Nice Restaurant for lasagna?

Most local Italian restaurants don’t seem to serve it. Where are your recommendations in Tokyo?

  1. I can’t remember specifically which restaurant I’ve had it at, but I’ve had it at nicer than avg. Italian restaurants. Dean and DeLuca usually has 1-2 types for take out at Tokyo station.

    Wherever you find it be prepared to be underwhelmed by the portion size. I think I would have needed 3-4 portions to be full without other dishes (salad, meat, other pasta, etc.)…

  2. This place in Azabujuban:

    Cafe La Bohéme Azabu-Juban

    〒106-0045 Tokyo, Minato City, Azabujuban, 2 Chome−3−7 グリーンコート麻布十番

    Great atmosphere too!

  3. Not traditional lasagna, but parabola in Yoyogi is a small bistro that serves a good “deconstructed” lasagna of sorts.

  4. Lasagna Bar in Kashiwa is run by a really fun Italian guy and the lasagna is incredible.

  5. Ikea. The meat-free lasagna there is fantastic. I had two portions last week.

  6. I can’t personally speak to the quality of the place, as I’ve never been, but I have a friend who has been to this place in Koenji and says it was pretty good:

  7. I just make it at home if I want it. You can get the noodles for cheap at Gyomu. Just layer those noodles with tomato sauce, cheese, ground beef, spinach, or whatever you want. You can get a 100 yen casserole dish at Daiso.

  8. Va Tout in Roppongi down the road towards the Azabudai/Tokyo Tower side is a French place but their lasagne is quite popular and very reasonably priced at lunch time for the insane volume you get. Nice outdoor seating too for this time of year.

  9. Not a restaurant, but I’ve enjoyed the lasagna I’ve bought at Isetan. There’s usually 2-3 shops selling it on the food floor.

  10. Dean and Deluca straight up. They’re the only ones who make it like my mother did

  11. Mamma Luisa’s Table (near Shibuya).

    Small restaurant that seems to be opened and operated by a single Italian man. The lasagna I had was quite good. Most pasta and preparation seems to be done by him on the day in the restaurant.

  12. It’s funny how Italian food is generally so common and liked here but so many delicious, key dishes are basically unavailable.

    I am still trying to find a place that does handmade ravioli.

    Nah, spaghetti or any other kind of noodle pasta is all you get!

  13. Zannen. If you were in Osaka, I could hook you up with the most amazing Italian joint. Good luck!

  14. Letterpress in Tomigaya does an exceptional lasagna. Exceptional. But only as their lunchbox, and only once a week between Weds to Sat depending on when it is scheduled.

  15. Thanks for asking this! I’ve been looking for one and couldn’t find any so I decided to start making my own, but oh I’m not a great cook.
