Trattoria Mari e Monti — Restaurant in Tokyo

I had my wife's surprise birthday party here last night and it was an absolute blast. Attractive and modern decor, with an open kitchen and bar that stretches the length of the restaurant, and of course the warm and welcoming presence of Luca, owner and manager - all come together to make this a great choice for a party or an intimate romantic dinner. For this occasion Luca worked with me over 4 weeks to put together a mouthwatering menu of food and drink that more than satisfied our group of 20, and at a very reasonable price for the quality and service. Our grand menu consisted of: Caprese, Calamari Fritti, Mixed Salad, the most popular Pappardelle with Crab Meat and Tomato Cream Sauce, their famous Risotto alla Parmigiana, Grilled Seafood Platter with sides of Spinach and Roasted Potatoes, and a dessert platter of Tiramisu, Vanilla Meringue Cake, and Pistachio Mille Feuille. With lots of wine, San Pellegrino, coffee and tea, and Luca's incredible Limoncello digestivo, it all came in under 10,000 yen per person - amazing! Thank you so much to Luca and his expert staff for helping put together an unforgettable party and culinary experience for my...

Tried Mari e Monti for the first time last night. A very enjoyable meal. Nice menu, good wine selection, and reasonable prices.

Mimo, one of the owners, shared some of his Japan experiences with us. He’s been here for over 20 years and knows the Italian restaurant business quite well.

Not open for lunch; dinner only.

My friend’s, and my, wife found it a bit salty and they do use a little more salt than we use at home. So, if any recommendation at all, it would be to cut back on the salt just a bit. But, again, the food was very tasty and full flavored and I especially liked the home made sausage with my orecchiette pasta.

Portions are big enough for sharing. We ordered two appetizers, one pasta, and one main. If you’re a big eater you can always add more.

Excellent service and a very...

The most authentic Italian cuisine and experience I've had in months! Phenomenal robust fare that is rich in flavors, but not too heavy on the stomach. Their burrata was fresh and creamy, their calamari crisp on the outside but tender on the inside, their parmesan risotto to die for. Most people also order steaks there, but the pork chops are tender and juicy as well. Oh, and save room for dessert! Their trifle is sublime. Service is friendly and cheery. The timing that they bring each course is also perfect; not too fast or slow. They clearly keep an eye on each table, and wait for everyone to finish their food before bringing out the next dish. The broad wine selection also has something for everyone. It's a very expat centric scene, but no worries. They have both Italian and...
