We went there because of high TA ratings-which I cannot understand. My spaghetti with olives and capers was very good-sauce was tasty and pasta cooked just right. Husband had lasagna which was quite small with nothing else alongside. He said it was just ok. The restaurant is small with what looked like just the owner and assistant taking and delivering orders. No bread was offered.I wouldnât say this was the best Italian I ever had but at least my pasta was very good. Be aware portions are not large and small tables are very close together.

We stumbled upon this off-the-beaten-path cat cafe while exploring the Yanaka section of Tokyo. Inside is a study in Japanese organic minimalist decor with mellow cats as an added attraction. They wander freely among guests and on the overhead cat walk. Service by the Italian (surprise!) owner is warm and prompt. Food is good but pricey for what you get. We had iced matcha (green tea with milk) - delicious - with a couple of small snack plates (focaccia and pickled vegetables). Recorded smooth jazz added to the laid back atmosphere. This was a welcome change on a warm afternoon from the crushing crowds of the neighborhood by our hotel.

Through an apparent miscommunication between our hotel and this restaurant, we were unable to get a table here. Then we were told by the owner that we werenât dressed appropriately...but that wasnât the reason we were refused service. If he hadnât said that, I wouldnât have been bothered. But because he mentioned it - it made me think that was the actual reason. Yes we were dressed like tourists who had been sightseeing all day - because we had been. But we had also traveled the trains for over 30 min to get there. It was terribly frustrating. The owner did make a reservation for us at his other restaurant and gave us a complimentary glass of champagne, which was nice. However the encounter left a bitter taste in my mouth.If you want to eat here, definitely make a reservation and dress for it.
