MK Guide Recommends
LA BETTOLA da Ochiai is a pioneer of casual fine dining in Tokyo, known for demystifying Italian cuisine without compromising on depth or elegance. Opened by Chef Tsutomu Ochiai—one of Japan’s most recognizable names in Italian cooking—the restaurant has become a rite of passage for pasta lovers and a staple of Ginza’s culinary scene. The compact space is snug and always in demand, offering set-course menus that walk diners through antipasti, seasonal pasta dishes, and desserts that lean more rustic than refined. Despite its fame, the tone remains warm and grounded, with flavors that prioritize soul over flash. Securing a reservation here is a small triumph of its own.
