filo — Restaurant in Tokyo

Discovered this small Italian fusion restaurant last year and it has become my go to place whenever I am in Tokyo. I have been there 5 times and the menu was different each time my husband and I visited. Impeccable service from the 3 ladies working there. The female chef is from Okinawa who uses seasonal produce. She is always thoughtful and will split portion into two when she knows that we are sharing. Though the staff can't really speak English, we were still able to get by without difficulties. They are always friendly and accommodating. Ambience is cozy and warm. Food is excellent and we had always enjoyed it whenever we are there. Filo is open for dinner only. Some Sundays and Mondays are closed. Kindly check the opening hours on Instagram. Do make reservations especially...

While we arrived without a reservation, the staff were beyond helpful setting us up on the terrace with blankets and a heater.

Menus are all in japanese only (not unexpected) but staff put their limited English to great use and all went well.

Would love to try again, though we'll aim for inside next time, particularly in 9...

We love the food and cozy atmosphere!! The restaurant are managed by three young and vibrant ladies that make a wonderful dining experience that we would love coming back every time we visit Tokyo. It's been five times in the last year or so. The chef prepares and cooks openly with her heart. The best fusion Italian food that we ever had, based on seasonal ingredients that the chef would source out and create a dish that's unique. Like an Onion Panna Cotta topped with Sea Urchin. Menu would be changed regularly with each dish being unique from Appetisers to Mains...
