Tarantella da Luigi (Location:Shirokane)

The last restaurant presented will be a pizzeria located towards Shirokane. It is called “Tarantella da Luigi”. 

The pizzas are homemade in front of the customer where you can see the owner making the dough, putting the topping, etc.  

Before the main course, you will have the right to taste small Italian appetizers made by the owner. However, be careful, they are not free and are counted separately. 

You will have pizzas with tomato sauce or with cream. The choice is yours. 

Of course, there are not only pizzas but also pasta and other rare Italian dishes. 

However, the owner has studied pizza in Italy and has won a few prizes, we advise you to taste the pizzas that are worth it.
