The story
LA BOTTEGAIA brings a distinctly Italian sensibility to the heart of Tokyo. The kitchen works with seasonal ingredients sourced from across Japan, cooking them with care and serving them as simply as possible. The result is Italian cuisine that highlights the natural flavours of each ingredient, paired with a thoughtful selection of natural wines.
The restaurant occupies a small space in Higashi Ginza, a short walk from the main Ginza thoroughfare. It’s an intimate setting designed for unhurried evenings – the kind of place where you can share a bottle of wine and a meal with someone important. Dinner service runs from 17:00 to 21:30 (last order), with the kitchen closing at 23:00. The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
LA BOTTEGAIA’s commitment to quality and simplicity has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, a fitting recognition for a restaurant that lets the ingredients speak for themselves. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Italian cuisine or simply looking for a quiet, well-executed meal in Ginza, this is a spot worth seeking out.
