Drammatico

A single house stands in a residential area, a short distance from the train station. Marked by a small sign that says [Drammatico], this is a community-based restaurant in Ogikubo loved by the local people for about 20 years now. The head chef, Chuya Shigeoka, describes his ideal for the restaurant as follows, "a restaurant that provides quality to people's daily lives rather than just for special occasions." Just as he says, people can enjoy a casual meal here without the need to be overly formal. The authentic taste and friendly atmosphere is what has attracted people's patronage for so many years. The restaurant serves fish selected by the chef personally on visits to the Tsukiji market, dynamically charcoal-grilled meat, exquisitely fresh vegetables supplied by farms nearby, and authentic dolce developed based on the chef's experiences working in Italy. The chef's choice course features plate after plate of dishes with a sense of power and urgency. The Italian cuisine leverages the unique character of the carefully-selected ingredients, and pairs wonderfully with wine. read more
