BOTTEGA Tokyo

Bottega sits in Hiroo, a fifteen-minute walk from Yebisu Garden Place. The restaurant holds a Michelin star and serves contemporary Italian cuisine.

The dining room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the relative calm of this pocket of Shibuya. While the venues clustered nearer the main towers rely on high-volume traffic to stay relevant, Bottega feels like a private room for local residents. It is a more considered, focused experience than the frantic dining scenes found at the base of the nearby office monoliths, making it the better choice if you actually want to hear your dinner companions speak.
