The story
Nestled in the Optica Building in Chuo-ku, ristorante KURODINO is a destination for those who seek Italian fine dining at its most considered and refined. Located in Ginza — Tokyo's most storied and sophisticated neighbourhood — KURODINO carries the warmth and depth of Italian culinary tradition into a setting that feels unmistakably Japanese in its quiet elegance.
At the heart of the KURODINO experience is a commitment to Italian cuisine crafted with precision and passion. The kitchen's dedication to the integrity of Italian flavours is matched only by the exceptional care given to the cellar. In 2024, Wine Spectator awarded ristorante KURODINO its prestigious Best of Award of Excellence — a recognition that places the restaurant among an elite global tier of dining destinations with outstanding wine programmes. For guests who appreciate the interplay between a well-curated list and thoughtful Italian cuisine, few tables in Tokyo offer a comparable experience.
Ristorante KURODINO opens its doors each evening from 18:00, welcoming guests until last order at 21:30 — an invitation to linger, to savour, and to let the night unfold at its own pace. The restaurant is closed on Sundays, the first and third Mondays of each month, and public holidays, underscoring the team's dedication to quality over volume.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply in pursuit of an exceptional Italian meal in Tokyo, ristorante KURODINO in Ginza stands as one of the city's most compelling addresses.
