Falò — Restaurant in Tokyo

I stumbled upon this place and could not be any happier I did. The food is outstanding and overall this is a very special place. It's tucked away on the fourth floor of an office building but feels like it's a hidden gem miles away. The amuse I received was a pickled mackerel drizzled with EVOO and tried herbs and seeds and was the first wonderful surprise. I started with my server's recommendation of warm smoked/habichi-grilled eel with Yuzu vinaigrette and chives - phenomenal! This was followed by a big stalk of white asparagus with a Bolzano sauce - delicious! The spaghetti with crispy mushrooms in an anchovy sauce could not have been any better. As you sit at a counter you can watch the food being prepared and I saw some amazing items being served that I would love to try if I ever get a chance to go back. The wines offered fit the menu well and the server was very competent and kind. The price level is very fair given the quality and generous servings. All in all a wonderful experience and I thank the...

Great Japanese Italian food in a cool atmosphere with an open kitchen and charcoal grill. Service was excellent and almost every dish we had was delicious. There's a 300 yen per person table charge that comes with a tasting of their gazpacho. My wife and I ordered the corn pana cotta with sea urchin, squid ink rice croquettes, grilled mackerel (sanma), lasagna, grilled lamb, Genovese pasta, and bread. The bread we got was a little burnt and the pasta tasted a little different from the pesto we're used to but was cooked perfectly al dente. Every other dish was amazing. My wife, who typically doesn't like mackerel, found that fish to be very good too. We got the zabaione ice cream for dessert which was OK. Overall, we had a great experience and would come back.

We also came by on a Wednesday night at 7:30 PM without reservations and they were able to seat us without any problems. There were 8 other diners that night and I think the restaurant...

A unique experience unlike any I’ve had. They welcomed us with a translated menu that had all the chef recommendations, including the salmon roe toast and venison with mushrooms (both pictured). We also tried the duck, and it was superb (and a little on the spicy side, which was a pleasant surprise). watching them prepare and assemble artful meals is a mesmerizing experience, especially when all sorts of meat are marinated over the coals and you get to see the cooking process.

We also tried the milk gelato for dessert and it tasted just like Hokkaido milk ice cream, except the texture was much creamier.

Definitely give them a try, but call to make a...
