An unassuming place located smack in the heart of the land of cafes, Jiyūgaoka. The place is a bit cramped – as to be expected in Tokyo – but it doesn't feel crowded. The first floor has counter seats, and the second has table seats. The staff were prompt and accommodating.
We ordered the staples: margherita, rucola, and quattro formaggio. I'm not sure if they have an English menu, but staff were patient enough as we tried to go through it.

If in a group, we will order appetizers but they tend to be small so if going in a pair we like to do 3 pizzas. The atmosphere on the ground floor is nicer than the second floor. They play Italian radio (which can be a bit loud...
