About
Located in the basement of the multi‑purpose complex the GARDEN, ristorante scintilla is a hidden Italian restaurant offering a quietly elegant atmosphere. Executive Chef Yuichi Mukasa—who refined his craft at numerous renowned restaurants and later served as head chef at Felicita in Omotesando—creates dishes that reflect both technical mastery and a distinctive creative sensibility.
The chef personally visits producers and regions across Japan to source seasonal ingredients at their peak. Guided by a consistent philosophy of honoring Italian cuisine, he blends traditional techniques with fresh ideas and a touch of playfulness, crafting dishes that draw out the inherent character of each ingredient. The wine list is equally compelling, featuring everything from natural Italian wines to fine wines from celebrated producers. Wine pairings that harmonize beautifully with the dishes are highly recommended.
Named after the Italian word for “spark,” the restaurant features a chic blue‑gray interior inspired by the wisp of smoke rising from a spark. The understated, tranquil space is ideal for solo dining, romantic evenings, and special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. Step away from the everyday and enjoy Italian cuisine that engages all five senses.
