Il Ponentino — Restaurant in Tokyo

Last minute random dinner booking that I have come to regret as it was a horrible waste of calories.

6000 yen course which was the only thing available and cheap for Ginza dinner set standard but the whole course is prolly worth only 1000 yen.

The steak was dry and tough. Nuff said.

Desert - brownie that I took a bite and gave up + cheap black tea worse than dilmah.

If you want an authentic Italian dining experience in the heart of Ginza, please visit Il Ponentino! This is the best Italian dining experience I have had outside of my time in Italy.

The dolce (dessert) was heavenly and consisted of tiramisu, custard, and rum baba. Everything was delicious and perfectly presented. The next time I visit Ginza, I will certainly visit this Italian gem in the heart of bustling Ginza. My family had such a great time at Il...

It’s quite pleasant surprise to find this restaurant. Walked by the other day and found its reservation only. Hotel I stayed help to make and it’s straight forward.

Each works beautifully with dishes we ordered. After main courses we also have desserts and coffee. Best part is we only pay 9900 yen and it’s unbelievable with the quality provided. We are coming back later this month and surely must come back to...
