Tabelog ratingFiocchi (フィオッキ) offers a highly personal and technical take on Italian cuisine from a tiny, ten-seat space in Soshigaya. The experience is built around a six-seat counter where the chef prepares and explains each course of the omakase menu, which blends Piedmontese traditions with seasonal Japanese ingredients. The restaurant is a pilgrimage for many diners for one dish in particular: the 仔羊の藁包ロースト (straw-wrapped roast lamb), consistently praised for its incredible aroma and perfectly rendered, sweet fat.
Guests repeatedly celebrate the lamb, a made-to-order tiramisu, and creative pairings like sea urchin with barley or venison with oyster. The thoughtful wine and non-alcoholic pairings are also a highlight, as is the chef's narrative that turns the meal into a coherent, ingredient-driven journey. The final pasta course, often a simple tomato tagliatelle, is another frequently mentioned favourite.
Diners should be aware of the restaurant's distinct format. The price is high, and with a single seating time for all guests, the meal is a deliberately slow affair, lasting 2.5 to 3 hours. The small room and fixed pace may not suit everyone. A few reviewers have also noted that service can feel brusque over the phone.
Reviewers in 2024–2026 paid around ¥14,500 for a six-course lunch and between ¥18,700 and ¥20,900 for the full dinner omakase. With a wine pairing (around ¥12,000–¥13,200) and a 10% service charge, a dinner for one can approach ¥39,000. Most who treat it as a special-occasion meal find the quality and execution to be worth the cost.
