This is a well-known Italian restaurant that needs no introduction. One of its appealing features is the relatively affordable a la carte menu, which allows you to decide on the spot.Here’s what I had:- Chilled Cappellini with Sea Urchin - Wagyu Cheek Carpaccio - Hairy Crab and Chanterelle Mushroom Chawanmushi - Grilled Sweetfish Scales with Red Rice Risotto - Summer Truffle Omelette - Tender Chicken Fritters - Lemon Garlic Butter Pasta - Peperoncino Carbonara - Kamo Eggplant Amatriciana...

An Italian restaurant where you can enjoy your meal at the counter! Every dish I tried was incredibly delicious, and the seasoning was just perfect.Not only the taste but also the prices are fantastic at this place.The dish I found most delicious was the uni capellini! This is definitely a must-try.I usually don’t eat dessert, but I was curious about the roll cake and decided to try it, and it was perfect.It was a great meal!

I visited this restaurant with my partner for a date in Nakameguro. It's a completely referral-based establishment, and reservations are not accepted. The restaurant is about an 8-minute walk from Nakameguro Station.We ordered the cold cappellini with sea urchin, burrata with peach, lobster chawanmushi, truffle omelet, lemon garlic butter cheese pasta, sea urchin tomato cream pasta, and for dessert, a pistachio roll cake.Among these, the cold cappellini was a standout dish, featuring a rich genovese...

Megriva in NakameguroWhen it comes to Italian cuisine in Nakameguro, this is the place to go! I want to visit at least once a month.Despite its originality, a recipe book has recently been published, so now you can enjoy Megriva-style dishes at home!On this day, I tried the uni capellini and porcini omelette with some first-time members.The pasta was, as always, delicious, and I wished I could have tried a few more dishes, but I was too full to manage!A must-visit spot for pasta lovers. I'm hungry!... More

I was truly impressed by each dish that showcased the delicate flavors and high-quality ingredients typical of Italian cuisine. From appetizers to desserts, the meticulous preparation was evident, especially in the exquisite Genovese topped with luxurious sea urchin, where the rich sweetness harmonized perfectly with the refreshing aroma of basil—truly a signature dish of this restaurant. The carpaccio highlighted the fresh meat's umami, enhanced by arugula and cheese, while the fish dish featured... More

Located just a few minutes' walk from Nakameguro Station, this incredibly hard-to-book restaurant offers creative Italian cuisine that highlights seasonal ingredients. ✨ I was thrilled to join a private event hosted by regulars at a place I had long admired! The first course, cold capellini with sea urchin and pesto, was a perfect balance of the rich sweetness of the sea urchin and the refreshing flavor of the pesto. The chilled noodles paired beautifully, making a stunning impression right from... More

I was invited to another private reservation as a regular customer!!I got to relive the wonderful experience from my last visit!!This Italian bistro is not only delicious but also has an amazing atmosphere!!The food was, of course, fantastic, and this time the dessert was different.

I had the opportunity to visit the long-awaited "megriva" in Nakameguro for a private reservation! This time, I indulged in a pairing course, which was a luxurious experience. I actually purchased a recipe book in advance to prepare myself (a little pre-study and simulation!), and it turned out to be a great decision. Seeing the dishes I had read about in the book right in front of me allowed me to directly experience the chef's skills and flavors, which amplified my excitement tremendously! The... More

There is an amazing Italian restaurant in Nakameguro with 10 counter seats. It’s a place that values its regular customers, who have been making reservations for years. Dishes are served only once, and any finished plates are left on the table. Wine is served by the bottle, and since it’s a wine-focused establishment, those who don’t drink are generally not welcome. The food is simply outstanding and delicious!

I find myself coming back here time and again. Chef Yoshida's dishes are simply delicious! They have a warmth that feels just right, not overly polished. This Italian cuisine is so good that you might not get tired of it even if you eat it every day. From the moment you take a bite, the flavors blend perfectly with your body. The restaurant operates with just one chef serving 12 to 13 guests. It's best to plan for at least three hours to enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace.You can choose from the... More

4.3This was my first visit.I dined here using a course menu.The standout dish for me was the pasta with sakura shrimp and 'nduja. The aroma of the sakura shrimp was incredibly strong, and the combination of the spiciness and umami from the 'nduja kept it enjoyable until the last bite. It was my favorite dish of the day.The Florentine-style tripe stew was also good. It had a rich flavor without being too heavy, and I enjoyed the variation in taste with the accompanying sauce.The pasta with shirasu... More

Rumor has it that only regulars can secure a reservation at megriva.I had been looking forward to this and finally visited for a girls' party.The interior consists solely of a counter, and Yoshida-san manages everything by himself. Food orders are taken only once, while drinks can be ordered at any time. The bill is settled all at once.The menu is a la carte, but it seems that prices are not listed, even for drinks.Since I can't drink wine, the five women in our group opened a bottle and enjoyed...

This place is extremely popular and hard to get a reservation at.It was my first visit since attending a private event here.This time, we ordered a la carte.Since there was only one person serving, all the dishes started at the same time.From the first dish, the cold uni capellini, everything was delicious. There was also a great selection of wines, which was fantastic.I look forward to my next visit!

A must-visit Italian restaurant in Nakameguro, known for its exquisite dishes, but reservations are not available for newcomers—you can only go if a regular takes you.

jumped at the chance to visit this italian restaurant which has been on my bucket list since i began exploring food in japan. initially attracted by their famed roll cake, their other savoury dishes i also thoroughly enjoyed.
started with their refreshing pear and burrata, followed by their signature chilled uni cappelleni, in a light herbal dressing which was so so good especially with the chewy noodles. following was an offmenu lobster salad before their signature omelette and this round... More

Great food, grumpy Chef. This is the only way to describe this place. One man show in a very casual settting. Some of the dishes are extraordinary, like his version of tripe. Served in a sour soup it has the best texture and taste I have ever had. Similarly great was the veal heart. Excellent food, and the Chef comes as side show.
