An intriguing insight into the art of Italian cuisine. Goichi aims to offer a delectable menu dedicated to Italian cuisine.

With its warm and rustic furniture, an old world charm pervades the restaurant and excels in making you feel right at home.

What should you expect from a restaurant whose owner has spent a great deal of time in Naples, mastering vital culinary techniques, crucial to pizza making? Some good Italian home-cooking for sure. This petite establishment has a bar adjacent to the seating area, a more traditional style of decor in keeping with Japanese culture. This contrasts with the deliciously authentic pizzas, antipasti and desserts that chef Yuki serves; each dish contains a true taste of Naples.

3. Trattoria Sette

Restaurant, Pizzeria, Italian, Fast Food, Vegetarian
