Nakano City, Tokyo, Japan｜Legare

This 5 star is based purely on food and service. I always prefer a place that has a variety of wine by the glass. However, there single glass selection wasn't bad. They have plenty of wine by the bottle. App (actually ordered it twice it was so good) was tomato, mozzarella and pesto...AMAZING! Rigatoni for main...best I've ever had bar none. I've traveled the world and had pasta in every corner. This little hole in the wall, single chef, back alley place was a gem of a find. I contemplated not going in because of no English menu. I decided what the hell... Thanks to Google translate. If you are in the Higashi Nakano area of Tokyo give it a whirl. This one was memorable for me.

A very nice place. I like the half chicken.

I discovered this while walking with my partner thinking about what to have for dinner. We were just talking about trying Italian food, so I went in without thinking🇮🇹 Then, you got it right. All dishes were delicious. Since we're Italian, we'd like to go with wine, but neither of us are good at drinking, so we excuse ourselves with a cocktail... ・Peach oolong (stable taste) ・Raw peach orange (it doesn't have a peach flavor, but it contains fresh orange and is carbonated, so it's delicious) I ordered. Ordering a drink first will make the process go more smoothly. (The clerk asked about drinks first.) I wanted to eat all the dishes, but I chose carefully. ・Grilled Toro Binchou and vegetables ・Octopus Ajillo ・Avocado and steamed chicken salad ・Margherita ・4 kinds of cheese Quattro Formaggi Everything was delicious. My favorite among them is This is Ahijo, a nice octopus ♡ The atmosphere, customer service, and food were all great. I would also like to try other dishes.
