A perfect Italian restaurant I have not had in a long time.
Giancarlo is located in Iikura-Katamachi, the best view point of Tokyo Tower and home to many famous restaurants.
This is the restaurant of Chef Ozone, the first Japanese chef to win the Naples Pizza Italia Cup held in Italy.
He has been in Italy for 7 years, training in several cities in Piedmont, Milan, Rome, Florence, and Naples for one year each.
The pizza is baked in an oven imported from Naples, and is better than the pizza we had in Naples, and is so good that we don't think we will ever have another Neapolitan pizza in Japan.
I told the chef that it was great that a Japanese won the first place, and he said that he had won the second place several times, but he really wanted to win the first place, so he tried again after returning to Japan and won.
For the main course, we chose the herb-roasted lobster and Kumamoto beef steak from the basket of dishes shown to us.
Simple Italian cuisine, everyone's favorite taste.
The service was excellent, with the chef himself coming to the table several times to explain the menu with a person who had been at the famous Italian restaurant Piccolo Grande in Juban for a long time.
And considering the quality, the price is surprisingly reasonable.
The terrace is heated and dog-friendly.
It is even better that you can buy pudding at Chianti on the way to Iikura-Katamachi after you leave the restaurant.
I will be going back again in the future.
Addictive pizza!
I had heard of this place but never had a chance to visit it, so this was my first time! The pizza is very tasty and addictive. I went for lunch this time, but I would definitely like to go for dinner next time. As was the case with lunch, there is quite a long line, so reservations are a must.
It's sticky and light!
Pizza dough can be thick when it's sticky or thin when it's light, but this dough is light and yet chunky. The dough here is light, yet firm. It's exquisite!
We were at the counter, and they were working right in front of us. His workmanship is beautiful.
The flow of his work is beautiful and enchanting. I have never seen a pizza maker like this before!
He puts it in the oven and bakes it instantly. I can't get enough of it. When you put it in your mouth, it's hot and fluffy, light and chewy.
I finished one slice in the blink of an eye. I had to stop before I went to the second piece because I had another one coming up.
I was a little disappointed with the iced tiramisu. I prefer tiramisu not iced.
Well, that's just my preference...
It's a little small and everything, but I like the stuffy feeling, so it was OK for me personally.
