Enjoy the best Italian food of the month at DODICI Ristorante in front of Kyoto City Hall
DODICI (Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture), located in the area in front of the Kyoto City Hall, a fierce battleground for Italian cuisine, is a ristorante of great ability that has been awarded a Michelin star for two consecutive years since 2023. The name "DODICI," which means the number "12" in Italian, is derived from the chef's wish for customers to enjoy his monthly specialties while making new discoveries.
The restaurant has a modern appearance that blends in with the serene streets of Goshonan, and once you step into the restaurant, you will find a gorgeous space that looks like a painting.
All dishes are examples of the 16,500 yen dinner course. Salsiccia Trapanese is pasta with a traditional sauce of almond and watercress paste and minced meat. While respecting traditional Italian flavors, the dish is made with Iwate Prefecture's Shirogane pork, adding a Japanese touch.
The chef, who moved to Italy at the age of 28 and trained at a Michelin-starred ristorante, has created a variety of exquisite dishes based on traditional Italian cuisine, but with a Japanese and Kyoto-inspired twist and playfulness that shines through everywhere.
Kenken Bonito Carpaccio. A dish that feels like early summer, with Komatsuna with fresh yuba leaves, layered with fermented tomatoes and meaty bonito, topped with granita in a ginger sauce to finish!
Aiming for the best hospitality in Kyoto, the restaurant offers first-class service and superb wine pairings. The manager, who is a certified sommelier in both Japan and Italy, will pair wines from approximately 400 varieties to suit your cuisine and tastes.
This pea potage is floated with refried fava beans and peas and finished with a homemade ricotta cheese and bacon sauce. White fish and onion fritters are melt-in-your-mouth and a perfect marriage with the creamy broth.
