Tokyo-Style "New Italian" Cuisine from Minato, Tokyo

In cosmopolitan Roppongi, Tokyo's Minato Ward, "erba Ark Hills" serves traditional regional Italian cuisine and oven-baked dishes alongside a new genre of "Middle Eastern Italian" cuisine fragrant with herbs and spices. This stylish restaurant shifts from a lively taverna at lunchtime to a sophisticated trattoria in the evening.

"Middle Eastern Italian" Cuisine by a New-Generation Chef

Owner-chef Yoshiyuki Okuno runs several restaurants centered in Tokyo's Minato Ward, including "La Brianza," while also working as a restaurant consultant and producer. Although he grew up in a family that ran a traditional Japanese restaurant, his path was far from conventional: after graduating from a university in the United States, he worked as a company employee before moving to Italy to train at starred Italian restaurants. At "erba Ark Hills," traditional regional Italian dishes and oven-baked specialties are joined by a new genre of "Middle Eastern Italian" cuisine fragrant with herbs and spices. Alongside wines from around the world, the lineup of original cocktails is also popular with women. The restaurant suits a range of occasions, from everyday dining to meals for entertaining someone special.

Along with classics such as Margherita, whose simple combination of tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil appeals to a wide range of ages, "erba Ark Hills" serves pizzas distinguished by their choice of toppings. The "Burrata, Prosciutto, and Arugula Pizza" is a special pizza particularly popular with women, topped with rich, creamy burrata known for its buttery flavor, along with prosciutto and arugula that pair beautifully with the cheese. The combination of melting cheese and prosciutto makes it a dish sure to have diners coming back.

  • Oven-Baked Dishes from a Custom-Made Stone Oven

    A custom-made stone oven is used for pizzas and other oven-baked dishes. Baking them quickly at high heat gives the pizzas a crisp exterior and chewy interior.

"Party Course with Generous Sharing Platters and 2 Hours of Unlimited Drinks—Perfect for Girls' Nights and Company Parties"

"erba Ark Hills" is a favorite among stylish professionals and fashion-conscious women in the Roppongi area. The staff's top pick is the "Party Course with Generous Sharing Platters and 2 Hours of Unlimited Drinks—Perfect for Girls' Nights and Company Parties," a popular choice for group gatherings. This satisfying party course includes "Zeppoline," a traditional Neapolitan snack, "Margherita" pizza, and "Hummus (Chickpea Paste) and Pita Bread," a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, offering a taste of the restaurant's "Middle Eastern Italian" style. A wide selection of beer, wine, and cocktails is also included, with 120 minutes to enjoy the drinks.

A wide selection of options

  • A Signature Dish from the "La Brianza" Group

    The "La Brianza" group's signature dish, led by owner-chef Yoshiyuki Okuno, is the "Oven-Baked Soft-Cooked Egg with Fresh Truffle." Staff shave fresh truffle over the creamy soft-cooked egg gratin at the table, adding a memorable tableside touch. It is a popular dish that draws many diners specifically to the restaurant.

  • Wines from Around the World by the Glass

    The wine selection focuses on Italian labels, with a wide range chosen by the sommelier from countries including the United States, Germany, and Japan. Wines are available by both the bottle and the glass, making it easy to find one that suits your taste. Special bottles not listed on the wine menu are also available, so ask the staff about additional selections.

Seating that flexibly accommodates a variety of occasions

Soft light from antique-style chandeliers illuminates the brown-toned interior, creating a calm, stylish setting suited to unhurried dining. The restaurant offers counter seats for solo diners stopping by after work, table seating for meals with friends, and semi-private rooms suitable for business occasions. The semi-private spaces also allow larger groups to gather without worrying about those around them.

  • One Semi-Private Room Available by Reservation Only

    The restaurant has a single semi-private room for up to 12 guests, suited to business meals where important guests can dine and converse without concern for those around them. The room is especially popular during the welcome and farewell party season, so early reservations are recommended.

  • A Calm Brown-Toned Interior with Green Accents

    The predominantly brown interior has a calm feel, accented by green sign lighting and plants that evoke "erba," the restaurant's name, meaning herbs or grass in Italian. These touches reinforce the understated atmosphere throughout the space.

From the Tabiiro Editorial Team

Dishes found only here combine ingredients sourced from across Japan with herbs and spices in just the right balance, while the staff's warm hospitality leaves an equally strong impression. Despite its urban Roppongi location in Tokyo's Minato Ward, the restaurant has an easygoing atmosphere that invites diners to linger over a meal, whether for lunch, an anniversary, or a business occasion. From the food and setting to the service, attention extends to every aspect of the restaurant, making this a trattoria that comes highly recommended.
