Solid Italian in the heart of Hiroshima. We arrived about 7:30 on a holiday Sunday and were seated quickly at the counter facing the kitchen. Order bruschetta and two pizzas to share. Restaurant was lively, but service was attentive

Lovely restaurant and fantastic pizza! Staff were very friendly on entry, and the atmosphere is very cosy. Ordered a margarita which was delicious, all felt fresh and could see it cooking in the pizza oven nearby. Highly recommend to anyone visiting

There are many places that claim to be Neapolitan pizza, but there are very few that go the extra mile to become actually accredited to be true Neapolitan pizzerias! This is one of those places, and who would think to find one in Hiroshima! The Atmosphere of this restaurant is absolutely divine--immediately you feel like you have been transported into Italy itself, with the walls showing rustic stonework, the iconic Neapolitan Pizza oven cranking out pizzas and fresh breads, the rustic tables, the italian wallpapers, everything is intentionally designed and incredibly well done. While there is no English Menu, any pizza you choose will be a delight and an incredible masterclass in perfecting the simplistic. The crust has phenomenal chew to it, but is incredibly thin and perfectly toasted throughout. The sauces are impeccable in their simplicity--it tastes exactly like the ingredients without unnecessary boosters or artificial flavors. The olive oil bases are made with high quality olive oil, which cuts through the acidity of the sauce to balance out the sharpness of the thoroughly baked crust. Each bite feels light but incredibly satisfying, and is a treat and a joy to experience. As well, their Gelato is the high quality experience that you would expect from such a top-tiered restaurant. Their Gelatoria is two doors down from the main restaurant, so each order is literally hand-carried by the staff from their gelatoria to your plate! Each of their traditional flavors are potent, powerful, and exceptionally done. You will again forget that you're in Japan and not on the cobblestone streets of Italy! Exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff, amazing food and desserts, and an incredibly enjoyable experience! This is a much visit for anyone wanting a fantastic meal off the beaten path.
