There’s a glorious Italian-Japanese restaurant in Yotsuya, just across the intersection from the JR station where a Pope Francis billboard stands over the traffic. Down a nostalgic shopping street and parallel from a soul food institution, you’ll find a door leading into the Tuscan countryside. As you climb the staircase, candles flicker and the wallpaper dissolves into rustic brick, signaling your entry into pasta paradise.
At Oliva-va, indulgence becomes a private affair.
Hospitality reminiscent of Italy greets you, with staff offering detailed explanations for each decadent level of it’s many courses. Shelves of wine line the cozy interior, adding an air of authenticity. The space captures the warmth of an Italian osteria, while the boisterous and good-spirited chef—his joy audible from the kitchen—channels years of experience earned in Italy’s heartland. His enthusiasm brings smiles to diners as he prepares meals that rise far above the standard fare.
