Il Regalo — Restaurant in Kitashiobara

We had a lovely stay in this wonderful Italian albergo for 5 nights in February 2025. The location worked well for us, midway between several ski fields. ||Il Regalo is a delight, a small family-run hotel with 6 rooms above the restaurant, just like in Italy. The owner was so kind and helpful to us. In broken english he would recommend ski fields and sell us discounted lift tickets. He is also an absolute Italophile and the entire property is decked out in Italian ceramics and souvenirs. ||The Italian food and wine for dinner makes a great change and the breakfasts (included) were excellent - an offering of salad, fruit and yoghurt, a daily hot dish and pastries. ||We had a very large, comfortable corner bedroom with a nice view out the back of the property. The carpet was badly stained, otherwise the room was clean and serviced daily, Even the king bed sheets were changed daily! ||We stored our skis and dried our boots in front of a heater in the small foyer. The excessive snow was cleared from the carpark...

This place was AMAZING. We came after a hike and the owner was so nice! all the staff was amazing! And the food was spectacular. Our favorite was the waygu pasta, where the meat quite literally MELTED in our mouth. The espresso may have been the best i've had in quite a while, and all the desserts were 10/10. Definitely recommend the matcha panacada. If your in the area...
