Al Mulon — Restaurant in Tokyo

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food in Tokyo, you should definitely check out Al mulon in Hatagaya.

In my opinion, it’s just as good, if not better, than Elio Locanda Italiana in Hanzomon, but at half the price! The restaurant is run by a Japanese chef who trained in Florence and his beautiful wife, who’s from the Trieste region. They both speak English and Italian, and their wine selection is fun and unique. The atmosphere is more laid-back and comfortable compared to Elio, which I really appreciate. I’m surprised it hasn’t gained more attention yet. While it’s nearly impossible to get a reservation on weekends, Fridays are a hidden gem—there are often tables available. If you’re after real Italian food made with high-quality ingredients, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

My husband, our puppy, and I love it so much that we literally go at least once a week. It’s THAT good! Yes, you can bring your puppy too! How...

This place is a spectacular gem of a restaurant, with outstanding and unusual Trieste Italian cuisine at reasonable prices, with gorgeous wines to accompany it. Owned by Taka and his partner Francesca, who is from Trieste, this place is a rare authentic trattoria, and in my favorite neighborhood in Tokyo, no less. Try the beet risotto or cut your own fresh prosciutto. Their gnocchi is also fantastic, as are their salads and really absolutely everything on the menu. The desserts were exquisite too. The chef can also cook steak Florentine, since he trained in Tuscany, if you book in advance. I highly recommend Al Muron and am only telling the world about it because I want this restaurant to succeed in business and stick around! Otherwise I’d keep this...

Visited for the first time after reading a recommendation on Reddit. Colorful, casual, non-pretentious dining area with smallish tables spaced comfortably apart from one another.

There are photos of everything we ordered, and each dish was excellent. Presentation, texture, flavor: everything was nicely done.

The wine list is lengthy and consists exclusively of Italian wines, many from up north in the Friuli and Alto Adige regions. We had a Friulano, a Schiava (very light red), and a Sella Mosca cannonau. The prices were reasonable, with none of the wines costing more than ¥6000.

Overall very happy with experience! A bit off the beaten path (for me anyway) but definitely...
