great restaurant! service was extremely fast, brought out free appetisers within minutes, all with great presentation and so delicious. The portions were perfect sizes and all displayed beautifully, and tasted wonderful! The service set this restaurant apart, our server gave us in depth information... about the restaurant and dishes, was extremely friendly and gave us a brilliant fine dining experience!! 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

The food here is absolutely delicious; we were completely blown away. We were particularly impressed with our waiter, John – he’s incredibly attentive! The burrata is a must-try 🍅✨ The food isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s good quality and it’s a lovely place to spend an evening.

Don't miss out on the best Italian food in Japan! We loved dining here so much we had lunch 2 days in a row. The vegetarian asparagus risotto was unbelievable! It was better than in Rome. I will be thinking about it for years to come. The lasagna was like your grandmother cooked it. The tiramisu and... strawberry tart were to die for... Save room for dessert! The whole restaurant staff, Andrea (owner/chef), Tora, Zahra & John were welcoming, kind and fun to chat with. The restaurant is beautifully decorated making you think you're on dinning in Italian country side. Please make time to eat here while in Kyoto! Thank you for wonderful memories and unforgettable food!

Looked to be an interesting place to eat. Long intro from the well versed waitress about the quality of the ingredients. Couldn’t buy a bottle of house wine so 11000 a glass. Opted for the seafood platter to share as a starter and then see how our appetites were after that. Enjoyed the amuse bouche ...selection. Tasty but not worth the cost. Sushi in another form! Voiced my disappointment to the host that the prawns weren’t cleaned. Was told “we don’t do that in Japan” !! Needless to say we didn’t order anything else.

Went here as recommended from guide. It was meh. Do not expect european quality. Have had much better lasagna in the states that was *frozen*. So if desperate for non-Japanese flavor, it’s okay, but curb your expectations. Not great.
