Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan｜イルファボーレ IL FAVORE

Delightful Italian restaurant servicing authentic Italian food at a very reasonable price! Akatsuki-san the chef lived in Italy previously and speaks English fluently. He was very kind and catered to my dietary needs (I told him only vegetarian or pescatarian dishes with no alcohol ingredients and he suggested many options so this restaurant is halal friendly). I’ve ordered farmer’s pasta, spicy fish/clam pasta and margarita pizza. All tasted amazing and very fresh!

I'm a regular here and their truffle cheese risotto is the best I've had, makes me keep coming back for more!! The chef makes the risotto specially from scratch with konbu/shiitake (read veggie) stock instead of the usual chicken stock as my family is vegetarian, can't thank him enough for this 😇 The chef cum owner is very friendly and accommodates any request for customization if he has the necessary ingredients.

This place is fabulous. Great food. Best restaurant in the Sagamiono area. I know food and I love food. They have San Pellegrino water. Great salads, and the risotto is heavenly. Also the pasta pescatore is fantastic. Finally, I could not resist the dessert although I never have one. Incredible! If you are in the area don't go to rip off places in Odakyu or Bono. Try this one. If you are into wine they also have a decent selection to choose from.
