Kyoto, Japan｜RIGOLETTO SMOKE GRILL & BAR

Comfortable, classy and relaxing environment filled with attentive staff and accomplished cooks. While theatrical, my smoked whiskey was very well made and tasted great. The main pasta dishes were cooked excellently and with good ingredients. It's off the main street but make sure to go early so you can get a seat. Enjoy yourself in this great restaurant and bar!

What a welcoming restaurant! The staff was extremely friendly and provided an English menu. The shrimp ajillo, seasonal pizza and wagyu beef bolognese was to die for. 10/10

Absolutely delicious!! I had the pasta with prawn and leek and was impressed at how big and delicious the prawns were. The creamy tomato sauce paired really well with the leek (which wasn't strong tasting at all). The smoked tiramisu was also a great - who knew cashew nuts went so well together with tiramisu! Would definitely go back again if I was in the area for dinner or lunch. Not shown, but this place also has a very large wine by the bottle menu with prices from 5000 Yen upwards per bottle.
