From Visitor Reviews
A one star Italian restaurant on the 40th floor of the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, run under the supervision of chef Niko Romito. The concept is authentic yet contemporary, focusing on extracting the essence of ingredients, vegetable soup prepared without added water, and tomato flavours pushed to concentration in spaghetti pomodoro.
