ricetta8.7

Ricetta8.7 occupies a 100-year-old machiya in Kyoto and serves creative Italian dishes made with Japanese ingredients and gibier. The chef accepts ten guests per day and prepares a seasonal course at the counter, where the cooking is visible as it happens. Cream is used sparingly so the ingredients' flavors stay distinct, and the handmade fresh pasta is springy. Guests remove their shoes before entering, and reservations require a party of at least two, so solo diners cannot visit.
