gradevole

After working in a variety of restaurants in Niigata and Tokyo for 8 years, our chef worked for 6 years at Niigata’s Piacevole before opening this small Italian restaurant in an alleyway in 2008. An Italian restaurant where anyone, regardless of age or gender, can drop in with their families, lovers, colleagues, etc. “Let’s go have something good to eat!” All of our trustworthy staff await your visit with that spirit in mind.
