TRATTOLIA　Italia

I didn't take a picture of our pizza or our fries, but in a sea of personal fans that Tokyo seems highly intrigued by, this has certainly been one of the brightest spots. The restaurant reminds you of a cute old world restaurant so feels like you momentarily have been transported out of Tokyo. The servers were all quite friendly and accommodating. I would remove a half star for no kids menu nor proper baby high chair(like there was no bar restraint so it was quite literally a high chair) but the pizza keeps the stars high enough that a 5 is still warranted. We had a Margarita, Beone and a Capriccio and all were delish. We also got some fries for Josh, also delish. The Nero I had to drink was yummy as well if not a bit chilled but no matter, I would have ordered another had the baby not been over it. All in all, solid evening out in an inviting delicious space.

Trattoria Italia is a great place to eat at Green Court area nearby our Tokyo home. I've been here half a dozen times over the years but have not yet written a review. I'm glad this place has staying power because I keep wanting to go back. The menu seems to change a little over time, nothing wrong with that and I actually appreciate it other than when I wanted their fontina fondue and it was not available at that point. Pizzas are great, salads are always on point as well as the pasta. Wine and good Italian beer are also on offer and I'm usually enjoying a beer with the meal. Great attentive staff. I always wait to hear from my family that they want to come here because I know it is going to be a great time.

From today's meal: The 4 cheese pizza surprised my kids for having gorgonzola inside - one kid loved it the other didn't. My salami & asparagus pizza was great of the two pastas we had the carbonara was by far the winner - a creamy version with thick pancetta strips.

Arigato!
