PRONTO - Wanza Ariake — Restaurant in Tokyo

【東京ビッグサイトの静かな裏庭】

Tucked just a short walk from Tokyo Big Sight, PRONTO offered a surprisingly peaceful retreat for a midday business meeting. I arrived early and ordered a simple plate of spaghetti—nothing fancy, but satisfying in that exacting way that only a quiet carb moment before a meeting can be.

What truly sets this PRONTO apart is its generous outdoor seating. Unlike the often cramped and frenetic cafés near the convention center, here you’ll find space to breathe—and to talk. The larger tables outside are ideal for casual meetings, especially on a warm day when the sea breeze rolls through Ariake.

Service was prompt and unobtrusive, just as it should be when you’re reviewing slides or prepping small talk. While the food won’t win awards, it doesn’t need to—it delivers exactly what it promises, with calm efficiency.

For those who find Big Sight’s bustle a bit much, this place is a clever, quiet alternative.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) (Simple but well-executed food, perfect outdoor setting for business, excellent location)
