About this place
Set in a quiet corner of Sanbancho among nearby schools and offices, Italian restaurant Rikurudi offers a relaxed meal away from the surrounding city bustle. Behind the door lies a warmly lit dining room where guests can enjoy table-service hospitality without fuss.
A prominent lunch pick is the Emilia-style penne gratin. Lightly scented with nutmeg and layered with a coarse ground-beef ragù and balanced seasoning, it offers satisfying comfort on cooler days or whenever an appetite calls for something hearty. Daily pasta lunches are also available; choosing Set C turns the midday break into a complete course with an antipasto assortment or Caesar salad, bread, post-meal coffee, and house dolce.
Daytime meat and fish entrées feature items such as rosemary-scented grilled chicken, swordfish in herb breadcrumbs, and pork cutlet wrapped with mozzarella and prosciutto. Accompanied by bread or rice alongside after-meal coffee, these plates provide solid fuel for the rest of the workday.
During dinner hours, the kitchen turns out grilled beef tagliata alongside pizzas like the margherita or prosciutto with wild arugula, suited for pairing with wine. From an unhurried solo lunch to an evening gathering with reserved seating, it operates as a calm neighborhood hideaway for Italian cooking.
