Best Italian

Italian restaurants in Ginza divide between high end establishments that blend Japanese precision with European technique and more accessible trattorias that maintain their neighborhood warmth despite premium real estate prices. At Faro, perched on the 10th floor of the Shiseido Building, chefs plate innovative pasta using Japanese tableware and seasonal local ingredients, while Termini operates from a basement wine cellar atmosphere serving classic Amatriciana Bucatini and lamb cutlets with Marsala sauce. The neighborhood's counter focused dining culture shapes even casual spots like LA BETTOLA da Ochiai, where diners watch chefs prepare bottarga spaghetti from intimate seats. Budget conscious visitors can find all you-can eat bread at cucina del NABUCCO, though most Italian dining here commands the premium typical of Ginza's polished restaurant scene.
