Trattoria Casa Verde — Restaurant in Kyoto

What can I say about a place where the heart of the owner is so sincere and sends you off with warm, well wishes that made your own heart swell. One man show, perfectly executed food, impressive presentation, charming atmosphere, and friendly service. He was so accommodating to foreigners. We noticed most places didn't really want outsiders, nor were they friendly. This place welcomed us with a smile. The caprese salad was best we ever had. Yes, that includes Italy. Seasoned just right. The pizza is really, really good. Do yourself a favor and order the large. We regretted getting the smaller one. The crust was perfect. The texture on the pasta was perfect! It was a very memorable experience. Thank you so...

Great find and super tasty.

A small welcoming corner store with a delightful chef. There wasn’t a single customer when we arrived after 8:30pm. He welcomed us, set the tables and took our order. We ate warmed olives with toasted bread, which were delicious. My truffle and porcini fettuccine was exceptional, in fact each of our meals was very good. Serving size was decent and the service was professional and friendly....

Quaint Italian restaurant tucked away in the inner streets, run by the owner who serves you and is also the chef.

What’s more incredible is that the owner has only been to Italy once and then trained under an Italian Chef in Japan. Must try if you’re in the area and need a switch up from traditional...
