PRIMO PASSO

The name ‘Primo Passo’ means ‘first step’. The chef was in charge of pasta at the celebrated Quattro Passi restaurant in Naples before taking his first step towards independence in Shintomicho. His aim is to create ‘Italian cuisine with a Japanese twist’. He uses plenty of dashi and Japanese ingredients. Also incorporating Japanese elements are the coffered ceiling, mud walls and vertically written menu. He serves several small dishes featuring his speciality pasta to showcase a variety of flavours.
