Kobe, Hyogo, Japan｜RISTRATTORIA filo

Lovely Italian restaurant! All of the food presentations were so cute. We loved the pizzas the most. Something that unfortunately wasn't our favorite though was the pasta special (a plain spaghetti pasta with some chicken and edamame). Athough we were a large group of 7 coming into a small restaurant, the server was able to accommodate all of us and our needs including 2 of us being vegan! Would recommend :)

This is a small, unassuming restaurant, which makes the extremely well-executed food all the more surprising. We went for dinner after a long day at Suma beach across the road. The pasta was perfectly cooked in a delightfully nuanced peperoncino sauce with subtly roasted vegetables and garlic chips crisped to perfection. The pizza crust compared favorably with any pizza in NYC or Rome. (And we dipped any extra crust in the leftover peperoncino sauce to get every bit of the garlic!) The dessert, a panna cotta with fresh peach, was so good we ordered another one, and each was beautifully presented. Oh, and the wine was lovely. :-) Excellent food and excellent value. This is by far my favorite Italian restaurant in the area and we can’t wait to return.

Really liked it. The food is very well presented and tastes great. The staff are attentive. It's better to reserve since it gets busy around lunchtime.
