Rigoletto Kitchen is located in-between Shinbashi and Ginza where all the salary-men work. During lunch-time it gets packed with local business people. It’s an Italian/Spanish restaurant which serves a variety of affordable options for a great deal. I got the Assorted Mushroom Pasta (800yen) and added a B set (250yen) — which includes a sip of wine or juice before the meal, salad and drink. The pasta of the day (green spring pasta) was 900yen. The Panini was 900yen and includes a soup and drink in that price. What a great deal for the amount of food plus they don’t rush you to leave which is nice. The service was great too. My friend and I both enjoyed our pastas but the others who ordered the panini said it was more like a club sandwich than a panini.
When we saw the menu drawings, we immediately realized that this place is owned by the same owner as Hacienda Del Cielo, the Mexican place in Daikanyama!

I just found your blog and it is very good. We are going to Tokyo in 2 weeks and will be there about 20 days. We will be at the Grand Pacific LaDaiba for the first 6 days. Are any of the restaurants you’ve blogged about located near there?
Thank you Patricia. Sounds like you’ll have plenty of time to explore Tokyo and try all the good cuisine here. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet blogged about very many restaurants in Odaiba (the area you staying), but there should be plenty of good eats around there. The breakfast place I blogged about a few days ago named “BILLS” also has a location in Odaiba so I would definitely recommend having breakfast/brunch there. I would also recommend you check out “Breadworks” which is located on Tennozu Isle and is also near your hotel. I hope you have a great trip and enjoy Tokyo :)
that does look more like a club sandwich! a very good one too ;)
