Italian restaurant • Japan, 〒142-0051 Tokyo, Shinagawa City, Hiratsuka, 2-chōme−18−３ ファミール串田 2F
When you walk through the backstreets of Shinagawa, you'll find a Western-style restaurant in a somewhat hard-to-find location. On the second floor, the Italian bistro 'Formaggio!!' is waiting. As you climb the stairs, you'll feel enveloped in an atmosphere that makes you feel like you've stepped into a small bistro in the real heart of Italy.
Upon entering the restaurant, the staff will put on a performance of handling cheese at the counter. Explaining the types of cheese, their origins, and the level of aging, they skillfully slice the cheese with a knife, almost like an art form. While it whets the appetite, it also conveys the love and pride for the cheese.
During lunchtime, there are reasonably priced set menus starting from 990 yen. The set includes a choice of pizza, pasta, or a bowl of meat or fish, accompanied by a salad, drink, and dessert. It's a delightful offering where even a single person can easily stop by and enjoy a meal.
On Fridays, there is a special offer of two drinks, with craft beer and Italian wine being an excellent fit. In the evening, it's recommended to spend a leisurely time with a partner or friends.
Knowing that it's located upstairs above a Western-style restaurant may initially cause some uneasiness. However, once you step inside, those doubts will surely be dispelled. A quiet hideaway in the backstreets where you can encounter the original flavors and passionate atmosphere. Why not fully enjoy the luxurious Italian time while appreciating the cheese performance?
