped with half a gallon of brown marinara sauce and 4 huge 70% fat minimum meatballs! :)
The 4 of us (2 of us italians from Italy) shared 4 appetizers, 4 entrees and 2 desserts and we enjoyed equally all of them, which it is pretty awesome and unusual.
Octopus carpaccio, kobe beef carpaccio, fritto misto and some italian spring rolls with prosciutto and mozzarella whetted our appetite. Black ink squid spaghetti, miso carbonara, some japanese sausage and mushroom spaghetti and some kind of chicken with a nice balsamico sauce followed. A black sesame thick budino and a japanese version of macedonia con gelato (fruit and ice cream casserole) closed the deal and we were all happily satisfied with a check of $151, a really honest amount. Too bad no vino yet but I'm sure it's on its way, judging from the empty cellar behind the counter. I will definitely go back soon. Arigato.
