First visit to this cute Italian restaurant with a focus on Southern Italian home cooking. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The menu isn't very extensive, but they offer seasonal dishes using natural ingredients whenever possible. The dishes are all delicious, even though some of the names are unfamiliar. The appetizer set was made with fresh vegetables and each dish was well seasoned and visually appealing. The pasta was cooked perfectly, with just the right thickness and a nice chewy texture. The cutlet was thick and juicy, unlike the thin ones I've had before. I couldn't resist ordering a second one. The cheese dishes paired well with vegetables and olive oil. I had a ginger ale since I was driving, but others seemed to enjoy the wine selection, which focuses on natural wines that complement the food. They also had Spanish sherry available. The chef has a quirky personality, but he was engaging and fun to talk to.

It was my first visit, and I really enjoyed the recommended appetizers. The paella was included in the appetizers and I almost got full just from that. I like the simple pasta with sheep cheese and black pepper. Sometimes I crave for cheese and black pepper pasta. This was good.

Today, I went out for drinks with my colleagues in Fushimi Momoyama. For the second round, we came to Trattoria Invito, an Italian restaurant with a stylish exterior and interior, run by a master and one server. After having some food at the first place, I felt like having red wine, so I ordered a full-bodied bottle which was delicious! We ordered a mixed appetizer, a salad with mozzarella, and the main dish, bisteca. All the dishes were delicious, especially the salad with balsamic vinegar that complemented the cheese well. The bisteca, which is Italian steak, was seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked rare, and it was also very tasty! The wine kept flowing, and the master was very friendly, making it a truly enjoyable time. Although it was a quick visit, I look forward to coming back and enjoying more delicious food at a leisurely pace. Thank you for the wonderful meal! #TrattoriaInvito #Italian #StylishItalian #Gourmet #ItalianFood #InstaWorthy #DeliciousItalian #Kyoto #Bisteca #GourmetKyoto #Japan #ItalianCuisine

I went on a whim in the evening. It was the third day of the new location opening. The interior was indeed cute. I ordered the Antipasto Misto for 1100 yen. It consisted of charcoal-grilled eggplant, fried horse mackerel, omelette, turnips, coppa with pig ears, etc. It was a classic Italian dish without trendy ingredients like raw beets, and it was delicious. The organic wine was also excellent. Next, I tried the Carrettiera (pasta with tomato sauce) for 1500 yen. It had a generous amount of tomato sauce with a hint of garlic. It was cooked perfectly al dente. I enjoyed it very much. The restaurant was packed during the opening rush. I will visit again when it's more settled.

Panini set (limited quantity) for 1100 yen. The panini and minestrone soup were both delicious and satisfying. The soup was hot and full of vegetables, perfect for warming up. The panini was also tasty and filling.
