Moved from the temporary store in Omotesando to a new location in Aoyama Ichome, Donciccho is now open! The previous store in Omotesando was already delicious, but the new Aoyama location is even more spacious and open! I visited shortly after the opening, and even on a weekday, it was packed with a lovely atmosphere. I sat at the counter and enjoyed white asparagus appetizer, carpaccio, tomato-based mussel pasta, lamb meat short pasta, and tried their cutlet for the first time. The seasonal white asparagus was tender and delicious, the carpaccio was as reliable as always, and both pasta dishes I ordered were different but equally delicious. The lamb meat short pasta had a unique chewy texture that I enjoyed. The cutlet was surprisingly large, but the crispy texture and juiciness made it irresistibly tasty. For dessert, I had the amaou strawberry tiramisu, which was just as amazing as I remembered. The wine selection, guided by the sommelier, complemented the meal perfectly. I definitely want to visit this restaurant again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The taste exceeded all expectations. The staff were friendly and kind, making it a comfortable place to be. The customers were stylish and well-mannered, with a more mature age group than younger people. It feels like a hidden gem where adults can relax and enjoy a drink.

I visited this restaurant for the first time for my birthday dinner. I had a reservation for 8:00 pm, and the place was always full during my stay. Despite that, the service was attentive, and I was guided on the portion sizes and recommended dishes, which made for a very satisfying experience. The atmosphere was lively and not uncomfortable at all, but it may not be suitable for a quiet dinner.

This time, I revisited the restaurant for a friend's birthday. It's a place I would love to come back to anytime. I always have the tripe, which I forgot to take a picture of this time, but it was delicious as always! The spaghetti with clams, pistachios, and lemon was also refreshing and tasty for the summer.

Moved to Aoyama Ichome and this was my second visit already. I have always loved this restaurant. Whenever I go, I think "Ah, delicious!" and "I want to come back soon." This time, I went with a friend after watching a play, around 9 pm at the counter seats. The staff at the restaurant give great advice on the ideal number of dishes based on your appetite. Even though I wanted to try everything, I hesitantly ordered the Plateau Unico... When I consulted about the appetizer platter, they kindly agreed to make it for us with a bit of wait time. The plate that came out had a perfect balance of cold dishes like octopus marinated, carpaccio, mozzarella, and warm dishes like fried artichokes. They really know what they're doing. The pasta with blue chili pepper and bottarga was exquisite. I finished the simple grilled swordfish for the second course. For dessert, we shared a seasonal peach and ice cream. The sparkling wine (Prosecco?) and white wine were recommended and they were perfect. We put together our meal by looking at the menu with the classics and today's specials, consulting with the staff, and balancing out the dishes. It's a joy to subtract dishes to find the right balance once you've decided what you want to eat. I was completely satisfied once again this time.

It had been a long time since my last visit! I had only been once when there was still a shop in Aoyama, and all I remember is how delicious it was, so I decided to visit again! It was easier to get to than before. It had been a while since my last visit, and I had trouble deciding what to eat, but I ended up ordering the Burrata Cheese Salad, Tripe Stew in Tomato Sauce, recommended Squid Ink Short Pasta, and Tomato Sauce Pasta. They were all delicious, but the simple Tomato Sauce Pasta was really delicious. I asked the staff for a recommendation and it was the right choice. Recommendations are important after all! The pasta with the sauce was even more delicious than I had imagined. Thank you very much. I also had a meaningful time chatting with Chef Ishikawa (a very friendly and cool gentleman). I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I had a hard time getting a reservation at this Italian restaurant. The food was delicious and the interior of the restaurant was stylish and cute. It's located in Omotesando and has a great atmosphere. I would love to go back if I can get a reservation again. The portion sizes were quite large and I left feeling full.

The restaurant has moved from Omotesando to Aoyama Ichome! The new location is much easier to find and closer to the station, making it convenient to visit. However, it was quite crowded and the staff seemed busy. It was hard to get wine poured, but it was understandable due to the crowd. The food was delicious!

I wanted to have a lot of pasta, so I ordered three kinds of pasta without a main dish. The pasta was cooked al dente and the texture was perfect! I also had a glass of wine, and the staff was very friendly, making the dining experience enjoyable. ❤️ #Italian #Pasta #TokyoGourmet #Aoyama #ItalianFoodLover #WantToConnectWithItalianFoodLovers #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #WantToConnectWithFoodies #Foodie #MinatoWardGourmet

Actually, this is my third time at "Donchiccho". The first time was in Shibuya, the second time was in Aoyama for a limited time, and now I have finally settled down in the same Aoyama area. Although the previous location was near Aoyama Gakuin University, this time it is right next to Aoyama Ichome Station. Come to think of it, I remember that Ryujiro was just a few minutes' walk away. Lately, I have been more into the vibrant and sunny flavors of olives and tomatoes from Southern Italy rather than the refined dishes from Northern Italy. Maybe it's because it's summer. As usual, I sat at the counter. The interior of the restaurant has a cheerful and lively atmosphere, like being transported to Naples, with bottomless brightness. One of the great things about this restaurant is that they offer the same number of recommended dishes as their regular menu. The menu is so diverse and enticing that I decided on two appetizers before calling the waiter over to help me choose the mains. Due to the weekend rush, the waiter suggested we decide on all the dishes at once. Depending on the day, the portion sizes can vary, but I decided to go with the flow. This time, I ordered the Italian barley and swordtip squid summer vegetable bottarga salad, bonito tartare with mustard sauce, clam and squid zucchini lemon hand-cut taglierini in Sicilian style, Donchiccho's summer cold spaghetti, and oven-baked gurnard in Sicilian style. The first dish was the bottarga salad. The waiter neatly divided it for us and squeezed fresh lemon over it. The flavor was milder than expected, with a distinct squid taste. I think the squid salad could use a bit more acidity or saltiness to enhance the flavors. The bread, as always, came in two varieties. Nothing particularly noteworthy, but the focaccia had a chewy texture even when cold. It would have been better warm. The bonito tartare, despite being a tartare, had a refreshing summer flavor with pink peppercorn aroma as an accent. The mustard sauce added acidity, enhancing the appetite. The summer specialty cold spaghetti was an oil-based pasta with plenty of cherry tomatoes. It looked like a cold dish but was actually warm. The finely chopped green olives added a salty kick, and the capers provided a fragrant aroma. It was a simple yet deep and universally appealing flavor. By the way, about 70% of the customers ordered this pasta. It's quite popular. The hand-cut taglierini, a dish for seafood lovers, was a delightful combination of seafood and pasta. The eggy texture of the taglierini elevated the dish, and the seafood flavors mixed well. The only downside was the slightly undercooked clams. For the mains, I opted for the gurnard. I chose the Sicilian-style oven-baked preparation. The tender gurnard sat on a bed of soft onions with aromatic herbs. The flesh was tender and flavorful. Mixing it with the onion and fish broth extracted from the fish added to the deliciousness. I wanted to order another pasta dish, but since the restaurant was busy, I settled for dessert to fill the gap. My companion had the lemon pudding, while I tried the Sicilian specialty cannoli. The lemon pudding had a refreshing Sicilian touch, with a light lemony flavor. It was a classic pudding, but the reduced amount of eggs and sugar allowed the refreshing lemon jelly on top to shine through. The cannoli, a Sicilian classic, was filled with a cream mixed with dried fruits. Normally, it would be filled with ricotta cheese cream, but this version had a mild cheese flavor and a moist texture that I had never tasted before. The crispy pastry shell paired with the cream was delightful. After enjoying all this food and drinks, the bill came to just under 20,000 yen for two people. It seems they have discreetly raised their prices due to the current situation, but it's still a great value. It's a great place to come with your significant other, family, or friends to enjoy a lively and fun dining experience.

A Sicilian restaurant where everything is perfectly delicious. The menu is mainly in Italian (with Japanese translations). The Sicilian ham and melon were the best I've ever had in my life (what was I eating before this?). The staff's service is pleasant and makes you feel like you're on a trip to Italy ✈️ The menu seems to change with seasonal ingredients, so I definitely want to go back before summer ❤️ Thank you for the wonderful meal ♫ Don Ciccio in Aoyama 1-chome @donciccio_tokyo.

"Trattoria Siciliana Don Ciccio" - I think that a good Italian restaurant has a good atmosphere, but this place has a lively and great atmosphere. Located with Italy to the north and Africa to the south, you can experience the whole food culture of Sicily where various Mediterranean food cultures intersect. The menu has many items that may be difficult to understand in the original language, but the staff kindly help you choose recommended dishes. The wine selection is also guided by a sommelier, so you can trust their recommendations. I tried tripe, risotto, beef, and cassarecce, but the tripe left a particularly lasting impression with its delicious taste. The desserts at the end are also of high quality. It's not cheap, but it's an Italian restaurant that is popular for its cozy atmosphere and great food.

A Sicilian restaurant in Aoyama Ichome. I had been curious about this place since passing by the old location, so I was happy to find out they had moved here. The new location is more convenient for me, so that's great. Here's what I had: - Rocket salad - Fried sardines, anglerfish, and taro sprouts - Fish ragu with casarecce pasta - Grilled wagyu beef - Lemon pudding I had sparkling wine and a fragrant white wine from Sicily by the glass. The dishes were presented on large plates first, then the staff divided and served them. It was thoughtful, but I worried about the increased dishwashing. The restaurant is popular and crowded. Orders are taken all at once, so adding more dishes can be difficult. Some people find the timing of the food delivery uncomfortable. It's best not to go with someone who doesn't make conversation. The pasta, casarecce, was the highlight of the meal, perfectly complementing the seafood ragu. Sicilian cuisine is delicious, and this restaurant's skills are undeniable. It made me want to visit Sicily. Thank you for the meal!

Trattoria Siciliana Don Ciccio, a popular restaurant that relocated from Omotesando, has a wonderful atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in Italy. The perfect level of liveliness, attentive staff, and cozy ambiance make it a great place to dine. A must-visit for Sicilian cuisine lovers.

The atmosphere remains the same as before, with a full house that truly feels like Italy. The dishes continue to feature Sicilian classics and seasonal ingredients. The wine is generously poured into large glasses, adding to the lively mood. The smoked swordfish carpaccio and sardine and fennel casarecce are still excellent. The coffee pudding for dessert is also large. It feels like you've been transported to Italy with the Anywhere Door. This Italian restaurant is perfect for a group of around four people to enjoy a lively meal together.

Don Chicho, which moved from Shibuya to Aoyama 1-chome in February 2023, is still very popular! It was fully booked even with two seatings. They offer a la carte rather than a course menu. It was recommended that for three people, about six dishes would be just right. We had dishes such as French white asparagus mimosa-style, lightly smoked tuna carpaccio salad, fried potato with pistachio and clams lemon spaghettini, and white pork ragout and Caciocavallo cheese fusiilli cutlet. The dessert menu was also tempting, but we were too full, so we just had cappuccinos. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was lively and fun! This restaurant is so Tokyo. Money spent: 9,000 yen Rating: 4 points 5 points: Definitely want to revisit! 4 points: Would love to revisit if given the chance! 3 points: Would consider revisiting. 2 points: Once is enough. 1 point: No need to go.

I finally got to go to Don Ciccio, which had been recommended to me for a long time! Everything was so delicious. I have to go back for sure. I even had dessert this time. - Bladder - White asparagus - Tripe - Spaghetti with clams and bottarga - Pasta with fava beans - Lamb - Assorted fried foods - Lemon tart Everything was really tasty. Among them, the pasta with fava beans was the best. I hadn't eaten fava bean paste much before, but I got hooked. I used to eat bottarga a lot in the past and it was delicious, so I mentioned it to the staff and they brought it out for me! The hospitality was great too, full marks. I want to go back soon. It's definitely going to be in my top 5 restaurants in 2023. I wonder when I can go next. Thank you for the meal!

This Italian restaurant, which has just moved, is a long-established place and it's difficult to make a reservation. I finally managed to get a last-minute reservation for seats before 8 p.m., so I visited for the first time. The service is polite, the atmosphere is nice, and although the dishes are not particularly special, they are all consistently delicious, making the wine go down smoothly. I understand why it is so popular as it has a cozy feel. There were six of us that day, but it didn't end up being as expensive as I thought, so sharing with a large group might be a good idea. I wish they also offered lunch.

This time, I visited "Trattoria Siciliana Doncicchio (Don Ciccio)". I couldn't visit the previous location when they moved to a location not far from the first one, but now they have moved to Aoyama Ichome, and I finally had the chance to visit. The location is right next to Aoyama Twin Towers, with excellent access from the station. I made a reservation a month in advance, and although it was a bit late in the evening, I managed to secure a table. On the day of the visit, I went with a group of colleagues, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was very lively and welcoming. The menu was a bit difficult to decipher, but with the help of the staff explaining the dishes and recommending specialties, we placed our orders a la carte. The staff was attentive and even advised us to order pasta and dishes that take longer to prepare early on due to our late start. We started with Burrata cheese salad, assorted prosciutto and salami, and smoked swordfish carpaccio to get our appetites going. The dishes that followed were a continuous stream of delicious surprises, from the flavorful swordfish carpaccio to the tender grilled domestic chicken liver with arugula. The aqua pazza with red sea bream was light yet full of flavor, and the Syracuse-style spaghettoni pasta was a perfect balance of al dente texture and rich sauce. The herb-grilled Iwate Iwachu pork at the end was juicy and flavorful, a perfect ending to the meal. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, with the staff swiftly serving and explaining each dish. Although we skipped dessert this time, I look forward to trying it next time. Overall, the food was excellent, and the enthusiastic staff made it a memorable dining experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Since the opening, I have visited occasionally, but this was my first visit after the relocation. Unlike before, it is now super close to the station. The store is much larger and brighter than before, very lovely! This time, we had a la carte for a girls' night out. We had: - Assorted appetizers (tuna carpaccio, flying fish roe and karasumi, whelk, burrata cheese, eggplant caponata) - Assorted fritters (smelt, squid, falafel, etc.) - Pistachio and clam lemon spaghettini - Crab and tomato linguine - Sicilian-style oven-baked Oyama jidori chicken The food is consistently delicious as always. The pistachio and clam lemon pasta was particularly outstanding, with the lemon acidity and pistachio aroma and texture making a strong impression. I had heard it was "delicious delicious," but I hadn't had the chance to try the Oyama jidori chicken oven-baked dish. The meat was tender and juicy, with no dryness, and the skin was crispy. I want to eat more of it! Or rather, I want to eat it again next time! We also had various wines based on our preferences, ending up with four bottles for four people. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is also incredibly kind. By the time we were chatting and having fun, it was already 23:00! Yet the place was still fully booked! A restaurant that is loved by many for a long time is truly different. With the proximity to the station, it might become even harder to make reservations...

Don Ciccio moved and opened on 2/13 near the back of Aoi Tower. Despite being a new restaurant, the interior has the usual Italian atmosphere. The dishes, such as clam and lemon spaghetti, smoked bonito carpaccio, seafood and vegetable fritto, casarecce with rape blossoms and firefly squid in spicy tomato sauce, grilled rockfish with mini tomatoes and herb sauce, and Bronte pistachio tiramisu, all have a delicious Italian taste. They serve each dish separately, which is greatly appreciated. The place was bustling as if transported to a restaurant in Italy! Chef Ishikawa is as youthful as ever!! Truly a great restaurant. #italianasiciliana #italian #Sicilian cuisine #donciccio #pistachio #vongolebianco #fish dish #Chef Ben Ishikawa #relocation opening
