POKOTABI / Muccarina,
Muccarina,
Tucked into a quiet backstreet of Kagurazaka, Italian restaurant Muccarina, serves seared wagyu bistecca, handmade pasta, and a generous glass-wine list well into the night.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Cooked carefully behind the counter, the wagyu bistecca arrives with a crisp seared crust and the deep, concentrated flavour characteristic of lean beef. Just off the main thoroughfare in Kagurazaka, Muccarina, presents hearty, rustic Italian cooking grounded in Tuscan traditions within an easygoing neighbourhood setting.
Beyond the beef, the menu offers a steady rotation of antipasti, small sharing plates, and colourful pasta. Delicate candy-shaped stuffed pasta sits alongside seasonal bruschetta and fragrant truffle fries, making it rewarding to assemble a varied spread around the wine list. A solid by-the-glass selection invites conversation, with staff ready to suggest pairings to match personal tastes and the dishes ordered.
Tables are supplemented by counter seats, giving solo visitors an unhurried perch for a late drink and a bite. With service extending well past midnight on most nights, the restaurant doubles as a reliable stop for a late dinner after work or a relaxed second stop of the evening.
