Anu

The food was good for the price but overall we weren’t captivated like we were at other restaurants in Japan. The dishes were ok but not memorable, maybe the final beef dish was the most memorable but still. We are English speakers and they started off trying to explain dishes which I appreciated but halfway through they gave up and I think stopped caring as much about making sure we were happy, maybe were a bit exhausted with our presence I’m not sure. 7/10 I don’t regret going but probably wouldn’t come back.

This was an outstanding experience. The craftsmanship of the dishes is remarkable. A surprising moment was the third course was onion cheesecake which was sweetened only by the caramelization of the onion. The service was extremely attentive and we enjoyed our interaction with them. The space is beautiful and the experience was intimate. The price was reasonable for such a fine quality experience.

Arancini & Zeppoline are ok, the pizza was too liquid !! I saw the "pizzaiola", how she was dealing with the ofen and I can assure you: in Italy you will NEVER work in this job ever.If you like real Italian food, this is not the place to go.

Anu is an excellent Italian restaurant with delicious food that's sure to satisfy. It's a great place to celebrate a birthday, offering a warm and festive atmosphere perfect for special occasions. Highly recommended for both the cuisine and the experience!

This is the best Italian-Japanese restaurant we have been in Osaka! Very cosy restaurant with delicious and refined dishes, with good wines selection. The restaurant manager was very friendly too!! Highly recommended!!

Beautiful and delicious. The wine paring is a must-do, one of my favorites in ages. Particularly appreciated the vegan meal prepared for my guest. We included his restrictions on our reservation request and did not hear back one way or the other, but when we arrived and the printed menus came out for each person they had a specialized one for him. From his feedback, it was very filling and tasty. They catered the wine paring separately as well, which was noticed and appreciated. Overall, wonderful place to celebrate. The “onion” course is beautifully undersold and highlight, but our group argued happily over which the best dish was and almost every one got a vote. Service was formal but also friendly and kind. None of us spoke Japanese and the staff made a very appreciated effort to work with our language barrier. Thanks so much to the restaurant!

The chef has a lot of passion and has so much potential, will love to see how he develops his cuisine in the future. The onion macaroon is amazing!

My partner and I visited Anu on our anniversary during our trip to Osaka. I work in the hospitality industry in America and have experienced some of the top Michelin rated restaurants in the world, and I can surely say that our dinner was sensational. The craftsmanship of each course right down to the quality of the ingredients were phenomenal. The chef and his team have presented a beautiful ever-changing, eleven-course experience that utilizes traditional Japanese ingredients to capture the delicious nostalgia of Italian cuisine. The service was impeccable in several regards, but the cherry on top was Chef Kadosaki bidding us farewell outside of the restaurant - a rare and incredibly special gesture. With time, exposure, and refinement, Anu is well on its way to earning a star.
