The review is limited to 3 posts, but I have visited 4 times. The pizza I had for lunch on the third visit was not great. This is my first review for dinner, so I wanted to share my thoughts. I felt that the pizza at night had a stable high temperature in the oven, making it the best in Japan and possibly the world. A foreigner sitting next to me even agreed that it was better than Italian pizza. In my opinion, Italian pizza may not be the best. Overall, it's not as good as a place in Tokyo but better than il Pizzaiolo in Sendai. The pizza is almost on the same level. I prefer the classic pizza at this place over the unique pizza at another place. The aroma of wheat, the charred flavor, and the richness of the dough inside were excellent in the night pizza. The ingredients seemed better at night compared to lunch. It was crowded at night, unlike during the day. I forgot to take photos, but the carpaccio served was better than what I usually have. The cold pasta was not really cold, it could be better if it was cooler. The fried pizza was interesting but had too much flour. The filling inside was curry-flavored offal with a hint of lemon, which was refreshing. The pasta with firefly squid and rapeseed was well seasoned. The Miyazaki beef was cooked at a low temperature, but I prefer a bit more char on the surface. The sauce was a mix of red wine and soy sauce. The tempura with bamboo shoots was not as good as what I usually have at another place. The white asparagus with mayonnaise sauce was too hard and lacked flavor. The Margherita pizza was excellent. I recently learned how to make good pizza at home, inspired by this place. The dessert included hojicha ice cream, panna cotta with black honey, catarana, and cassata. I prefer a more diverse selection of desserts, so this platter was not very satisfying to me.

In March, we went to Kyoto. My husband finished work in the morning using flextime and took the Tohoku Shinkansen and Tokaido Shinkansen, while I joined from Shin-Yokohama. We arrived at Kyoto Station at 6:30 PM and decided to find a restaurant to eat based on our mood that day. After some discussion, we decided to call a restaurant in Gion that looked like a high-class club from the outside. The interior was amazing with a large wine cellar and private tables. We ordered a la carte dishes, including bruschetta, caprese, fried squid with ink sauce, buffalo mozzarella margherita, and a dessert platter. Everything from the bruschetta to the dessert was delicious and perfectly suited to our tastes. The total bill was around 17,000 yen. We both enjoyed the meal and would love to visit again soon.

Blog post, https://ameblo.jp/syenron1/entry-12729789858.html This is my third visit to the Saigoku Thirty-Three Pilgrimage, and I have come to Kyoto after a long time. First, I visited Imakumano Kannon-ji. Next is lunch. I entered a hidden gem of a restaurant in the alleyways of Gion, Kyoto. It is located opposite the Kanki Inari Shrine, known for fire prevention and business prosperity. Oh, where is the entrance... It is also hidden. In front of the store, there is a chalkboard menu. [est pizzeria e trattoria GION] Est Pizzeria Trattoria Gion opened in October 2020. I was seated right in front of the wine cellar (^^♪ Inside the entrance, there is a wood-fired oven, which is a nice touch. "The single plank counter allows you to enjoy the live cooking experience right in front of you." (From the website) The wine cellar, reaching a height of 3m to the ceiling, is impressive! From the entrance, I could see expensive wines lined up. In the cabinet next to it, there were beautiful wine glasses lined up. The lunch menu includes salad and a drink with three types of pizzas at different prices. A ¥3000, B ¥2600, C ¥2200. Drink choices are Blood Orange or Espresso Coffee. First, I was served a salad made from vegetables from the Ohara morning market at Tatsuru Farm. The vegetables were fresh, and the dressing was delicious! The wood-fired oven is a fantastic construction made with real marble cut and pasted. When I saw the flames in the oven... my excitement grew. The pizza must be delicious. The owner and chef, Ryo Higashihara, is a popular pizza craftsman who has worked in Naples, Tokyo, and Kyoto. He quickly cooked the pizza in the oven. The first pizza was Mozzarella-based Bulcinella. The owner often ate this pizza on the Ischian Island in the Gulf of Naples! Mozzarella, homemade ricotta, salsiccia, cherry tomatoes, pepper, basil. The baking of the dough was outstanding, and the generous toppings made it satisfying to eat. The spicy oil in a copper container added a nice kick. A new plate was brought out! I have been to many restaurants, but this was the second one where warm plates were served, which was wonderful. The second pizza was Poporo. Salami, olives, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, garlic, pepper, basil, Grana Padano. The crust was fluffy and chewy, typical of Neapolitan style. The salami was delicious - I wonder if it's homemade? I chose Espresso Coffee as my drink. On the wall, there is a display of the owner's career achievements! In 2019, he won the Japan representative selection competition in the U35 category and participated in the world competition in Naples! I was completely satisfied with the lunch! There are private rooms in the back, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant is fantastic! Next time, I would like to try the chef's dishes with recommended wines.

I was wandering around Gion when I stumbled upon an Italian restaurant. As soon as I opened the door, I was amazed by the stylish interior. If you come here on a date, your girlfriend will surely be impressed. The pasta and salad were both elegantly delicious. I want to come back for dinner next time and try more dishes. The oven-baked pizza is exceptional. Highly recommended.

I tried sour cream with tartar sauce and it was delicious. The salad had fruits in it, which was a nice touch. The pasta was excellent. I want to try the pizza next time.

The interior is very stylish. I was overwhelmed by the number of wines. All the meals were delicious. It is a wonderful restaurant that has won awards.

I heard that today Okazaki Park is bustling with a meat festival, so I decided to stop by. An event called "Kyoto Meat de Festival" is being held for two days from November 26th to 27th. Many shops were serving meat dishes. Among them, I visited an Italian restaurant. est pizzeria e trattoria GION is a popular restaurant in Gion, Kyoto, known for its authentic Neapolitan pizza baked in a wood-fired oven. At the event, you can enjoy the taste of such an authentic restaurant casually. I bought a Panino Trippa (tripe) sandwich because it looked delicious. It seems to be filled with tripe and lamb red dot in a special bun. The filling was piping hot, and I could smell the basil sauce. I enjoyed the chewy texture of the bun and the tender texture of the offal together. It was well stewed and had a good flavor. It was so delicious that I felt like having one more.
