Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan｜Toncino

Small humble Italian restaurant with great food. Limited seating, place gets filled up with locals really fast. Chef take his time to prepare the meal, so the food turns out great. Tradeoff will be long waiting time for those in queue, so beat the crowd by coming slightly earlier.

When we walked in, we were told "No pizza. Only pasta!" I was a little bummed, but honestly, I'm so glad we couldn't get pizza! They have an English menu, the waitress who served us spoke a little English (of course we don't expect English but it is always a plus when we go out). The coffee tasted amazing! I got the shrimp, spinach, garlic pasta and my husband got the below pictured salmon, spinach, and cream sauce. HIS WAS BETTER!! (Mine was great too, but the cream sauce on his was AMAZING.) Very friendly atmosphere. We will come back when we visit Hakone again! Thank you!

Dont believe that one star review below. This place is great! Delicious! Perfect for after the Hakone shrine. Affordable.👌🏼
