Italian Cuisine: Dinner at Gentile in Shizuoka City!

November 24, 2016 dragonlife Leave a comment

Service: a bit shy but extremely attentive and informative
Equipment & Facilities: spotless clean. Superb washroom. Entirely non-smoking.
Prices: reasonable, especially at lunch
Strong points: Authentic Italian cuisine created mainly with superb local products. Excellent wine and grappa list with judicious suggestions from the sommelier

We finally found the opportunity to visit Chef/owner Masaru Aoki’s new Italian Restaurant, Gentile, in Shizuoka City!

It is located where another Italian restaurant stood in the vicinity of Isetan whose owner suddenly had to go back to Tokyo for family reasons.

You had better reserve as this place can become very busy, especially at lunch time!
For dinner you can choose between set courses or individual dishes a la carte, or just come for a drink!

It has completely refurbished along a triple concept.
First a standing bar for customers only willing to partake of wine or spirits.

A counter with chairs for guests who come alone or wish to share a word with the chef and his sommelier.

Third tables with sofa and chairs for couples or groups wishing for more private comfort!

As for white wine (after a glass of Italian sparkling wine) we first ordered a bottle of Il Civettaio, Vermentino!

An unfiltered biological white wine with a beautiful color, splendid aroma and superb balance!

To accompany the sparkling wine we were offered a light salad made of finely cut local vegetables and wheat!

The first dish consisted of seared saury pike and sauteed horse mackerel from Suruga Bay and local marinated vegetables!

Of course all the bread is house-baked!

Extravagant aged Parma ham and raw mushrooms grown in Shizuoka Prefecture!

A dish difficult to find even in Tokyo: Sauteed black bass with renkon/lotus root from Asabata District in Shizuoka City!

And then it was time to order a red wine:
A nectar with an unusual name, Banshee! Created with Sangiovese grapes grown in Maremma, Toscana!

A discovery!

The main dish!

Vegetables all local and mainly organic, including three kinds of tuber!

Succullent “minonegyuu” beef from animals bred at Hina Farm in Hamamatsu City!

Masaru’s special pasta with fresh Piemonte black truffles!

Masaru’s desserts are known all over town!

And don’t forget to check the impressive grappa and homemade liqueurs on offer!

The beginning of a long love story!

Italian Gastronomy: Dinner at Soloio (July, 2014) in Shizuoka City!

July 13, 2014 dragonlife Leave a comment

Service: Pro and very friendly
Equipment & Facilities: Great overall cleanliness and superb washroom. Entirely non-smoking!
Prices: Reasonable
Strong points: Fresh local ingredients whenever possible. Both traditional and inventive Italian cuisine. Good wine list at moderate prices. Open late!

It had been 3 months since I visited Solio Italian Restaurant for the last time in Shizuoka City last Friday and I was wondering if I could catch up with the new dishes at one of my favorite Italian Restaurants in the Prefecture!

We actually came very early, just before 5:30 p.m. which allowed us a special happy hour glass and antipasti misto set!

I had wanted to start with a beer after the very hot day but this Chardonnay spaprkling wine from the Veneto was just perfect for all its seemingly modesty!

The antipasti misto including small fry escabeche, fritatta, eggplant and lamb meat ball!

Naturally the bread is home-baked!

These exquisite mini tomatoes (from Chef Kato’s garden) in wine jelly were on the house!
Now, what did we have?

Marinated mussles!

Melons are a main product of Shizuoka Prefecture and pruned min melons are extensively used!
Putting a big mussle on a slice and eating them together was the idea!

While we were waiting we tasted some Italian candied fruit!

Beautiful deep-fried morsels: fritto!

Shizuoka grown zucchini flowers filled with ricotta cream!

Zucchini!

Carpaccio with a fish caught in the Suruga Bay!

Madai/Japanese seabream!

The risotto of the day!

Prepared with Shizuoka-grown sweet corn and parmegiani cheese!

The meat dish of the day!

Skillet-fried pork from Kuwahara Farm in Fujinomiya City!

Unfortunately we were too full to take dessert!
That will be for the next time!

Italian Gastronomy: Lunch at Papa in Shizuoka City!

March 12, 2014 dragonlife Leave a comment

Service: Kind and easy-going
Facilities & Equipment: Overall very clean. Excellent washroom. Entirely non-smoking!
Prices: reasonable
Strong points: Gnocchi!

When a restaurant stands very near your workplace you tend to overlook it for many reasons… and I had been doing so with Papa since it opened more than 10 years ago!

But there was at least one reason why I couldn’t ignore it any longer: Gnocchi!
Not often you find an Italian specializing in gnocchi in Shizuoka!

And when gnocchi are served with Shizuoka-bred black hair wagyu stew at such a reasonable price it would be a sin to ignore it!

Of course Chef Akira Oheda not only makes his own gnocchi, but also his own focaccia bread and quiches!

First of all, a healthy plate of appetizers with home-made quiche, carrot salad and greens!

Home-made focaccia bread! (the wine was extra!)

The gnocchi in black hair wagyu beef stew!

Splendid beef stew! You don’t need a knife!

Home-made gnocchi!

I treated myself to a little extra: home-made blanc manger!

Or should I say Panacotta?
Simple but really delicious!

Italian Dessert Gatsronomy: Budino-Ricotta Cheese Puding at Soloio in Shizuoka City!

December 16, 2013 dragonlife Leave a comment

Service: Pro and very friendly
Equipment & Facilities: Great overall cleanliness and superb washroom
Prices: Reasonable
Strong points: Fresh local ingredients whenever possible. Both traditional and inventive Italian cuisine. Good wine list at moderate prices. Open late!

When you order “pudding” for dessert at Soilo Italian Restaurant in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City, you will first have to say “Budino”, and then don’t expect something in a small round dish!

This great pudding you delightfully cut through with a spoon was concocted with extravagant ricotta cheese!
It results in multi-flavored dessert you take time to enjoy a little at a time to rediscover all its facets!

Since all the food is seasonal at Solio you can expect late Autumn fruit at this time of the year, including squat persimmons which were first grown in Shizuoka Prefecture a long, long time ago!

Once again, simple and sublime!

Italian Gastronomy: Venison (蝦夷鹿) in Wine Sauce at Soloio in Shizuoka City!

December 12, 2013 dragonlife Leave a comment

Venison is very much in season right now, and I had to sample some at Solio in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City, last night!
For once the meat was not from Shizuoka Prefecture but from Hokkaido where venison is famous under the name of Ezo Shika/蝦夷鹿! Ezo is actually one of Hokkaido’s old names!

The venison was first poeled then oven-baked before being sliced and served with a superb wine sauce!

But the vegetables were not only seasonal but all grown in Shizuoka prefecture: leek, garlic, potato, sweet potato, Brussels sprouts,…

When “simple” rhymes with “sublime”!

Italian Gastronomy: Lunch at Il Brolo in Shizuoka City!

December 11, 2013 dragonlife Leave a comment

I took the opportunity of my my visit to Mariko the other day to have lunch at a small bur busy pizzeria, Il Brulo!

One of its main attractions is a beautiful and cute small tree park which changes colors with the seasons!

The building used to be a Japanese-style cafe!

Il Brolo is equipped with a wood oven for entirely home-made pizzas!

They have some interesting (and very popular) set lunches. We opted for one with a tomato pasta, the other one with a Margharita Pizza and a glass of wine each.
Incidentally, you may order from the carte even at lunch!

The antipasti misto!

Fresh salad for good overall balance!

Brocoli, kabocha and fritata!

The tomato pasta, very mild in taste!

The Margherita Pizza!

For a better look of a healthy pizza!

The dessert: sweet potato cake and banana ice-cream!

And a true expresso to finish it all!

See you at dinner next time!

Italian Gastronomy: Dinner at Storia in Shizuoka City!

December 6, 2013 dragonlife Leave a comment

I hadn’t planned to back to Storia, the newest Italian Restaurant in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City, but my worse half suddenly developed an interest for it and we were there for dinner last night!
The Dragon “took care” of the ordering (there were some items I definitely wanted to sample, so I suppose I will have to come again on my own!)!

Storia offers an interesting deal with wine for dinner: if you order a full bottle the House will offer you an appetizer plate!

The appetizer plate!

Parma ham!

Succulent Shizuoka seabream carpaccio with home-made semi-dried tomatoes!

Terrine de campagne!

Chef Koushin Saita/才田亨辰さん has the knack and patience to choose some of the best vegetables in Shizuoka Prefecture and his oven-roasted vegetable plate is a must!

Actually I’m persuaded a vegetarian and even a vegan could enjoy a truly Italian dinner there!

Roasted to the perfect minimum and such beatiful colors!

Do try the home-marinated olives with your wine!

Chef Koushin Saita/才田亨辰さん also specializes in some great meat dishes including game.
It was a bit of a battle but we agreed on the quail legs wrapped in bacon and served with a Marsala sauce!

Some famed yakitori restaurants should take note!

For fish we had a typical fish from Suruga Bay: Isaki/伊佐木/Chicken Grunt (what a name for a fish!)!
Sorry, I took only one picture, busy as I was serving the Missus!

We had a bit of a fight again about the pasta so we left it to Chef Koushin Saita/才田亨辰さん to decide for us!

Beef Ragu Tagliatelle! Another must-try!

Of course we had to have dessert!

Home-made semi freddo ice cream!

And coffee served as it should be!

Note: Contrary to what the Dragon thought, although she loved the food, I love the sheer simplicity of the place. The cuisine is high standards even by Shizuoka standards, and it is traceable!
I especially recommend Storia to ladies, although I plan to go there again on my own! LOL

Italian Gastronomy: Scabbard fish in Anchovy Sauce at Soloio in Shizuoka City!

December 1, 2013 dragonlife Leave a comment

Service: Pro and very friendly
Equipment & Facilities: Great overall cleanliness and superb washroom
Prices: Reasonable
Strong points: Fresh local ingredients whenever possible. Both traditional and inventive Italian cuisine. Good wine list at moderate prices. Open late!

one overwhelming reason why I keep coming back to Solio Italian Restaurant in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City, is that Chef Takehiko Katoh/加藤武彦さん is always trying to adapt local products to Italian recipes for a superb fusion gastronomy!

“Sacbbard Fish/Tachiuo/太刀魚” is one of the great fish caught in Suruga Bay offshore Shizuoka Prefecture.
It is a very eclectic fish which can be prepared in innumerable manners.
Takahiko first deep-fry as he would do with conger eel and serve it with deep-fried Autumn eggplants with an exquisite anchovy sauce!
A must-try!

I wonder if they have scabbard fish in Italy? But the the Italians should definitely try it!

Italian Gastronomy: Beef Cheek Stewed in Red Wine at Soloio in Shizuoka City!

November 28, 2013 dragonlife Leave a comment

have you ever tasted beef so tender that you don’t need a knife at all in spite of the big chunks of succulent meat?
Well, in this case you certainly must try the Beef Cheek Stewed in Wine painstakingly prepared by Chef Takehiko Katoh/加藤武彦 at Solio in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City!

Served with deep-fried Autumn eggplants/aubergines and potato slices it certainly makes enough for a dinner some bread and wine!
It took the two of us to finish in the middle of a dinner, so it should be enough for a single person!

Another real Italian “comfort food”!

Italian Gastronomy: Lunch at Storia in Shizuoka City!

November 27, 2013 dragonlife Leave a comment

I finally found the opportunity to visit the newest Italian restaurant to open in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City on October 19th!
The more for it that it is near my working place just beside Cenova Department Store on the second floor overlooking the entrance to the Shizutetsu Railway Line!

They have the good sense to put up a lot of information downstairs, including one of their wines!

I was particularly interested in the A lunch course menu!

The place is so clean and modern with still a nice warm touch!

Beautiful but comfortable furniture!

I decided to have a glass of the rd wine they advertise downstairs!

Pinot Noir, Casillero del Diablo, from Chile!

The antipasto misti plate!

Fish and potato rillettes, ham and ratatouille salad!

Home-made terrine and sole carpaccio!

A beautiful green salad for great lunch balance!
Note that Chef Koushin Saita/才田亨辰さん uses practically only vegetables grown in Shizuoka Prefecture!

Simple but so appetizing!

Garlic toasts for the next dish!

Mussles steamed in white wine!

Gnocchi Solentini!

Actually the waitress had kindly advised me I could ask for pasta instead. I politely declined as I have a weakness for gnocchi! And I certainly was right!

Beef Tagliata with Sanchu leaf and makomo/komotake!

Succulent and tender beef cooked to perfection!

The dessert!

Although much maligned in Europe the Japanese have become masters of Tiramisu!

And Chef Saita is one of them!

And a nice hot tea to wash it all down!

See you there next at dinner!

Italian Gastronomy: Spinach & Cheese Risotto at Soloio in Shizuoka City!

November 26, 2013 dragonlife Leave a comment

I don’t mind posting a blog on a single dish, especially when it one by Chef Takehiko Katoh/加藤武彦! at Solio Italian Restaurant in Shizuoka City!
And the more for it because he makes the best (in my opinion!) risottos in the whole Prefecture!

Presentation and originality are primordial with such an apparently simple dish, but it is more difficult than one can imagine at first!
Actually Takehiko has always told me that he secret resides in the home-made stock soup first of all!

This particular risotto, very seasonal, was concocted with fresh spinach from his own garden and cheese!
You could not only taste the superb spinach but also bite on it with the small pieces of stems included on purpose!

A real Italian “comfort food”!

Italian Gastronomy: Dinner at Il Castagno (November 2013) in Shizuoka City!

November 17, 2013 dragonlife 2 Comments

Granapado Cheese and pumpkin raviolis!

Il Castagno is a simple-looking small Italian restaurant, but it is actually one of the very top in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City for so many reasons!

Apart of the fact that the establishment is entirely non-smoking allowing guests to fully enjoy the savors of his cuisine, Chef Kenji Inami/稲見謙司さん is always on the lookout for new ingredients, especially local, to introduce in a very original gastronomy based on Southern Italian and sometimes French cuisines!

Plenty of reasonable wines available by the glass or bottle!
It had been quite some time since I had purposefully visited the place and it was about time last Friday to taste new offerings!

As an appetizer we first a couple of great fresh oysters from Mie Prefecture!

And the same just lightly steamed!

We are in full season for kaki/柿/persimmons and we had persimmon fritters wrapped in raw ham!

A little beauty!

As the last starter we switched to French mode and had this lovely Terrine de Campagne!

This is one dish Italians and French agree on!

Served with local and seasonal marinated shiitake mushrooms!

Naturally, we had to satisfy a craving for pasta!

Shrimps, mussles and mini tomato sauce!

From the back, linguine!

Chef Kenji Inami/稲見謙司さん’s half of his pasta is fresh and hand-made and includes some superb raviolis!
As he had two kinds on hand he was kind enough to combine them in a single dish!

Amaretto-style pumpkin/kabocha raviolis served with shiitake and Granapadano cheese sauce!

Very unusual raviolis in Japan!

Granapadano cheese cream ravioli!

Maybe more classic but very light and tasty! A morsel to slowly enjoy!

And for dessert a succulent cheese cake and persimmon sorbet!

Did you know that cheese cakes originated from Greece?

Hope to see you there again soon!
