MR.MAURICE'S ITALIAN

Based on the traditional Italian-American home cooking "Red Sauce Italian" brought to America by Italian immigrants, we offer dishes that have been modernly arranged with refined ingredients and techniques. Our signatures are pizzas whose dough is aged for four days and baked in a wood-fired oven, and homemade fresh pasta made from carefully selected varieties of wheat. We actively use Kyoto vegetables such as Kujo scallions, Shogoin daikon, and Manganji peppers, and offer seasonal plates like domestic beef tagliata and firefly squid pasta.

Located on the third floor of Shinpukan inside Ace Hotel Kyoto, this open restaurant consists of 96 indoor seats and a 74-seat rooftop bar. The space is filled with art in every detail: partitions created by California artists, tables and chairs by a Japanese woodworking artist, and lampshades made by Kyoto craftsmen. With a casual yet stylish atmosphere playing American rock, dogs are also allowed on the rooftop.

On June 11, 2020, it opened to coincide with the opening of Ace Hotel Kyoto in Shinpuhkan, a complex facility created by renovating a historic building. Under a concept overseen by popular Italian chef Mark Vetri, highly acclaimed in New York and Philadelphia, it brought a new breeze to Kyoto's food culture as an American-Italian osteria. Making the most of its excellent location directly connected to Karasuma Oike Station, it continues to attract a wide range of diners from Japan and abroad.
