And so on November 1996, to the happy, rhythmic beat of the Calabrian folk dance “Tarantella”, the restaurateur Elio Orsara opened his very own locanda in Kojimachi, Tokyo, only minutes away by foot from Japan’s Imperial Palace. The rest is history.

Traditional Italian cuisine and speciality Calabrian dishes made of carefully selected ingredients. Antipasto, primo, secondo, dolce and caffe - enjoy authentic Italian food at Elio Locanda. Of course, we can suggest the best wine to complement your meal.
