Etto

Etto was an unforgettable dining experience and arguably one of the best meals of my life. We were greeted at the door and shown to our 2 of the 8 seats that allow you an up front viewing to the chefs. Each dish was carefully prepared in front of you and we were provided with an explanation of the dish, its ingredients, and how to eat the dish. There was some language barriers as they explained the dish but they were very accommodating and used Google translate for some of the more complicated dishes. We chose to do the optional wine pairing which included a glass of wine selected specifically to compliment each dish. The wines were fantastic and each had a generous pour. During the meal we were able to speak with the chefs and get to know them better which added to the overall experience. This is a must try restaurant when you are in Kyoto.

Had an unforgettable dining experience at Etto. We weren't sure what to expect, but we were truly blown away by each Italian-Japanese dish and the exceptional service that was provided. Each dish was meticulously prepared in front of you, then was presented to each guest with an explanation on what the dish consists of and how the dish was meant to be eaten. The chefs were courteous and friendly, and it was obvious that they truly enjoy their craft. I will definitely come back to Etto every time I'm in Kyoto. I've already recommended it to my friends and family as a must-go restaurant in Kyoto. I'm so glad this new restaurant is getting the recognition that it deserves with it's recent feature in the Michelin guide!

The best experience/meal we had while in Japan. Food was unique and flavorful. Service top-notch. Overall a memorable dinner that not only do I highly recommend, but one that I'd love to return to.

This was hands down an amazing experience of culinary skills with a service level that made you feel like the Chef was your friend. I would highly recommend this place!

Amazing, one of the best meals of my life, and such a nice team too. Went for me and my wife’s anniversary and would definitely go again!

An amazing Italian restaurant led by a young, dynamic chef. The open kitchen adds a vibrant touch, with every dish artfully plated right before your eyes.

There is my life before dinner at Etto and after dinner at Etto. Everything I put in my mouth made me a better human.

OPENしてまだ1年余りというのに評判高い創作イタリアン, 実家の丸太町近くで、こんなところがあったのかと思う小さな路地の奥にひっそりとETTO と書かれてた。 炭黒の大きなカウンターに並んで座り、目の前には炭火とオープンキッチン、イケメンの若い気鋭の辰巳シェフが見事な手捌きで説明してくれながら、次々に出されるお料理が、なんとも独創的だけどどれも美しくそして美味しい。創作洋食は、特に食材の組み合わせがシェフのセンスの見せ所だけど、久しぶりに食べながらワクワクするコース料理だった。1コースのみだけど、価格以上のお値打ち感が十分ある。 家族５人横並びはどうかと思ったけれども、ショーのように次々と創り出されるお料理とシェフの丁寧な手捌きを見てるだけでも楽しい 鮎とフェンネルのクレーシャは、くるっと巻かれてシェフから「どうぞ」と手で出された。ライブ感が見事。味も繊細で大胆 コースのバランスはとても良いのだけど、炭水化物が多めだから女性と年寄りには結構ボリューム感があり、最後の甘鯛ズッパは量と味がちょっと重たく感じたかな？ ワインのセレクションもよし。 高いだけで味は普通のオシャレな店とは格が違う予感の新店で、次のコースも必ず食べに行きます！
