We hadn't planned on Italian in Japan, but this turned out to be a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was relaxed and vibrant, the food was DELICIOUS, hot and very fast! Staff were brilliant. We had a very good time here! My daughter had intended us to eat at some "exclusive" restaurant eleswher...e, but fell through due to a terrible booking system and she was really upset. The Italian restaurant is actually part of the hotel we stayed at - and we had no reservation for dinner this night, however they fit us in. The experience was so good, it really changed our whole day! Others there at adjoining tables of various nationalities were also really happy

Great night out. Very popular with the locals. Excellent Pizzas and wine menu. Staff speak English and as expected top draw. If you are in the area….visit.

Great food, we all enjoyed our meal, family of 4. Good service. The 2nd time we went they had lots of spare tables, but said there would be a long wait for a meal so we didn't stay.

Eating out Italian style is a huge trend in Japan, while finding relatively authentic cuisine beyond "pasta in red sauce and pizza" can be a challenge. IL-Chianti, oddly located in the B1 level of the Resol Hotel, highlights good valued Italian red wines, a variety of tasty apps (the cheese and eggp...lant as well as the braised veggies with anchovy sauce are both thick and rich and pair well with their Chianti) and pastas, along with a looping reel of the 1954 film, "Roman Holiday" while you dine. The owner so loves this movie classic that it plays every night, all night. Buonissimo!
