Pizza Salvatore Cuomo & Bar Shinjuku — Restaurant in Tokyo

Came here craving other than Japanese food. There were a lot of people who had got off work so it was busy on a Wednesday night. It’s located in the basement of an office building. The inside is nice and spacious and they have a double height space that looks out to the plaza above.

We ordered a la carte dinner dishes. We read reviews about a buffet being served but that wasn’t our experience. Maybe for lunch. The servers were really nice, even with their limited English.

We ordered red sangria (10/10) which were sweet and had very little alcohol, iced cold Asahi draft, and a house wine.

The pizza tho was delicious, especially the crust. We skipped dessert because we were full.

Their salads and pasta selection are very good and their staff is just lovely. And you may get a free sparkling wine depending on type of reservation 🥂 Been there already many times and always find it great quality,...

Decided to grab some Italian food after a long hot day walking around Tokyo. Chose this place on a whim as it’s close to our hotel, but we were more than pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food here. We ordered two pizzas - classic margherita and the rucola / ham pizza, and both were fantastic. Perfect char on the crust and the toppings were exactly right. Also ordered a caprese salad, which had extraordinary tomatoes and perfect mozzarella. Gelato for dessert -outstanding! Prices were reasonable for Tokyo and the atmosphere is lively without being over the top. True Italian in Japan is hard to find, but this place fits the bill. Worth a visit if you’re...
