Chianti Como

An Italian restaurant on the shores of Lake Yamanaka, a highland resort area in Yamanashi Prefecture. From any seat in the dining room, you can take in sweeping lake views and relax at your own pace. There’s also a pet-friendly terrace, so you can enjoy a meal while admiring the scenery with your dog.

The restaurant offers a wide selection of over 110 original dishes, based on authentic Italian cuisine and adjusted to suit Japanese tastes. The most popular item is the stone-oven pizza. Made with carefully selected flour and an original cheese blend, it’s crispy on the outside and pleasantly chewy inside. At lunchtime, you’ll also find dishes inspired by Yamanashi’s local specialty, hoto (thick, wide noodles), recommended for anyone who wants to try local ingredients. They also keep over 100 types of wine available at all times to pair with your meal.

Their house-made dressing is another signature, blending 16 ingredients with a punch of garlic for a secret-recipe flavor. Many repeat customers come specifically for the salad topped with this special dressing. Come taste what keeps people coming back.
