Trattoria Pizzeria Pulcino Reviews, Ratings & Menu

General Info

Nestled in the charming town of Itō, Shizuoka, Trattoria Pizzeria Pulcino offers a cozy, casual dining experience that brings a touch of Italy right to Japan. Located at 1274-66 Yawatano, this Italian gem is perfect for tourists and locals alike, offering an inviting atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely lunch, Pulcino has something for everyone.

One of the standout dishes at Trattoria Pizzeria Pulcino is their マルゲリータピザ (Margherita Pizza), a classic that never disappoints. The thin, crispy crust is topped with the freshest mozzarella, tangy tomato sauce, and a sprinkle of basil-simple, yet absolutely delicious. If you're looking to pair it with something light and refreshing, the ルッコラとパルミジャーノのサラダ (Arugula and Parmesan Salad) is a perfect choice. The peppery arugula balances beautifully with the sharp parmesan, making for a delightful combination.

For those who enjoy a satisfying lunch, Pulcino offers a ランチサラダ (lunch salad) that’s both fresh and flavorful. This is followed by a hearty ランチセットデザートパンナコッタ (lunch set dessert panna cotta), a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth treat that's the ideal way to end your meal. The panna cotta’s silky texture and subtle sweetness pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of beer, which is available on the menu to complement your meal.

Another highlight is their アサリとムール貝のトマトスパゲッティ (Spaghetti with Clams and Mussels in Tomato Sauce), a savory and satisfying dish that showcases the flavors of the sea. The spaghetti is perfectly cooked, and the combination of fresh clams, mussels, and tomato sauce creates a flavorful, aromatic dish that will have you coming back for more.

Trattoria Pizzeria Pulcino also offers a warm and inviting ambiance that makes it ideal for casual dining. The cozy interior and friendly service add to the experience, making it a great spot for a laid-back meal with friends or family. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely lunch or just stopping by for a quick bite, the restaurant’s welcoming environment makes every visit memorable.

With its diverse menu and excellent service, Trattoria Pizzeria Pulcino stands out as a must-visit for those looking for authentic Italian flavors in a relaxed setting.

“ For English Speakers. Besides the name in the menu, everything else is in Japanese. You'll have to use Google translate if you are not able to read it. We ended up getting the Apple and Walnut salad, Clam and Nanohana (Rapeseed blossom) Linguine, and the Margarita Pizza. You could not go wrong with any of the meals. They were all delicious and just the right amount. The place is small has only 4 tables. Highly recommend to reserve table if you are worried. We went at 7:15pm and they close at 8pm. We got our food and left just before they closed. They also have 3-4 parking out front too. Overall, great pizza and Italian food. Highly recommend and I'm already craving it again. ”

“ I was honestly surprised by how good the pizza was here. I didn’t expect much at first, having pizza in Japan, and in such a small town, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But I was really happy with my choice. I ordered the Rucola e Capricciosa, and it was absolutely delicious. The ham was perfectly selected, and the cheese had a very rich flavor and gave the pizza a wonderful depth. You could really taste that it was made with care and good-quality ingredients. The ginger drink I had with it was quite strong, but I loved it. Overall I left very satisfied. A lovely, well-made pizza that exceeded my expectations, especially in such a small town. ”

“ Best Italian food we’ve had in Japan! Cozy little restaurant with friendly service and bright atmosphere. We had the swordfish tomato sauce linguine, green peas and sausage pasta, and margarita pizza. Each dish came with a green salad and a flan type custard. Each meal was ¥1200. Arrived around 12:30 and waited about 20 minutes for a seat. Only 18 seats total inside the restaurant. Would definitely go there again. ”

“ Great woodfire pizzas that are made fresh to order! Free parking out the front but only about 3 car spaces. ”

“ Quaint, little Italian restaurant with quite a variety of choices. My family and I ordered 3 pasta dishes and 1 pizza, which was absolutely delicious! Even my 1 year old was out eating us! We left fully satisfied. We actually made it back to our hotel without passing out from a food coma! Attentive waitress and not long of a wait for dishes. Excellent! ”

“ This is a nice small place hidden in the wood of Izu Kogen, the menu it’s small and simple with no main dishes, but the food is nice and the atmosphere it’s really comfortable . I think it’s a place that you should give a try if you pass by this area. ”

“ We discovered this place casually and we enjoyed very much! I’m Italian and I can say I loved the pasta and the bruschetta! Bravo! ”

“ We spontaneously came for dinner and had an absolutely amazing pizza, freshly made by the very attentative and friendly owner. The dough felt very close to a traditional Italian pizza and the ingredients were fresh and tasty. He was so kind that he even helped us to order a taxi after we had finished our dinner. Thanks for this evening! ”
