A shared love of noodles, fresh and seasonal produce that speaks of the local terroir and a remit to enjoy slow food — it's quite possible that Italian is more woven into Tokyo's food fabric than any other international cuisine.

From March 11 to 13, the Shinagawa Prince Hotel presents a special dinner at Dining & Bar Table 9 Tokyo with Alberto Faccani, the acclaimed chef from two-starred Michelin restaurant, Magnolia Ristorante.

Fusions of deep Italian flavors permeate the menu, showcasing both the excellence of the produce and Faccani's pedigree. The menu includes dishes such as squid ravioli, which sees silky pillows of pasta wrapped around the cephalopod mollusk and burrata cheese, as well as a main of ris de veau (veal sweetbreads) with spinach and rhubarb, punctuated by a marsala sauce. No Italian meal is complete without dessert, and here, one can expect an innovative take on gelato.
