Italian restaurant • Japan, 〒153-0063 Tokyo, Meguro City, Meguro, 1-chōme−4−６ 弥生ビル
A meeting of Tokyo's old-town charm with sophisticated Italian cuisine. Spajiro Gonnozaka, a charming and renowned restaurant, is within walking distance from Meguro Station.
Opening the door, a space filled with Japanese aromas and flavors unfolds before you. Warm tea and dashi are served, heightening the anticipation for the meal. The signature dish of this restaurant is Japanese-style pasta eaten with chopsticks. The spaghetti is seasoned with Japanese flavors, and the amount of noodles can be chosen from S to XL, which is one of its popular reasons.
Among the top-ranked dishes is kama-age style pasta. The rich meat sauce is savory, and the more noodles you have, the more satisfying it becomes. Some dishes respect Italian traditions while resembling yakisoba. All of them can be enjoyed with chopsticks, adding to the fun.
Prices range from 1,300 yen to 1,600 yen, which is relatively reasonable. Adding various toppings is another highlight. This not only prevents monotony but also allows you to customize your order. For example, vongole uses other seafood besides clams, which adds to the restaurant's charm.
Gonnozaka is a place where the old-town and sophistication meet. Eating Italian cuisine with chopsticks will surely be a surprising and refreshing experience.
