Salivating media coverage, Tabelog awards and a loyal fan base have made reservations at this secluded sister shop to Ebisu’s Restorante Da Babbo hard to come by. When fortune smiles, be sure to request a seat at the counter overlooking the kitchen to avoid being perched precariously at one of the narrow shelves lining the dining space.
The pared down chic of the interior has a pleasant intimacy accentuated by the warm, faintly smoky aroma emanating from the irori grills and firewood stacked above the counter.
Rodeo’s menu consists of a variety of wood-grilled Italian cuisine with a focus on moreish antipasti, (somewhat ungenerous) grilled meats, seasonal vegetables and pastas; the caciocavallo bruschetta and renowned spaghetti topped with juicy mashed hamburger in meat sauce are worth the visit alone.
