Arva Restaurant The pinnacle of Italian dining with a Japanese twist in Tokyo's skyline view.

Perched on the 33rd floor of the luxurious Aman Tokyo, Arva Restaurant offers an extraordinary dining experience that seamlessly blends traditional Italian culinary artistry with the delicate seasonal ingredients of Japan. Since its opening in 2014, Arva has become a symbol of refined sophistication, where the modern zen aesthetic complements panoramic views of Tokyo's vibrant cityscape, creating a serene yet vibrant atmosphere for food lovers and travelers alike.

A timeline of culinary innovation and excellence

Arva's journey began in 2014 with the grand opening of Aman Tokyo, instantly putting the restaurant on the map as the hotel's signature Italian dining venue. Just a year later, in 2015, the arrival of Chef Masakazu Hiraki brought a new level of mastery, as he skillfully integrated Italian techniques with the nuanced flavors of Japanese ingredients, setting Arva apart from traditional Italian eateries in Tokyo.

By 2018, Arva had earned widespread recognition for its innovative menu and exceptional guest service, solidifying its reputation among discerning diners seeking a unique culinary adventure. The restaurant demonstrated resilience and adaptability in 2020 by expanding its offerings to include takeout and delivery, ensuring continued access to its exquisite dishes during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, in 2023, Arva remains a highly sought-after destination, celebrated for its elegant fusion of Italian and Japanese flavors, exceptional ambiance, and breathtaking views that captivate both locals and international visitors.

Arva's menu showcases an elegant array of Italian dishes crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for Japan's seasonal bounty. Guests can expect exquisite pasta creations like the acclaimed sea urchin pasta with tuna roe, which has been praised as one of the best uni pastas available. The culinary team also offers vegetarian options and expertly balances bold flavors with subtle refinement to appeal to a diverse palate.

The view is stunning, and the hotel’s high ceilings give it a classy vibe. I tried the sea urchin pasta with tuna roe, and it was hands down the best uni pasta I’ve ever had. We loved it so much that we went back just two days later for the pasta. They also serve complimentary breadsticks and light appetizers, which were a nice touch. Overall, an amazing dining experience with incredible food and views.

Such a delightful experience! We booked it last minute and was blown away by the food and service. The tiramisu is truly the best I've ever had - a must have!

Their pastas were amazing as well. The mushroom crepe pasta was really unique, haven't had that anywhere else.

Definitely a great take on the Italian cuisine but made more palatable to Asian taste. I'll remember to come back next time

Update: Thanks for reaching out to us so promptly Arva. It is evident that the team takes the food and overall experience of the guests very seriously.

Summary, tldr:
Disappointing.
Almost everything had asparagus. Was nice perhaps, but was this just some way to clear some over surplus of asparagus??? Overall a 3 or 4/10 for food, everything was cooked well, but many ingredient choices and combinations were poor. Found ourselves trying to like / pretend to like majority of the dishest but after awhile we were just laughing. Sadly our most expensive but worst meal in Japan thus far.
Service and ambience were good though.

Full review:
Appetiser (not in menu):
Breadsticks and dipping sauces were nice. Pesto was especially nice - tasty and refreshing.
The cold meat dish was weird - a bit like cat food. Would've changed it to a tuna or beef tartare perhaps. Cheese-like cracker was okay. Asparagus puree was light and nice.

Fritto Misto (Tempura dish):
Batter was very thin, maybe tooo light, wasnt crispy, like just a coating over the vegetables (maybe meant to be that way).
The pungent bulb-looking vegetable (maybe spring onion) was terrible. Just raw, sharp, and too alliaceous. Should've maybe used lotus root, burdock, mushroom, sweet potato, or pumpkin?
The fern was just really bitter and tasteless, shouldve maybe used corn?
Bread given should've been warm. And where's the butter or olive oil.. :(
Shrimp was sweet and cuttlefish was nice though.
Anchovy paste was just okay.

Crespelle (crepe cheese dish with pork):
Decent, but after awhile it was too much and too cheesy and bland at the cheese portions. A bit like baby food. Asparagus puree re-used. Pork parts were nice.

Pesce Isaki (Fish dish):
The chestnut potato puree when eaten tgt with the shrimp sauce, had a root beer (wintergreen/methyl salicylate) note. Watercress puree was okay, a tad salty. The raw watercress should not be on the plate (maybe was decor), it was bitter and too raw tasting. Fish was well cooked and great.

Agnello (lamb main):
Lamb was tender but unfortunately tasted like something that could be found in 7eleven, like a lamb nugget? Was slightly gamey too. The lamb puree with black olives tasted animalic (farm-like smell) - disaster combination. Salad was just sour, like pure lemon juice used only - it needed sweetness. Asparagus was okay. Fresh tomato & basil was nice.

Basil sorbet (not in menu):
Extremely delicious - fresh and light.

Torta paradiso (melon dessert):
Nice. But nothing to shout about.

Caffe o te piccola pasticceria:
Tea and coffee alright, little biscuits were nice, esp the meringue.

In addition and on a side note, their cloth left so much lint on me!😂

What an ambiance!!!  Also the view!!!  It is definitely worth a visit just for this but the food was truly excellent -not too innovative (in a good way) but beautifully creative.  The lunch menu is a choice of 9,000, 12,000, 15,000 yen course menu with tax and service included.  For the quality and considering the incredible atmosphere, it is very very reasonable.  It was more French-ish than Italian but buonissimo nontheless.  I will be back for sure and highly recommended if you want to have a special and magical experience.
