Tabelog ratingThe chef trained in Tuscany and builds Italian dishes around Okinawan produce. The signature is diamond squid shaved so thin it is served like ribbons of tagliatelle, seasoned with kombu salt. Other local touches include fried gnocchi with jiimaamii (peanut tofu), mozuku seaweed zeppoline and a tiramisu set on chinsuko, the Okinawan shortbread. You choose wine inside a walk-in cellar.
Warm, attentive service comes up in nearly every review. Staff adapt dishes for children, allergies and pregnancy, and they plate shared courses separately for each diner. Reviewers name the tiramisu again and again as the dish to order. They also praise the handmade pastas, including truffle carbonara, agu pork ragù, purple sweet potato or carrot ravioli and cacio e pepe. Charcoal-grilled agu pork and wagyu and the marlin fritto get frequent mentions. Counter seats facing the open kitchen are a favourite.
The main complaint is portion size, especially for pasta, and several diners found it pricey for Japan. One Japanese reviewer thought the food merely average, and one family found some starters underwhelming. One guest reported rats and undercooked pasta. Another said they were turned away from a half-empty room and suspected bias.
The restaurant serves dinner only, so there is no lunch spend to report. Dinner usually runs ¥8,000–9,999 per person. In 2025–2026 reviewers paid around ¥6,600 for a six-course set and ¥8,000 or ¥8,800 for longer courses. A single pasta cost a little over ¥2,000. One couple spent about ¥6,000 each à la carte with drinks, and a group of four with wine paid ¥70,000. Several Japanese diners say the same meal would cost 1.5 times as much in Tokyo, so it is good value for the quality. Big eaters should order extra or ask for larger pasta portions.
