Tarantella da Luigi (Shirogane, Tokyo) – Italian Seasonal Cooking

Tarantella da Luigi (タランテッラダルイジ ) in Shirogane (near Shirogane Takanawa station) is one of my favourite neighbourhood restaurants in Minato-ku. Despite its location tucked away off the little Shirgane shopping street, it is constantly full. The patrons who come to Tarantella da Luigi, Shirogane with babies and little ones are welcomed with open arms. Let your little one enjoy the pizza and pasta, while you enjoy the lunch or dinner set menus which include a wonderful appetiser plate, warm bread, a main, pasta and coffee. The ala carte menu is always available but I highly recommend the set menus since the chef is alway searching for the best in season ingredients to incorporate into his dishes.

Tarantella da Luigi, Shirogane

My husband, baby and I had a delightful lunch the other day where the special lunch menu was a huge appetiser plate which I did not finish since I was anxiously awaiting the roasted chicken over saffron risotto, clam linguini and pork with sweet potatoes. Baby’s main staple is the margarita pizza, but that is only one of the pizza offered from their pizza menu with over 20 types of pizza. We relaxed (yes with a three year old) for two hours enjoying wine and wonderful food.

The restaurant also has a private room which can accommodate about 20 people for private parties.
