Tucked away on the edge of the Shōunji temple grounds to the west of the Hiroo shōtengai, this recently opened osteria and wine bar delivers reasonably priced Italian cuisine in a cosy, counter-dining setting.

Owner and sommelier Akatsu Tatsuro’s menu comprises upgradable prix-fixe lunch courses, a la carte options and daily specials, ranging from fresh grilled fish and Hokkaido beef to roasted game birds served with seasonal vegetables.

Desserts are simple yet accomplished, such as the moreishly sour Basque-style cheesecake with accompanying pinch of salt and pepper.
