Trattoria Terzina — Restaurant in Sapporo

I have been their customer such a long years… maybe over 20 years or more. The chef’s friend Mr.WADA is my father’s friend and we arrived here when this restaurant was around Moiwa mountain for the first time.

Chef Horikawa is creating such a comfortable relaxing dining and his meal is always good, never had anything “?” Dish. His each dish makes me feel like “ home, sweet home”. Cozy and heals my body and mental.

This restaurant location now is middle of the Sapporo town, you can see people keep come and go from the second floor with nice meals.

I was a high school student when I visited his restaurant long years ago and now I’m married and about to get into the middle aged. And coming here with my hubby and chef’s hair is getting be white.

There are tons of new restaurants are born everyday and they will be gone so fast in several years. So getting be hard to find great place for long time nowadays.

This place is not for the tourist who seeks joy of moment. I want people come to here for aging...

Trattoria Terzina is located close to odori park. It is just a few minutes walk from the station. I was there on Sunday evening and I could be seated immediately without reservation. The staffs were very friendly. We ordered one salad as the staff kindly reminded us two maybe a bit too much for two of us. We also ordered a spaghetti and a risotto as main. The staff also suggested us to divide the dishes for us as we would like to share. Prices of the dishes were reasonable and food were delicious and authentic. I would highly recommend anyone to try. Their menu was Japanese only so if you cant read Japanese, I suggest you to use Google...

Amazing Italian food using local ingredients.

We went for lunch, my wife and I mostly ordered from the daily specials (unlike main menu, specials only in Japanese so used google translate). Every dish was great - trout, venison lasagne, a simple but lovely chicken pasta, beautifully cooked duck breast. Short but good wine list to go with...
