Elio Locanda

Last Saturday, our friend took us to Elio Locanda Italiana in Kojimachi. It had an "authentic" Italian feel and a lot of the workers (waiters and chefs) were Italian as well. What I really liked about this place was that they will plate a little bit of everything (if you ask) so that you can try a lot of dishes. 
Interior.
Appetizer; Bruschetta, Mozzarella alla Caprese, Carpaccio di Pesce (fish of the day was Yellowtail)
We chose the appetizers that we wanted to try and they plated it like this.
Ravioli with Black Truffle Sauce
The homemade Ravioli had excellent texture and the scent of the truffle was an added bonus.
Spinach Tagliolini with Fresh Tomato Sauce
I chose this one and I really enjoyed it. It was very light and the homemade tagliolini was awesome.
Fusilli alla Calabrese
Sasage Fusilli that the waiter had recommended to us.
We also ordered a Parmiggiano Risotto (didn't turn out well in pictures) and the boys ordered a steak for the main. I skipped because I was so full from all the carbs.
Another awesome thing about this restaurant was when we ordered our 3rd bottle of wine, they gave us cheese with homemade grape jam as a "dessert" on the house.
