TRATTORIA FIRENZE SANTAMARIA Minamiaoyama — Restaurant in Tokyo

Outstanding lunch. Highly recommended.

Came for a work lunch, group of 6. The atmosphere would be great for casual meals or dates.

Choice of 5 or 6 pasta dishes, soup and focaccia.

All dishes were great. The soup was a chilled cucumber lime, it was great, especially for the season, it's getting hot. My choice was the pasta of the day, it was a great take of a tomato ragi with various meats. The flavors complemented each other well, Portion was generous, I rolled out of the restaurant beyond replete.

For 500 yen more an extra salad was available which offered fantastic takes on Italian starters but with a Japanese twist, like tempura fried zucchini. Heaven.

My lunch was 1500 yen, very happy with the price. Bargain for the quality, atmosphere and great food.

The food comes out slowly but we didn’t mind it at all - sometimes good food is best appreciated at...

Food was average. Pasta with clams was good but watery, needed a bit more olive oil to smooth out the pasta. Uni pasta was a disappointment- the pasta was essentially carbonara, however the butter and cheese overpowered the uni. Uni was overly seared, which had killed its natural taste. A disappointment ! Finally, the duck was too well cooked and roughened the meat. Overall, I rated this place for a 3 for average cuisine. Good for a meal, but don’t do this for a...
