Best places: Italian restaurants in Kyoto, Japan

👍👍 So surprised that there’s such an authentic pizzeria in Arashiyama 🧡🙌 the owner is actually Italian. We got the monthly special pizza and finished it within 5 min. Highly recommend!

👍👍 I really enjoyed the great variety of vegan options. The vegan fried fish patty was delicious and had a nice texture. My highlights, however, were the vegan chocolate cake and the curried hummus that is served as an appetizer. Staff are very friendly and the overall experience was great - Would def...

👍👍 Thank you so much Yuki for welcoming us into your restaurant. Not only the food was absolutely perfect but also the service was impeccable. I’ve lived in Italy for half a year and we have been on vacation there so many times. The food from Chef Yuki was exceptional and of very high quality. I wish...

👍👍 Great pizza! As good as Da ISA and Seirinkan in Tokyo. Our Italian foodie friend (ciao bella!) loved this place too. We shared three pies: a normal margherita, the buffalo margherita, and the sausage & friarielli (broccoli rabe) pizza. Nice crispy, but chewy crust with just the right char. The buffa...

Acclaimed bi-level restaurant offering innovative Italian & Asian dishes, plus a serene courtyard.

Italian cuisine with a sophisticated Japanese spin served in atmospheric leafy grounds.

👍👍 I’m just writing a review to cancel out Lily’s one-star review, who clearly didn’t appreciate the difference between standard pizza and Neopolitan pizza. This pizza was even better than the pizza I had in Naples. Super fresh and tasty. I even finished my crust which I usually hand off to my partner....

👍👍 Awesome staff, so friendly even though we don't speak Japanese. Has an English menu and dining here requires you pay 400 yen table charge per person (which gets you a seat and complimentary salad - table charge is standard in Izakayas but 400 yen each is a bit high, but worth every cent once we tast...

Stylish restaurant housed in a former dye shop, serving wood-fired pizza & seasonal vegetable sides.

😠 The service is so bad , I came here on March 18 at 3:30 pm , the staff looked down on me when I was wearing casual clothes but I was ready to spend big money here . They let me sit at a table next to the toilet while those traveling with 2 people were allowed to sit at another bigger, nicer table wh...

👍👍 Great cute little Italian spot in Kyoto, with amazing pasta! It transports you to a different age. Its a shame they didn't have pizzas available when we went.. they looked amazing in photos. Also wanted to call out the red wine, so good. Highly recommend!

Cozy kitchen & bar offering karaage chicken & other Japanese grub, plus Italian fare in the evening.

👍👍 Lovely nested in northern Kyoto this excellent Italian restaurant serves one of the best pasta and pizza specialities for more than 30 years Extremely popular in the neighborhood Superb choice of wines Service is welcoming and friendly

👍👍 Be entertained for at least 3 hours by Chef’s 20-small-dishes multi-course dinner which was visually appealing and engage your palate with different flavours and texture with local seasonal produce. Wine-pairing essential to complete overall dimension of the feast. Ambience is minimalist white so...

👍👍 平日ランチ時間帯に行きました。ランチの時間でもアラカルトメニューも選べました。季節限定のお料理もすごく美味しくて 心も胃袋も満たされました。店員さんも親切丁寧で 店内も落ち着いた雰囲気で 自分達の休日を満喫できました。フラッと気軽に利用できるのが嬉しいです。 ビール好きなので 行きましたが 周りには コー...

👍👍 The food there is very wonderful; we kept comparing other restaurants to the excellent quality of service we received at Collabo! The atmosphere was so relaxing and peaceful, the staff were very attentive and very kind, the food was exceptional (I mean, it was gooooooood!!!) And the prices were more...

👍👍 Exceptionally good. Very attentive staff. Enjoyable 'well paced lunch' Our thanks reach out to Luca of IL Restaurante Bvlgari Ginza as he recommended we try here whilst on our frequent trips to Kyoto ( we have not been before as usually we've satisfied our hankering for Italian food in Tokyo ) As...

Laid-back restaurant & bar furnishing familiar Italian dishes in a narrow space.

😠 It used to be crowded, but is it temporarily closed now? It is a selfish business style that I do not understand well. I have the impression that the quality of the food is much lower than before. To be honest, both Italian and Taiwanese food are half-baked. It's a pity that the owner has become a...

👍👍 Everything is so amazing. Since the first step you're into this place. Very colorful atmosphere, cozy music and food is excellent! All foods have been created by the chef who's very experienced. And the chef can speak English very well. 😊
