クルクル — Restaurant in Amami

Wow, what an amazing experience at this cozy restaurant on the beach.

The first time, my cousin brought me to this lovely restaurant. I had a pasta set which came with your choice of pasta, salad, and beverage. I tried eggplant puttanesca. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the eggplant was perfectly cooked, too. Every bite felt like all the fresh local ingredients were dancing waltz. Their latte was really good, too.

The second time, I brought my mom, my brother & nephew. They all loved their pasta and pizza. Their thin crust pizza was one of the best I’ve ever had! It was so delicious that I even forgot to take photos…!

The staff were very personable. We were seated at the table that didn’t have the direct ocean view but there were a couple of tables with the ocean view, even seating outside. The decor was tasteful and I feel like this spot is perfect for any occasions. It’s definitely Amani’s hidden gem. Reservation is a must to make sure you have a table.

One thing to note, the parking and the restaurant are both easy to miss but if you look for an open lot a few properties down, you will find the parking. There is a clothing store facing the street but on their right is a few stairs that leads to the restaurant. It’s not ADA friendly… the price is on higher end for Amami but for people like us from the US, it’s really reasonable! Maybe for dinner, it’s more expensive but I feel like it’s worth every penny!

They weren’t serving wine during lunch but I would love to visit again for dinner so that I can ask them to pair a nice glass of wine. Hopefully, when I visit...

The restaurant is highly recommended, I happened to stop by and asked for a table for one. Unfortunately, everything was already reserved. Having already given up hope, I went towards the beach to look for an alternative, when one of the two guys came up to me and said that someone had canceled and he could offer me a table. I was delighted and spent the evening enjoying the authentic Italian food, with a private touch, with an excellent red wine. Recommended, be sure to make reservations in advance. The restaurant is run by two guys who cook, serve and make their guests...

One of our favourite cafes anywhere! Run by great people using fresh and interesting local ingredients. You can reliably get an excellent caffe latte here, and the pizzas are great. We usually get the lunch set. Food can sometimes be a bit salty for me. The interior, location, view and ambiance...
