Italian Bar Porco in Kitasuna, Koto Ward, is a unique establishment where you can enjoy Italian cuisine with a focus on dishes like yakitori. The menu includes a variety of alcoholic beverages such as wine, sake, and shochu for a diverse dining experience.

 

The popular menus are the “kushimono” skewers, which come in six varieties: chicken thigh, heart, gizzard, liver, salted chicken tenderloin, and fluffy tsukune (grilled chicken meatballs).

With various flavors to enjoy, there is never a dull moment, and the drinks flow smoothly! In addition, each dish has a satisfying volume, making it a truly fulfilling experience. This is a friendly place where many people working in the neighborhood can unwind with colleagues or friends after work. The establishment offers both table seating and counter seating. While I don’t come to this area often, according to the owner, the customers are also very warm and welcoming.

 

 

△Potato Salad

Infusing his Italian culinary background, the chef skillfully blends Japanese and Italian flavors. I never knew mixing the two flavors can create such harmony. This is a must try potato salad!

 

 

△Chicken liver, with sesame oil and green onions

Indulging in the rich flavors of perfectly seared chicken liver drizzled with aromatic

sesame oil and garnished with fresh green onions—a delightful harmony of savory goodness and vibrant freshness on a plate!

This is one of the signature menu, so when you visit, be sure to give it a try.

 

 

△Tiramisu

Savor the classic elegance of our Tiramisu, a perfect blend of coffee-infused ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone. A simple yet indulgent dessert to satisfy your sweet cravings.

 

 

The cuisine crafted by owner Mr. Shigemori, who honed his skills in Michelin-starred

restaurants in Italy, is truly exquisite!

The rustic decor of the restaurant evokes the warmth of the Mediterranean, and the chef is delighted to share his experiences in Italy. The background art exudes a sense of

freedom, which makes the interior to be truly captivating. Feel free to drop by Italian Bar Porco for a delightful time.
