Barchetta — Restaurant in Kyoto

We had the BEST time here. First, the food was amazing. The chef/ owner really did not miss a beat. The linguine bolognese was amazing but so was everything else. The wines are very good and they have you guess what the country and varietal are, if you want, which was fun. After the chef finished cooking, he sat down and played a half hour set at the piano and he is GOOD. All in all, an unexpected and lovely evening and all for under $50/ person.

Our server spoke good English and was adorable. ...

Tasty food and generous pasta serving size. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Menu is in Japanese. Good vegetarian options.

However, they have a rule where you have to order a drink with your meal and the non-alcoholic drinks were a bit overpriced, e.g. 600 yen for orange juice (store bought). Would not be an issue for people who intend to drink anyway.

Also as other reviews have mentioned, the staff were not wearing masks which is unusual for Japan and may make some people feel...

Hit and miss i would say. Nice wine , the service was good one day, but next day was not that good. Prices are very high. Paid 12 english pounds for very very small amount of cheese. Large beer is 330 ml, how come is...
