I visited the restaurant "Pegaso" in Nishi-Azabu after making a reservation for dinner. The interior of the restaurant had a calm color scheme and an elegant atmosphere. ▪️ Chef's course dinner / 11,000 yen - Ao-ika and myoga tartare with fresh sea urchin - Tripled-caught bonito straw-grilled with fruit tomatoes and grilled eggplant tapenade sauce - Shizuoka Acou sea bream charcoal-grilled with dadacha beans soup - Handmade tagliolini with Awaji-produced conger eel, Kujo negi, and sudachi scent - Handmade Tayarine with Loire pigeon ragout and carbonero sauce - Hokkaido Ishida Men'ya Ranch lamb loin charcoal-roasted - Mango sorbet with coconut blancmange, white wine jelly, and passion fruit sauce ▪️ Wine - Pertois Moriset L'assemblage Brut - Vire Clesse “Les Hauts Des Menards” - Ronco del Gnemiz 2020 Friulano San Zuan - Moccagatta Barbaresco Cole - Castello di Bolgheri Bolgheri Superiore 2018 - Praepositus Kerner Passito Abbazia Di Novacella 2018

Since it seemed like one of Italy's top restaurants, I made a reservation online and visited alone. I had the Pranzo course for 6,050 yen. In total, it was 7,130 yen. Even though it was lunch, it felt like a great deal. The course included chilled corn potage, Miyagi skipjack sashimi with fruit tomatoes and summer vegetable sauce, Ibaraki red sea bream charcoal-grilled with black olive sauce, Spaghetti Bolognese, Miyagi KiriShima pork shoulder roast, dessert, and herbal tea. Overall, the food was delicious, but it didn't quite reach the point of bringing a smile to my face. The dessert was really good though. The restaurant was a bit far from the nearest station, taking more than 15 minutes to walk. Inside, there were 7 counter seats, 3 tables, and it seemed like there was also a second floor. The entire place was non-smoking.

I had a lunch course. Corn blancmange - the sweetness of the corn is amazing. Flounder carpaccio - the best of the day! The flounder and eggplant soup was very good. Conger eel and Kujo green onion tagliolini - the conger eel and Kujo green onion paired perfectly with the tagliolini pasta. It was very delicious! The second best of the day. Lamb tagliatelle - well balanced and very tasty. Beef rump - white peach compote - overall, there were no disappointments and everything was delicious! I will definitely come again.

After passing through the green path of Hiroo Garden Hills, you will come across a quiet area with many apartment buildings and large houses. The street is lined with Italian brands known for their delicate care and creativity, offering a series of exquisite dishes. Overall, the dishes were crafted with a subtle seasoning that enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients. The pasta had the perfect texture, the fish was seasoned just right, and the meat was tender. It was truly a special dining experience.

The service staff had a great sense of humor and interacted with us in a friendly manner, which overshadowed the fact that each dish was supposed to taste delicious. They asked about the purpose of our meal and our preferences in advance, making it a very communicative and polite restaurant.

I visited for dinner and everything was delicious, especially the seasonal white asparagus which was the tastiest I've ever had. I couldn't help but ask the staff for their cooking method. The staff was very polite, and both the atmosphere and taste were outstanding. Highly recommend!

Occasionally, it's nice to indulge. For lunch, I wanted to casually enjoy Italian cuisine. I found a nice place on the 1st floor of a city apartment building. The staff were friendly, but not so laid-back for a country girl like me. There were only 2 groups of customers, including us. Quite luxurious. We ordered a course menu for about 6000 yen. Champagne, not sparkling wine. We started with a chilled soup made from a mysterious vegetable called piselli - it was delicious. The appetizer was smoked cherry trout sashimi with a fruit sauce that was amazing. We added some white wine. The fish dish was grilled sawara, rich and flavorful. We then added a light red wine. The bolognese was like linguine, very flavorful. We ordered a strong wine which turned out to be our favorite of the day. The main course was lamb neck, with delicious fatty meat. We paired it with a red wine. For dessert, we had ice cream and jelly, followed by espresso. The wine prices are unknown because we drank quite a bit. Overall, the cost performance is great if you exclude the drinks. Feeling a little tipsy, we walked through Miyashita Park towards Shibuya. It was a great holiday.

"Pegaso" restaurant in Hiroo, which won the 2020/21 Bronze Medal and the Italian Tokyo Top 100 in 2021. Pegaso means Pegasus in Italian. They offer lunch courses starting from ¥6,050. I chose the lightest course at ¥6,050. For drinks, I ordered mineral water for ¥800. The meal started with Jerusalem artichoke potage soup, which was delicious, but the standout was the crispy Jerusalem artichoke chips. Next was the Kanagawa-produced red snapper carpaccio with turnip marinade, a visually beautiful dish. It was light yet flavorful, with the turnip complementing the delicate red snapper. The fish dish was charcoal-grilled gurnard from Hyogo prefecture, with an olive sauce. The crispy grilled skin and tender meat, along with the convincing olive sauce, were delightful. The spaghetti was served with Bolognese sauce, combining al dente noodles with flavorful sauce and cheese. The main dish featured roast pork shoulder from Miyazaki prefecture, roasted over charcoal and served with grain mustard sauce. The balance of fat and lean meat, along with the delicious vegetable garnish, was impressive. The dessert was citrus-based, offering a refreshing sweetness after the savory dishes. Overall, the meal cost around ¥8,000. While there weren't any standout dishes, the experience was pleasant but not necessarily memorable.

This is a recommended restaurant located between Roppongi and Hiroo, making it a bit difficult to reach on foot, but it was fully booked on Friday night. We had a course meal, and the highlight was the two types of handmade pasta, which were extremely delicious. It was impressive to experience how the thickness of the noodles could make such a difference in enjoyment. The fish was Ishaki, and the meat was venison, both delicious without any unpleasant smell. The portion was just right for women, not too much. I had a wonderful encounter with this restaurant~

I attended a piano lunch concert. The performer was Mr. Yukio Yokoyama, who played Chopin's piano sonatas and concertos up close. It was a wonderful moment that cannot be measured in terms of money. Just by listening to the music, I felt happy even without the food. And on top of that, the dishes that came out were incredibly delicious. Each dish really brought out the flavor of the ingredients and complemented each other. We also had wine, and the red wine in particular was delicious. Amazing!

I visited for dinner on Christmas Eve. The interior of the restaurant had a cozy atmosphere with soft lighting. We had a special Christmas dinner course this time. It included an amuse-bouche, two appetizers, a fish dish, a meat dish, two pasta dishes, and dessert/coffee. The portions were small, so I was worried if I would feel full, but I ended up being satisfied. Although there weren't any dishes that stood out as amazing, the presentation and taste were enjoyable. The service from the staff was pleasant and thoughtful, making it a comfortable experience. It was a bit disappointing that the dishes were served late, likely due to the busyness of Christmas Eve, but I would like to try their lunch menu as well.

Near the Red Cross Medical Center, I went to a dinner with a recital by Professor Yukio Yokoyama along with children playing the piano. The atmosphere of the restaurant, the size, the distance from the piano, the hospitality of the staff, and the post-recital meal were all a blissful time. My son exchanged business cards with the manager, and my daughter received a birthday plate – they were both delighted. It was a wonderful experience to listen to the amazing piano performance.

I visited this restaurant with 10 friends who are business owners. It is located in Minami Aoyama, just a short distance from Nishi-Azabu. This area has quiet bars and I sometimes take a stroll and peek inside. They offer a course menu featuring seasonal ingredients (8 courses in total). They also recommend champagne or wine to pair with the dishes, which adds to the enjoyment. It has a romantic atmosphere, perfect for a date, but this time it was a gathering of middle-aged men (laughs). Thank you for the wonderful meal.

In a chic location in Minami Aoyama, they serve Italian cuisine using seasonal ingredients in course menu style! If you leave it to them, they will also do wine pairing for you, which is great✨ It would be nice for a casual date or something like that! Thank you for the feast.

I reserved the "Pranzo course" for lunch on a day off and visited for the first time. I enjoyed delicious wine and the course at the counter seat where you can see the kitchen's grill. Started with celeriac potage, followed by grilled Nagasaki sea bream and marinated eggplant with peanut sauce, charcoal-grilled Hyogo red snapper with fruit tomato sauce, spaghettini with Ezo deer ragout sauce, charcoal-grilled Kagoshima black pork shoulder roast, and dessert with herbal tea. The focus was on charcoal grilling and the wine selection was great, making it a high-cost performance and satisfying lunch.

I visited Il Teatrino Da Salone the other day, which is located along Aka Street where there are many famous and highly rated shops. I had lunch there alone during a break from work. The courses are like dinner courses, allowing you to take your time and enjoy your meal. It was a shame that I couldn't have wine since it was lunch. The food was, without a doubt, amazingly delicious! I had the Pegaso course for lunch, which included 8 items for 13,200 yen (tax included) along with a non-alcoholic sparkling drink.

I visited this restaurant a while back for a celebration, and I was given the option to choose my favorite food, so I chose Italian without any hesitation. I had heard great reviews about this place, so I decided to try their "Chef's Special Dinner Course" for 16,500 yen, which features the best ingredients of the day. The menu included: Squid and Caviar, Red Snapper Carpaccio with Kaga Daikon, Shiso, Edamame, and Karasumi, Roasted Eel with Organic Eggplant, Sautéed Managatsuo, Uni and Tomato Pasta, Roasted Pigeon from Loire, and Hokkaido Wagyu Sirloin. The restaurant was fully booked in the private rooms, so I sat at a regular table, but the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, allowing us to have a relaxing conversation. We started with a toast with Champagne, which tasted exceptionally good on a hot day. I enjoyed both pasta dishes, as I love pasta. Each dish was carefully prepared and delicious. Since I'm not a fan of sweet desserts, I opted out and was offered a nice white wine for the second half of the meal. The staff were attentive and accommodating, selecting a wine that matched my taste preferences. Overall, I found this restaurant easy to book, with a pleasant ambiance and reasonable prices, making it a convenient choice for various occasions. I would recommend it for business meals as well. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

All the dishes were delicious and enjoyable both visually and gastronomically. What stood out the most was the sommelier's excellent wine selection, creating truly magical pairings with the dishes. Even if you think you may not like a particular wine, when paired with the food, it's like stepping into a whole new world! This is the true meaning of a perfect pairing! This was my second visit, but I definitely want to come back again.

One weekend afternoon, I had the chance to have a solo meal. Since it was a weekend lunch, I wanted to eat something a little more high-quality than usual. I searched on Tabelog for an Italian restaurant where I could make a solo reservation and ended up at this restaurant. The location was in the area I have been to recently, such as Minami Aoyama's "Il Teatrino Da Salone," "Niku-sho Horikoshi," "Azabu Shougetsudou," and so on. When I entered, there were no other customers, probably because it was still early. I was seated at the counter and the course I had reserved in advance, the "Dinner Time Course for 15,000 yen served during lunch," began. Pegaso Course 13,200 yen (tax included): 1. Hair Crab Peeler (Green Peas) 2. Red Sea Bream Carpaccio with Spring Cabbage and Sweet Summer 3. Sautéed North Shell and White Asparagus with Butterbur Shoots 4. Grilled Grouper Sweet Snapper Soup 5. Sea Urchin Tagliatelle 6. Lima Beans Cacio e Pepe (Pecorino Cheese) Tagliatelle 7. Grilled French Pigeon 8. Melon Soup White Chocolate Mousse Lime Sorbet The Hair Crab Peeler was a vibrant cold appetizer with the red of the crab and the green of the green peas. The umami of the crab and the fresh aroma of the green peas were impressive. The Red Sea Bream Carpaccio with Sweet Summer was a refreshing appetizer with Sweet Summer as an accent. The Sautéed North Shell and White Asparagus featured juicy white asparagus and high-quality North Shell that matched well. The Sea Urchin Tagliatelle was a rich pasta as expected. The Lima Beans Cacio e Pepe Tagliatelle used a pasta called Tagliatelle and had a light seasoning, with the shaved Pecorino and olive oil being very good. The Grilled French Pigeon was more substantial than I had anticipated. While not exactly impressive, I thought the grilling was quite good. The dessert, Melon Soup, was refreshing. Personally, I was hoping for a more rich and indulgent dessert. Overall, it was a light and well-balanced impression that valued the ingredients. When I say light, I mean compared to Italy, as I believe this taste is normal in Japan. I prefer rich, saucy dishes with plenty of sauce rather than dishes that emphasize the ingredients. However, I think the current direction of the restaurant is safe and suitable, even though it may not align with the preferences of the general Japanese population.

A few days ago, I made a reservation and visited a restaurant for lunch with a friend. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was slightly tense, making me feel a bit nervous. The customers seemed to be young working individuals or a bit rowdy looking people from around the area. The service staff were very matter-of-fact in their approach. Minimal explanation of the dishes. We started off with champagne for lunch, and our first dish was the "Sweet Green Pea Soup"... A vibrant green warm soup with a hint of black pepper. The green peas were fresh and delicious with no aftertaste. It quickly became my favorite. The second dish was "Hokkaido Cherry Salmon"... Served with a lemon sauce, the acidity of the lemon paired well with the moist salmon. The third dish was "Pan-Seared Snapper with Black Olive Sauce"... The flavorful snapper paired nicely with the finely chopped black olives. Next, we had the "Spaghetti Bolognese with Chirimen Cabbage"... A soy sauce-flavored sauce with minced meat, complemented well by the chirimen cabbage. The "Charcoal-Grilled Kagoshima Kurobuta Pork Shoulder"... Served with spring vegetables like nanohana and fava beans. The meat was well-seasoned with salt, and a touch of grain mustard enhanced the flavor. For dessert, we had the "Citrus Jelly and Yogurt"... Accompanied by a crispy tuile for added texture and a delightful interplay of sweetness and acidity. I wish they had served the coffee along with the dessert, as it was a bit strong. Overall, the quality of the food was excellent. However, I felt that the service was a bit too impersonal, with minimal interaction from the staff. It would have been nice to have a bit more enjoyable atmosphere in the restaurant. Some people might like the cool and quiet ambiance, but personally, I think a little more warmth would have enhanced the dining experience.
