PIZZERIA TRATTORIA MAGAZZINO
The pizza here is prepared true to how it’s done in Naples, with chef Hironori Noda reproducing those authentic flavours. What Naples has that Nara doesn’t is an ocean so, in response, he came up with the idea of a restaurant that’s all about the fields. He grows the vegetables himself and makes them the main ingredients. The garden is his mother’s, and he harvests the vegetables himself, meaning that the bounty of Kashiba proffered here truly springs from ‘Mother Earth’.
TripAdvisor review sample · 3.7/5 · 80 reviews
Located in Minato, this trattoria specializes in Italian cuisine and wood-fired pizza. Positive reviews highlight fresh pasta, authentic flavors, and excellent desserts like tiramisu, with some noting good lunch value. The outdoor terrace offers park views, ideal for cherry blossom season. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent service, including slow response, poor seating arrangements (e.g., direct sun exposure without shade), and unhelpful staff. Long-term patrons report declining quality and management changes. While food generally receives praise, the dining experience varies significantly based on timing and service attitude. Visitors are advised to check terrace conditions and consider off-peak hours.
Suitable for diners seeking authentic Italian flavors who can tolerate service variability; visit during off-peak hours and verify terrace shading.
