siva

Arriving piping hot at the table, the sizzling iron-plate sea urchin risotto is a house favourite, marrying rich umami with flavours that naturally call for a drink. Situated just a short walk from Ayase Station, Italian restaurant siva delivers classic Italian dining with creative touches in an easygoing, unpretentious setting.

A meal often begins with colourful antipasto platters or casual small plates such as house pickles and hand-crushed truffle potatoes. The pasta selection stands out for its personality, ranging from a chunky beef Bolognese and truffle carbonara to a spiced cream pasta with shrimp and fresh coriander. Boldly seasoned, these dishes work just as well on their own as they do beside a glass of wine.

Mains feature selections like Saikyo miso-grilled Daisen chicken and beef cheek simmered in red wine, followed comfortably by house-made tiramisu for dessert. A spritzer of white wine and lime soda, house-made sangria, and an extensive list of whiskies make it easy to match a pour to your mood. Whether stopping in for a relaxed pasta lunch or settling in for an evening of shared plates and drinks, siva accommodates the occasion with ease.
