Ala Ara

Came here while on holiday in Tokyo. The place was very busy with locals as well as tourists. Shown to our table quickly and given menus, loads of choices it was hard to decide! I went for croquettes to start, partner had pate. We were brought some tomato con pan for an appetiser which was deliciou...s as well! Mains was chorizo and meatballs in a tomato sauce and also pork and beans in a smoky sauce. Enjoyed both courses so much we went for a dessert too, both amazing (see photos). Tomorrow is our last night in Tokyo before moving city but I am very tempted to come back! Would recommend.

I am from Spain and I am telling you, DO NOT come here. The food was so bad, super buttery and tasteless. They made me get a drink and charged me a cover charge without first telling me. And the waiter (a Mexican guy) was also super rude.

It's supposedly fine dining. Service was sometimes stiff but friendly. We were suggested to order the squid-ink paella, which they said is extremely good. It was tasty but far too salty. There were very small invisible pieces of squid and supposedly clams, we are told, but couldn’t see anything but ...just rice, which was really very hard. Definitely the opposite of what you would find in Spain, where the rice is soft and melts in your mouth. Everything is super-pricey. On top of that, they charge 300 yen “cover charge” no matter what you order. The worst aspect of this place is that it sees groups of noisy rowdy drunken “salary-men” every night.

My wife and I recently had dinner here. We were very pleased with the overall selection and the quality of the food. We also had a couple of glasses of wine. The service was very attentive and the prices were overall reasonable. I would recommend this place if you in the mood for a break from tr...aditional Japanese food.

We decided to try out this place since we failed to get into another Italian fushion outlet. Surprisingly the dishes though small was worth the visit. I enjoyed almost every dish ...from simple olives to green salad , button mushroom hotpot, potatoes and the superb paella which was my favorite. I wi...ll definitely go back for the seafood paella and keep the dish to myself - not enough for sharing.
