Ristorante Mario

A wolf in sheep's clothing! Looks idyllic from the outside, however...almost empty and on a Thursday night. 500 yen cover pp. Asked for garlic bread and got chunks of unbaked bread with a tiny dish of olive oil, which was woefully insufficient for 3 diners. Risotto was a small portion and didn't justify the price tag. Tiramsu was the worst ever had and it wasn't authentic as no sponge and a biscuit base! Bizarre! The most expensive meal we have had, 14400 yen, having travelled fm Tokyo, Koyoto, Kobe, Osaka, Koyasan, Miyajima. Only chose this as right outside Peace museum and fancied a change from Japanese food. Wasn't overly impressed tbh!

Good food presentation although very small portions if you’re really hungry this is not the place. You’re basically eating nothing but noodles and hardly any vegetables or meat. if you’re in a time crunch don’t come. Waiting for a main meal dish is going to be over 30 minutes. Recommend this location add more meat to the meals

Lovely Italian place with very good food. Only down side was that the staff was uninterested towards the guests. We had Carpaccio and advocado with salmon as starter, waygu cheek and duck as main, panacotta and tiramisu as desert with coffee. It was a great meal.

Best Italian food we have had in Japan. Unassuming restaurant but top quality. I had salmon and avocado starter which had a beautiful blend of other ingredients to make it very tasty. Then a carbonara which was pretty authentic. And followed by a white chocolate mousse which was equally impressive. My first review of our trip after 9 days speaks for itself

Yummy!!! Immediately impressed! We arrived to this beautiful restaurant about 21 minutes before its afternoon closing; they still let us sit & dine 🍽. The pasta here is very good! I haven't been to Japan for a few years, and the standards have remained high. This restaurant is no exception. The servers here were phenomenal. The food and dessert, perfect. This made our afternoon! Thank you!!!

Wow, a 5 ++!! This little hidden gem across from Hiroshima Peace Park has the atmosphere, great personal service, and fantastic Italian dishes. We were there for lunch and sitting by the open window enjoying some beer and prosecco was so relaxing. The seafood was fresh and was so good with the pasta. I believe there maybe some handicap issues as bathroom is upstairs. Again, service was so personal and attentive. Prices for this area a place were reasonable too. If here, turn around and look between the trees to see this beautiful little restaurant. A must visit here in Hiroshima!!

4 stars for the location, ambiance and service at dinner. Appetizers were passable but I would expect a little more of a taste sensation for the prices (just under ¥1000 per appetizer). Wine selection was good and enjoyed a couple of different white wines. Finished with kind of Japanese style peperoncino pasta (not pictured) which was rather disappointing - may be the mullet row and the shrimps used just weren't for me and the sliced Japanese sansho pepper had a spicy kick that was quite overwhelming. I probably should stuck something more classic. Have enjoyed lunch here before

This is a the best Italian food I’ve ever eaten outside of Italy. The seafood carpaccio is worth getting on a plane and flying from Australia for. The Wagyu beef tail rigatoni is all time the most tender beef and so tasty. The desserts we had the cheesecake and the tiramisu the tiramisu was a 10/10 the cheesecake was an 8/10. O would highly recommend this place.
