My husband and I were craving something other than Japanese food and found this place. What a gem! The proprietor did everything, waiting, preparing from scratch, cooking and bartending. It was fantastic, we had a Caprese salad and pizza from a wood stove. To make things more difficult he had 2 Italian groups of customers, and by the time we left, a full house. I can say that it is some of the quickest and most pleasant service we have had and a great meal too. It's a bit off the beaten track but worth it, highly recommended.

We are so glad we came here. Some of our group were looking for something a bit "western" to eat. It was a really lovely night. Very spacious, comfortable, good staff. And best of all, the pasta was so delicious...but the pizza YUM...they were really really good. We even got to drink wine...we really really liked it here.

We decided to go to this restaurant in Takayama based on its wonderful reviews. We rang and made a booking and then we decided to walk there from the station. unfortunately there were 2 number 26s on the map that the Tourist Information Bureau at the station gve us. So after some searching we found some very helpful people, and in the end one lady actually drove us there.the restaurant was a surprise. They had opened up jut for us, there were no other customers. We sat at the bar and watched the chef make us dinner. It was fabulous. the Antipasto was great, the Beef Cheeks in Red Wine delectable and my husband's pasta simply fabulous. lovely chianti too.The owner spoke little English but got better at it as the evening progressed.It was a great little restaurant no we had a fabulous time. Highly recommended.

Happened upon this lovely restaurant by chance. What a wonderful chance! Sitting at the bar and watching the chef prepare our spaghetti carbonara and mushroom with chicken risotto was theatre itself. The food was delicious. Following this amazing meal we were entertained by the owners' dear little baby who is definitely learning the family business at an early age. Do yourself a favour when in Takayama and eat here. You won't be disappointed.
5. Boccabuona

We stayed in Takayama for 4 nights and ate at Bocca Buona 3 times! The staff were lovely, so friendly and attentive. They helped me out in reading the Japanese/Italian specials on the blackboard. Everything we ate was fantastic. We had 3 different pizza and 2 different spaghetti dishes. They were all faultless. I'd recommend eating at the bar near the chefs, where you can see all the action - even pizza dough tossing! The pizzas were probably the best we've eaten anywhere and it was great that we were the only Westerners in the restaurant on each of the 3 occasions. It is extremely popular with the local Japanese people. Thank you for the wonderful service we received and the beautiful food!
