This powerful Italian restaurant opened back in the days when Sapporo had few Italian shops, and even has a wood fired oven imported from Italy itself.

The chef is particular about every detail from the flour, to the water, and even yeast, in creating authentic traditional Milanese style pizza with its particular crisp crust. It's popular for the woody aroma and savory wheat flavor. It has a strong regular clientele due to its focus on using seasonal Hokkaido ingredients.

It's tipped with colorful Yuzu peel, and the gentle aroma is enchanting.

The ramen comes with grilled pork strip. Not only is the ramen good, the pork strip is fantastic. Smells so good, taste much better. The price is also reasonable. My wife and I loved it. I would...
