・Featured dish: Roasted corn with corn puree and served with prosciutto. The wine that came with it was a white Soave Classico from Veneto, is corn also a specialty of the same region? The ham's saltiness seemed a bit strong at first, but when paired with the wine, it balanced out. ・Tender partridge with prunes, speck-wrapped involtini, fennel-infused krauti, and apple mustard. This dish is incredibly delicious. It's a wonderful fusion of various ingredients and elements that harmonize perfectly, creating a heavenly harmony in your mouth. I was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected and exceptional flavors on this plate. ・Rich soup made by cooking and straining fresh fish of the day, "Ciuppin," with a hint of saffron and tomatoes, a traditional Genovese flavor, served with crostone. This soup was surprisingly rich, more like something you'd want to dip toast in rather than soup. ・"Pasta Foriere dell'Olivo" meaning olive pasta, with European seasonal mushrooms (girolle mushrooms) and spiny lobster. A must-try dish for pasta lovers. It was simply delicious. ・"Tagliolini" with Italian rabbit, black olives, and white ragu sauce. A good Italian restaurant must have delicious pasta, and this one did not disappoint. ・Roasted fillet of Iwate Tanjaku beef with Amarone sauce and Italian truffles. We opted to pair this with the wine recommended by the sommelier. It may be a classic choice, but it worked well with our meal. This was my first visit in a while, and I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious and delightful dining experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited for dinner ✨ They took me to eat a course meal and it was a very, very delicious restaurant ☺️ I was completely satisfied with the taste, all the dishes were delicious ❤️ I think it's great for a special date when you want to make a little effort ===========

A restaurant where you can taste traditional Italian dishes. You can enjoy exquisitely crafted high-resolution dishes. The atmosphere in the restaurant is enhanced by the emotional music from "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso", making you feel satisfied like after watching a masterpiece film. The place is filled with candles and roses, creating a lovely ambiance. It is conveniently located about a 6-minute walk from Hiroo Station. Highly recommended for anniversary dates.

This is my second post, but my third visit overall. On this day, I ordered a la carte instead of the prefix menu. We started with a toast of Elba Luce's sparkling wine. We enjoyed a Sicilian Calicante (white), Lagrein Rose from Trentino-Alto Adige, Galioppo Rose from Calabria, 1967 Barolo, and Brunello from Tuscany. We even indulged in a Recioto from Veneto to accompany our dessert. I initially thought of using this place as a wine bar, but Italian wines truly shine when paired with food, so we ended up having a full meal.

I had some business to attend to and visited this place. The atmosphere was excellent and it felt like a classy adult establishment. However, due to kitchen constraints, they only allowed about two groups in during a two-hour period, so we had to be considerate. We wanted to have a lively time eating Italian food, but it turned out to be a fixed course menu. It seems like it would be better to use this place for occasions where a French course meal is desired. Still, we enjoyed dishes such as white truffle pasta and filet steak with autumn truffles. It may give off a slightly expensive vibe, but overall - it was good!

I visited as my second stop. The focus is on Italian wine. They said they have no French wine! The slightly eccentric sommelier caught my interest... I definitely want to try dinner next time, not just as a second stop. I will visit again.

Second visit. The classy and soothing atmosphere with classical music playing is very comfortable. The other customers were a relaxed couple, allowing us to enjoy our meal in peace. The owner and sommelier, Mr. Takeishi, remembered my wine preferences from last time and selected a range of wines for me - red, white, orange, Marsala, dessert - perfectly matching my taste and the dishes. I was impressed by his skill in wine pairing, as I have had disappointing experiences elsewhere. I will definitely be back.

The phone reservation was very pleasant. Today we had the prefixed course with wine pairing. The prefixed course starts with a pasta presentation, and it's amazing that each of the 12 pasta dishes has a corresponding dish already determined. The great thing about the prefixed course here is that you can choose dishes based on the taste of the wine you want to drink. It was fun to be able to decide on the menu while consulting with owner and sommelier Takeshi. I prefer white and orange wines over red, and in other restaurants, I often get a slightly annoyed or cold reaction when I ask for a pairing with less red wine, but Takeshi said, "Of course, I can do that!" and made various suggestions. I was able to enjoy drinking sparkling wine, white wine, orange wine, white wine, white wine, and red wine, and felt comfortably tipsy. I'll definitely come back to try other menu items!

This was my second visit. The owner-sommelier, Mr. Takeishi, personally explained the menu and served the wine. My personal favorite points are the abundance of regional traditional dishes and the selection of Italian wines. Italian cuisine is so diverse that it's hard to decide what to order with so many unique dishes. There are also over 10 types of handmade pasta to choose from, each with a variety of sauces to enjoy. On this day, we started with Spumante and enjoyed rare selections such as Gattinara, Brunello, and Sagrantino, all carefully chosen by Mr. Takeishi. I definitely want to visit again.

Near the Tenkenshiji intersection, there is a restaurant that serves Italian cuisine and Italian wines. I visited on a weekday night. The interior of the restaurant has a calm atmosphere with deep reddish-brown wood and off-white colors, with an authentic feel due to the thousands of bottles of wine in the glass cellar. There are tables and a counter where you can enjoy your meal or drinks. The tables are placed at a good distance from each other, and some spaces are separated by curtains hanging from the ceiling, providing a moderate level of privacy. Since it was Christmas time, I opted for the Christmas truffle course paired with wines. Although I only took a few photos, each dish was of high quality, and the wines were exceptionally delicious. The service was very polite, with detailed explanations of the dishes and wines, showing deep knowledge and a customer-first attitude. It was a delightful dining experience.

Gourmet dinner with a gentleman in November at Incanto. I had been wanting to visit this restaurant for a while, so I was very excited when the day came to finally try it out. I thought it was going to be à la carte, but it turned out to be a course meal. We started with a pasta presentation, which included cauliflower bisque soup with steamed mussels on top, followed by a layered eggplant dish with burrata cheese and tomato sauce. The highlight was a scallop dish with olive leaf spinach pasta, followed by an exquisite prawn and mushroom combination. The main course was a tender and flavorful roasted horse meat with a horse meat-based sauce. The dessert was a coffee meringue with chestnut glace, a light and refreshing end to a meal that left a lasting impression. Overall, the unique pasta and sauce combinations were a delightful surprise. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Cauliflower mousse nage with layered Chuppini (snapper, cod, mackerel, etc.) - no bitterness. Full of flavor yet amazing. Whole grain Lunguetti pasta with duck meat and beef cheek stew - incredibly tender. Not heavy on the fat and no bitterness in the seasoning. I heard it's made with short-horned cattle. They really pay attention to detail. Black Wagyu beef can be tough. Tiramisu is very sweet. I had two glasses of wine, but they didn't go well with the food, so I switched to a soft drink. It might have been a bit slow because it was crowded, but the food came out a little slowly.

The refined Italian prefix menu had a wide variety of choices, especially for pasta. The taste of each dish is mostly determined by the type of noodles used. I opted for the chef's choice course and requested long pasta, which was very flexible and accommodating. The timing was perfect and the dishes were delicious, both the pasta and the meat. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Incanuto in Hiroo is a renowned Italian restaurant. I visited for the first time and was impressed by the extensive selection of Italian wines and the pleasant atmosphere, making it a great choice for a date. The service and food are excellent, with the option to customize pasta dishes with various ingredients. Highly recommended for business meetings, dates, and wine enthusiasts.

I heard that Incanto offers lunch service and decided to visit. It is located about a 10-minute walk from Hiroo Station. I didn't realize until I made a reservation by phone, but it's actually a sister restaurant of Kappas, which I love. They only open for lunch when there are reservations, so this time we were able to enjoy a private dining experience. The pasta at the entrance of Kappas greeted us with a sense of nostalgia. The lunch set menu "Menu Incanto per Pranzo" was priced at 6,000 yen and included the following dishes: - Cold Amare tomato soup - Scallop, salmon, green asparagus, Italian caviar with mustard and fennel sauce - Busiati with Hokkaido-sourced nasturtium, fennel, pine nuts, raisins, saffron, and breadcrumbs - Traditional Sicilian Con le sarde - Kazarecche with braised Akanen Wagyu shank meat ragout - Semifreddo with small tomatoes, basil, and paprika The set menu usually allows for a choice of appetizer, pasta, main course, and dessert, but this time we substituted one of the pasta dishes for another pasta dish. The dishes were all impeccably presented and tasted delicious. The pasta dishes were particularly outstanding, each with its own unique flavors. The ambiance and service were top-notch as well. I look forward to returning for a wine pairing experience in the evening.

I was curious about this place, and I heard that they started serving lunch during the pandemic, so I decided to go check it out. I made a reservation and visited during lunch on a weekday. You can choose your course after you arrive. They offer a light course for around 3,800 yen, a prefix course for 6,000 yen, and an omakase course for around 10,000 yen. This time, I chose the 6,000 yen course. The menu had so many options, it was hard to choose! I had seen pictures of their pasta dishes before, and choosing from the variety of pastas was fun! Despite the hard work that must go into the preparation, they had such a wide variety of pasta types. The dishes I had were: - Chilled tomato soup with sweet shrimp and sea urchin - Black olive bread and white sesame bread - Tartare of fresh fish (scallops, salmon) with mustard and fennel sauce, Italian caviar, green asparagus - Busiatte pasta with sardines, fennel, pine nuts, and breadcrumbs - Gazpacho with angus beef shin ragu, paprika, tomato, basil - Zuppa inglese In conclusion, I was very satisfied. Everything was delicious, but the pasta was especially amazing. The service was also attentive, and I had a very pleasant time. I really love elegant, classic Italian cuisine. I'm happy to have found such a great restaurant, highly recommended. They are also known for their wide selection of wines, so next time, when I can drink, I want to come back at night. Thank you for the meal.

Hiroo × Italian's pioneering super famous restaurant, although the restaurant is not large, the seating spacing is wide and reassuring. Normally open only for dinner, but currently offering lunch by reservation only. There are 3 course options to choose from on the day of the visit. **Purchased items (tax and service charges included):** **Menu Incanto Speciale (12,474 yen)** - Today's appetizer: Tomato cold soup with fruit tomatoes' sweetness and acidity well balanced and refreshing. The combination of sweet shrimp and tomato creates a different synergistic effect, with a hint of flavor change from fennel and squid ink. - Cold dish: Kawamata Shamo Porchetta with a hint of port wine in the liver part, creating a moist texture with a mild aroma. The meat part of Kawamata Shamo has a subtle scent of chestnut and honey, with a ham-like strong texture and umami. Served with Shamo jus and apricot sauce. - Hot dish: Thick soup made by boiling today's fresh fish, "Chuppin," with Hokkaido scallops. Served with sea bream, golden eye snapper, and Japanese mackerel broth, which is not too heavy due to the reduced tomato. The aroma of saffron enhances the scent of the fish itself, with a strong aftertaste that is pleasant. The soup has a thick consistency similar to a potage, complemented by crostini. - Pasta: Homemade whole wheat pasta L'unghegetti with Challan duck ragu sauce. The Challan duck thigh meat ragu sauce is well simmered, creating a soft texture. The subtle spiciness, umami, and fragrance of the meat combined with herbs, spices, and red wine spread gently with each bite. The whole wheat L'unghegetti offers a robust taste and a firm texture that is satisfying. - Main course: Roasted premium fillet beef from Iwate, served with Italian truffles. The tenderly cooked meat is somewhat lacking in moisture when viewed alone but is complemented by a rich sauce made with raisins soaked in wine. The salt and pepper enhance the flavor, while the generous use of truffles adds fragrance. It may not stand out as much when it comes to the meat alone, but as a dish, it is of high quality. - Dessert: Zuppa made with sponge soaked in herb liquor that instantly dissolves with moisture. The liqueur has a subtle taste and is not too strong. The custard cream has a very thick consistency, almost solid, creating a rich and eggy flavor with the sponge. The herbs in the accompaniment add a refreshing touch. Overall, it is surprisingly approachable. - Petit fours: Coffee meringue, biscotti, Savoiardi, and Zalletti (cornmeal cookies) are rustic yet traditional Italian treats, presenting a unified feel. - Earl Grey cream. - Italian grape juice, white (1,100 yen) and red (1,100 yen). - Surziva (880 yen). The service at this renowned Italian restaurant in Hiroo is solid, with excellent food explanations. While the restaurant emphasizes wine pairing, the courses are delicious and relatively reasonably priced, making it very convenient for a limited-time lunch menu. Although I generally don't have high expectations for Italian desserts (hence, I have visited more French restaurants than Italian ones), the slightly weak dessert didn't bother me too much. I'm glad I got to visit this restaurant that I've been wanting to try, and if I get the chance, I would love to revisit.

Secondo piatto: Braised beef in Chianti Classico wine, a slow-cooked dish from Tuscany using the famous red wine Chianti Classico. 7. Dolce: Seasonal Italian chestnuts, crispy meringue, caramel gelato, and whipped cream Mont Blanc style dessert. 8. Tea: Earl Grey vanilla tea.

Lunch Prefix Course Price: Around 7000 yen Rating: Located a 6-minute walk from Hiroo Station. Especially delicious dishes included the following: Cold Appetizer: Tartare di Frutti di Mare A finely chopped tartare of salmon and scallops, dressed with Sicilian fennel and mustard sauce, and topped with caviar, creating a luxurious dish that also highlights the texture of asparagus. Pasta (Sanpi de Gattu): Saffron Cream Sauce with Italian Vegetables Sanpi de Gattu, meaning cat's pawprints, featuring the textures of zucchini, broccoli, and asparagus in a delicious saffron cream sauce that was personally delightful and absolutely satisfying. Main Course: Braised Chianti Classico Beef Cheeks Beef cheeks braised in Chianti Classico red wine, tender and flavorful, though slightly on the salty side. Very delicious. Dessert: Montebianco (Italian-style Mont Blanc) A combination of chestnut and ice cream with crunchy meringue resembling a snow-capped mountain. Another dish of exquisite flavor. The atmosphere and service were also excellent, with nothing to complain about. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
