trattoria sette — Restaurant in Kyoto

Had dinner at the restaurant tonight and it was very enjoyable. The restaurant environment itself was relaxing and cool, looking out the large (and very clean) windows, we even saw a cute cat walking around outside. The food was excellent and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Great selection of Italian wines and our daughter had an 'Arnold Palmer' as her drink which she highly recommends. Pasta, pizza, etc, everything was great, an easy place for families or picky children. We got a second serve of bread which was very nice (and no trouble) and when our daughter got tiramisu for dessert, she was asked if she wanted more, just out of kindness. Our server was Nanae, she's great! Super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend - our highlight...

We really enjoyed eating here, enough to come back a second time! We were served both times by Maari, who was delightful. She had good suggestions, was extremely friendly, and a great server.

The restaurant seemed pretty busy, but they were able to accommodate us without reservations both times.

The food here is really good. We ate off of both the prix fixe and a ala carte menus, and I'd highly recommend either. The bread that comes on the side is delicious as well.

Wine selection is nice - good, authentic Italian wines that pair with the food...

I had the roast beef appetizer along with the crab tagliatelle. The appetizer was pretty good, I thought all the elements of the dish went well with each other and the roast beef was nicely thinly sliced. The pasta was fine, but it was a little bland. There was a good amount of crab meat and asparagus to pair with the pasta, but I wish I tasted more flavor from the sauce.

The service was great up until I finished my meal and wanted to get the bill, then I was sitting and waiting for quite a while until a server finally passed by me so that I could...
