Taverna il Viale — Restaurant in Kyoto

To start with lovely location, right across the Nijo station, can't be missed. The guys serving/tending and the cook were good and polite. The Atmos inside is that of a friendly neighborhood joint. Now, the flipside. Ordered a Carbonara in white/cheese sauce, less chesse/sauce for my taste. Could have lived with that but the meat in it could be counted on fingers even though it was kind of shredded. Major put off. They charged me 300 yen for bread service which was just 1 small, tiny bit of piece and that too neither warm nor served with olive oil/butter till i asked for. Took a red wine which might be the only saving grace. Will skip the restaurant if I have other options. Honestly not worth 3000+ yen when you asked a tourist can steal a bomb from 7-11 eleven across the road. I know different cuisine, unrelated comparison but it's about worth for money...

i cannot BELIEVE this place is not viral. i’m a very picky person and it’s extremely rare for me to come to a place and !! LOVE !! every single thing i buy (even bread or drinks as simple as juice)

we just finished 2 plates of pasta, 3 drinks and we are already thinking about coming back here tonight

all 3 chefs are amazing the food is 100000/10 (i’m saying as a person who has been to Italy more than 20 times and constantly eats italian cuisine)

the vibes of the place itself are immaculate the staff is really nice and professional

the whole dining felt like...

Right next to the Nijo Station. This restaurant was small (seating for maybe 12 people tops). The location is great. We were staying at the Moxy Hotel so only a 1min walk down.

The quality always excellent. We sat at the bar and watched our meals get prepared from scratch. Looks to be ran by two guys in their 30’s. The quality was wonderful. Perfect portions. It was quiet so great place to debrief after a long day of traveling and...
