   Everything was perfect from beginning to end. That was exactly what you would expect from a high end restaurant. Almost every dish was a surprise with really unexpected blends of taste and ingrédients, and the staff is just great, friendly, and very professional. Bravo to Il Ristorante !!!

   Such a fantastic venue coupled with incredibly superb food. I think this is on par with the other higher Michelin restaurants in Tokyo, and is a definite must visit when here.

   Luca Fantin is not only one of the best cooks in Asia, his whole team is really outstanding. It makes a dinner in Il Ristorante each time an unforgettable experience. An obligatory stop when in Tokyo.

   Very high quality service and the food was phenomenal, we had a 10 course set menu to Celebrate Luca's 10 years and it was 10 signature dishes pertaining to each year. The presentation was an artwork, a master piece, and very delicate in terms of the presentation and the explosion of flavour in your mouth. The wait staff were very knowledgable about the history of each dish and also which part of Japan the food was sourced from. The decor is exquisite, from the crockery to the interior design, it was an amazing night in order to celebrate my birthday! This place is high end for special occasions or dining of a higher standard. The only suggestion is that the staff outside the lift / reception need to mind their manners, yes, the venue has a strict dress code, but we were not impressed by the stare down from the reception staff (the european/italian girl)- we've dined in exclusive places all over the world, Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, New York, Los Angeles, London, Sydney, Melbourne and Buenos Aires and never received that sort of reception, its unwarranted and unwelcoming, that individual needs to focus on their non verbal communication skills and focus on refining her manners as its rude to stare at people particularly up and down. Otherwise everything was great.

   Beautiful Michelin restaurant located in the glamourous Ginza Bulgari building. A huge black crystal serpent decorated the exterior of the building. Luca Fantin is celebrating ten years of operating his restaurant by presenting his favorite dishes through the years. Dining room is quiet and pleasant. We sat by a window facing the main busy street and found people watching very fascinating. Opted for Prix Fixe 7-course lunch menu. Started off with the Minestrone Soup which consisted of seven different root vegetables cooked separately. Each vegetable comes in their own color and all were round-cut like a ball the size of a dime. So the soup bowl contains a palette of colorful round bites. Each vegetable has its own taste and interesting flavor. Next came the Aoriika Squid and Cauliflower with squid ink. Vivid presentation of sliced white cauliflower arranged next to the splashed black squid ink. Quite a contrast, very picturesque and reminds me of an abstract painting! Next dish comes the Spaghetti with Sea Urchin which is a favorite of my husband's. He savors it. Another of my husband's absolute favorite was the Risotto with the truffle supplement..creamy and hearty. Our waiter sliced over 40 slices of truffle onto our risotto..created a wonderful aroma. We were surprised by the generous amount of truffle shaved onto our risotto. Not a fan of the Essence of Carrot course. It reminded me of dried reconstituted carrot. Here comes the Fish and Ikura course. Red fish eggs pile on top of white fish filet placed on a pool of the dark green Spanish cilantro sauce in a deep bowl..perfectly and beautifully presented in vibrant contrasting colors. Next was the Beef and Onion dish. Rectangular cut beef is served rare with beef juice..flavorful and tasty. Dessert of Latte Milk Composition with granita and gelato placed in a small glass fish bowl was refreshing. Every course was timed and executed well. Several amuse bouche included in between courses. Servers were professional.

   Grande esperienza culinaria. Prezzo molto alto, ma credo un regalo a noi stessi possiamo farcelo ogni tanto. Qualità e sapori di livello altissimo

    I have been to other co-branded restaurants like Chanel and Shiseido but Luca Fantin should name the top of my list. I have already recommended my friends to book.
