28 Good Reasons to Dine
Imagine having a REAL Italian restaurant all for yourself. As in: no waiting lines, no suit at the next table monitoring your table manners, no waiting for the kitchen to get started with your order. You might feel like this dining at Ventotto, a relaxed chef-owned Italian restaurant. Don’t you feel better knowing that the person who owns the place is also the person behind the grill? The same person that visits the markets every morning to buy the best fruits and vegetables, the freshest fish, the catch of the day? And how about a restaurant that serves original creations, not just your everyday spaghetti Bolognese, but works of art made from hand-made pastas, with half-shell oysters, grilled tuna Sicilian style, beef piccata with lemon and a dream of a dessert? Or how about some lamb shank in red wine? Ventotto is also the right size to reserve exclusively for your next big shindig, like your next wedding anniversary, with space for up to 50 people. The list doesn’t end here as there are at least 28 good reasons to pay a visit to Ventotto, including a very reasonable ¥1500 lunch special of chicken Cacciatora (Hunter Style), a clever euphemism for chicken in tomato sauce with spaghetti, complete with salad, bread and coffee. Feel free to order in English, Italian or Japanese. Brushing up on your foreign-language skills, by the way, is reason #24.
In short, Ventotto (which stands for 28, the chef’s lucky number) is a gourmet’s paradise. And it’s conveniently located on the East side of Shibuya station along Meji dori towards Harajuku. Look for the World Sports Café, then go up a few steps to the second floor of the next building and let the numbers work their magic!
