QUINTO — Restaurant in Tokyo

Lovely place, great service and the food was delicious and generous. But there were a few things that bothered me and had it not been for them, I would rate this place 5 stars: The pasta was not salted properly! The sauce was great and the pasta was al dente, but it wasn’t salted enough. This is a very basic mistake so it was a huge turn off for me. The tiramisu was by far the biggest letdown. It was very obvious that it was made in the moment we asked for it, and I could tell because it basically had no structure and the cookies were dry and hard… Please, tiramisu is a pre-made dessert :( I was really looking forward to it but ended up so disappointed.

Of course I would like to say that the lasagna, focaccia and pork were extremely delicious! And we were very happy to see that the prices weren’t too high either, so we got a great meal and didn’t spend so much. But those basic mistakes kind of disappointed us. I hope the owner/manager/head chef can read this and take it into consideration. I don’t mean to offend anyone but I wanted to say this because this place is amazing and if you could fix those issues, then it would turn out to be a 5 star...

Stumbled upon this restaurant while exploring Shinjuku, upon entering we found the atmosphere extremely boojee but interesting.

The atmosphere was a good wake up call, we walked in to find a restaurant full of couples (no issue with this) on-top of this the vibe / aesthetic was amazing.

The food was okay, I personally ordered a pasta. The pasta felt underwhelming at best. It was as if I had bought a packet of pasta and tomato sauce and cooked them at home. The sauce was a bit bland and the pasta was slightly undercooked.

The portion sizes for the ¥1210 was okay for the type of restaurant it is.

We also came to find out when paying that we were charged about ¥550 per person as a table charge (not indicated at entry)

Overall taking into consideration that there are cheaper more palatable alternatives nearby, I would not recommend the restaurant, unless it is for the atmosphere of the restaurant...

Avoid if possible particularly if you can’t speak Japanese. Very basic food which you could make easily at home. We felt ok initially for the prices as they were reasonable . However they charged extra $30 USD for 4 of us as table charge which they never mentioned anywhere. All we had was two very small plates of pastas - veg and one half chicken and totally had to pay $90. They couldn’t make us even chicken pasta and billed so much. Servings were so small. We visited so many countries and also so many restaurants in Japan and never had charges for table . Pure scam!! Food was ok and ambience / tables definitely not worth...
