A due passi
The only restaurant in Gifu Prefecture selected for 'Tabelog Italian EAST Top 100 Restaurants 2025.' Chef Kawai traveled to Italy at age 26, trained at 8 restaurants for 7.5 years, then opened in 2014. Famous for 'Pershu BonDabon,' Japan's finest cured ham, with craftsman events every 2 months. Regulars travel from afar; reservations are hard to come by. Tabelog 4.03, 427 reviews, 17,703 saves. Yahoo Maps 4.37. Lunch course (¥3,500) receives reviews like 'best value not just in Ogaki but all of Gifu.'
"If you're eating Italian in Gifu, this is the only answer—worth the drive from far away." "The ¥3,500 lunch course content is insane for Gifu." "The Pershu events are impossible to book." "Real skill that shatters the idea of 'countryside Italian.'"
