About this place
At Radice, the course meal is as much about the time between dishes as the food itself. One visitor described spending around 3 hours over 9 dishes and 8 glasses of wine, with wine suggestions tailored to each course. The courses and their contents vary by season, but a leisurely meal that unfolds one dish at a time, with explanations of the ingredients, suits an unhurried evening.
One visitor singled out the eel and clam risotto as especially memorable, enjoying a combination that felt unusual for Italian cooking. Eel and pumpkin risotto is also listed on the menu. Another diner mentioned having Kyoto-grown beef fillet as a main course; seeing how ingredients from Kyoto are woven into the Italian menu is part of the appeal.
Some diners have enjoyed watching dishes being finished at the table and hearing about the ingredients. There are accounts of wines being paired with individual dishes, and the restaurant also notes that it offers a wide range of wines, leaving room to share your preferences and explore the selection.
The lunch menu lists an assortment of 3 appetisers, a cavolo nero soup, a seasonal vegetable salad, and coffee or tea. One diner also noted being able to choose from 2 kinds of pasta at lunch. Reservations are recommended for both lunch and dinner, so consider getting in touch ahead of time if you plan to take your time over a course meal.
