The dishes incorporate Japanese flavors while focusing on Italian cuisine. From appetizers to pasta, everything was delicious, especially the pizza, which left a lasting impression. The whole wheat crust was baked in a wood-fired oven; while the crust wasn't thin, it was light and didn't linger afterwards. The atmosphere and service in the restaurant were also excellent, making for an enjoyable experience until the end. It was a great meal.
