Vinoteca
Quite possibly one of the hottest restaurants in the city at the time of writing, this inevitable crowd pleaser offers open-air dining overlooking the gardens of Tokyo Midtown. As these tables are some of the most in-demand seats in the capital, you would be wise to book in advance (in fact it's necessary) to ensure that you don't let down your better half.
Although true Italian connoisseurs may find fault in the slight Japan-isation of the menu, the food here is nevertheless spectacular, and the alfresco dining is arguably the city's best.

Canal Café
When summer evenings in the capital hang heavy with humidity, this is one of the rare spots in the city centre with breathing room, allowing you to enjoy a cold glass of white wine and a light meal by the water. The specialities are wood-fired thin-crust pizza, and Italian pasta such as scallop dishes and prawns in a light cream sauce, though the real reason you’re here is to savour a cocktail while soaking up the European atmosphere.

Taverna
Here are some reasons this cosy, Roman-inspired spot has been here forever: spaghetti all’amatriciana (with bacon and tomato sauce) or vongole (clams, olive oil and garlic), and pizza mista (with anchovy, tuna and prosciutto). Some people eat here every night, inspired by the authentic cuisine, the charm of the owner and reasonable prices.

Eataly
In this neighbourhood – in this city – that worships all things Italian, airy, rambling Eataly is one-stop shopping: trattoria, bakery, espresso bar, salumeria, cheese shop, wine shop and outdoor cafe. Even the shopping carts are so cute that you’ll want to pinch their little shopping-cart cheeks.
