MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
One MICHELIN Star: High quality cooking, worth a stop!
Inspired by the jazz cafes of 1960s Tokyo, Kissa Tanto seduces with a moody vibe complete with white mosaic floors, antique Japanese panels and steely colored walls loaded with artwork and photos. If the stack of vinyl records by the bar didn't offer enough of a hint, the terrific music certainly will. There is a definitive laidback vibe here, but the ambitious kitchen pulls no punches with its mingling of Japanese and Italian cuisine.
The region's bounty is on full display in dishes such as roasted and fried celeriac served with onion and mushroom dashi. The cultural collision is best seen in dishes like the Tajarin, hand-cut pasta dressed with butter, miso-cured egg yolk and parmesan. Tiramisu takes an Eastern turn with an ethereal, plum-wine soaked tofu-filling.
