La Salita

Opened in 2006 with the concept of bringing out the best in our ingredients through Italian cooking, an idea that should have existed in Niigata, but didn’t. Our owner and chef trained in Italy to be able to provide dishes carefully made from seasonal ingredients and the best service. Enjoy around 80 types of Italian wine, representing the best each region has to offer. At lunch time we are often full with regular women guests. Many people make reservations to make sure they have a seat. At dinner time, many people use us for special occasions and business entertaining. Of course we are also available for casual meals, so please feel free to drop by any time. Our interior is all glass, so you can enjoy a view of the changing seasons with your meal. You can see the cherry blossoms from here in the spring. Enjoy seasonal Italian cuisine and wine in our slightly out of the ordinary atmosphere. We await your visit. We would appreciate if you would make a reservation when you will be visiting us.
