About this place
At Pianta, many guests begin with the house-special chilli carbonara. The dish layers tomatoes and a lively kick of spice over a rich carbonara base; it can be ordered with milder heat, and an upsized pasta portion is also an option. Another longstanding favourite is the skewered garlic toast, aromatic with garlic and olive oil and frequently paired with a glass of wine.
During lunch hours, the set menus are especially handy, offering add-on salads topped with egg and cheese alongside an ingredient-rich soup bar. Beyond pasta, the kitchen prepares fragrant stone-baked risottos, a variety of pizzas, garlic shrimp and broccoli ajillo, and meat courses, allowing diners to tailor the number of plates to their appetite and group size. Wrapping up the meal with dolci such as tiramisu or pistachio mousse and coffee makes a natural conclusion.
Set along a street near Oji Station, Pianta features an easygoing interior with roomy booth seating. It comfortably welcomes solo diners, friendly meals, and families with children, which often keeps the floor busy during peak lunch hours. For group meals or celebratory dinners, reserving a table beforehand is recommended.
