Delicious multi course menu for dinner, and all you can drink. I was surprised with how good the house red wine tasted.

I visited a newly opened Italian restaurant in Kagurazaka✨ The first thing we ordered was the 10-item appetizer platter, colorfully arranged across the whole plate, and just looking at it got us excited! The portions were generous too🥗 The carpaccio and risotto made with fish delivered directly from the fishing port were also delicious and full of seasonal flavor😋 What impressed me most was the oven-roasted vegetables! Apparently they change with the seasons, and the mizu-nasu eggplant we had this time was piping hot, wonderfully juicy, and fantastic🍆 The prime rib main course featured thick meat coated in sauce, so juicy that the meat juices practically overflowed🥩 Just as glossy as in the photo and so appetizing! The all-you-can-eat popovers served as the table appetizer were fantastic. They tasted so good I ended up eating lots. The atmosphere was stylish and suited Kagurazaka♪ There were 4 of us, so we sat at a table, but the counter looked impressive and had a lovely atmosphere too! Next time I'll try coming with a smaller group! The staff's service was very attentive and made us feel comfortable. Eating until full at this price was outstanding value💰 Completely satisfied!

I visited イタリア食堂 Ricco21 in Kagurazaka. The interior had a calm atmosphere with the warmth of wood, making it a lovely place to enjoy a relaxed meal in a casual setting. The first pleasant surprise was that the freshly baked bread served as the table appetizer was all-you-can-eat. Fragrant on the outside and fluffy inside, it was delicious on its own, but even better with the cream cheese dip served alongside it, and I couldn't resist getting more. The bagna cauda had plenty of fresh vegetables that went perfectly with the warm bagna sauce. You could taste the vegetables' natural sweetness, making it satisfying right from the appetizer. The Margherita was baked in a stone oven, with a crust that was crisp and fragrant outside and chewy inside. The balance of the tomato sauce's acidity, the mozzarella's richness, and the basil's aroma was excellent, and its simplicity really let the ingredients shine. The sea bream acqua pazza we had as our main featured plump, tender fish and an exquisite broth full of seafood flavor. At the end, they can make pasta using that broth, and this pasta was truly delicious, letting us enjoy every last drop of the seafood flavor. If you order this dish, this pasta service is something I'd really like you to try. Along with the food, the staff's attentive service made us feel comfortable, and we enjoyed a very pleasant meal. I'd recommend this restaurant for meals with friends, dates, or family outings. I'd definitely like to return when I visit Kagurazaka again. Thank you for the meal✨🌸

An Italian restaurant that opened in Kagurazaka. The natural interior, centered on wood tones, is comfortable and relaxed. You can enjoy dishes based on regional Italian cooking that incorporate seasonal Japanese ingredients. The first thing that stood out was the 「popovers」 served as the table appetizer. They're actually all-you-can-eat, with cream cheese and maple whipped butter. Their light, freshly baked texture makes it hard to stop reaching for more. They were also a perfect match for the gently sweet maple whipped butter. The 「seasonal fruit and burrata cheese ～salsa verde～」 used grapes that day. What surprised me was the size of the burrata. It was among the biggest I've seen and had a real presence. The rich, milky burrata went beautifully with the sweetness of the juicy grapes, and it tasted even better on the accompanying black bamboo-charcoal baguette. It also made a visual impression, and ordering it first was the right choice. The 「seafood carpaccio」 featured flounder that day. The thinly sliced flounder had a lovely texture, and the onion sauce was especially memorable. It brought everything together with just the right sweetness and acidity without overpowering the fish's savory flavor. The 「salami and eggplant Diavola」 stood out for its distinctive stone-oven aroma. The savory Napoli salami, sweet eggplant, and chili kick were well balanced, making it a pizza that called for wine. The dough was light, so it was surprisingly easy to eat. And the dish I personally found especially satisfying was the 「oven-baked lasagna」. Served piping hot, it was fragrant on top and meltingly soft inside. The richness of the meat sauce and cheese came through clearly, and the portion was quite substantial. It's a lot to finish alone, so sharing is recommended. Overall, the dishes making use of the stone oven were very well executed, and each dish was satisfying. A place to enjoy authentic Italian food casually in the calm atmosphere characteristic of Kagurazaka. Besides dates and meals with friends, I think it's also a convenient choice when you want to relax over wine.

「イタリア食堂Ricco21kagurazaka」😋💞 The 2nd location of a hugely popular Italian restaurant in Monzen-Nakacho opened in Kagurazaka on 5/15✨ I wanted something delicious, so I went with my unni, just the ２ of us🐾 Inside, there's a counter wrapping around the kitchen and oven, and that's where we sat🐾 I absolutely love popovers, and this restaurant's table appetizer is all-you-can-eat popovers💰️550円 That alone gets you excited⇧⇧⇧ First we ordered the daily 10-item appetizer platter. You can try a bite of this and that, and it's great with drinks too😋 〜A 10-item platter on one particular day〜 🥒Homemade pickles 🥕Carottes râpées 🥓Prosciutto & salami piccante & moist ham 🍄‍🟫Marinated mushrooms 🍤Frittata 🍳Gnocco fritto 🐟️Kibinago nanbanzuke 🐚Mosso clams steamed in white wine Everything was well seasoned, so the drinks just kept flowing lol. I had a 🍸️blood orange mimosa, and unni had 🍷sparkling orange wine, and we toasted🥂 Sitting at the counter looking at the oven right in front of us made us want something baked in it, so we ordered 3 dishes from the 🔥「400-degree oven-baked menu」. 🐟️Oven-baked Iwahime salmon 🥒Oven-baked zucchini and 🍆eggplant The Iwahime salmon was so fluffy, and eaten with wholegrain mustard, it was incredibly delicious😋 Eating the salmon together with the mashed potatoes underneath was good too. The roasted vegetables were thoroughly cooked🔥 but still juicy, and each had different seasoning. 🥒Zucchini → topped with shaved Parmigiano. 🍆Eggplant → bonito flakes? Japanese-style. If they have more types of roasted vegetables next time, I'd like to try a variety🤤 This time there were only 🍄‍🟫shiitake and the 2 dishes above. We had such a hard time deciding between 🍝pasta and 🍕pizza to finish lol, then thought maybe it could double as dessert. We ordered 🍕Quattro Formaggi. The oven-baked pizza was thick and more than twice the size we'd imagined, making the ２ of us look at each other😝 🧀4 kinds of cheese were piled on, all deliciously melty, and irresistibly good💯 Mozzarella・Parmigiano・Gorgonzola・Taleggio⇒their rich savory and salty flavors melted together, earning it my personal No.1 🧀Quattro Formaggi of all time😋💞
