About this place
Catching the eye the moment it reaches the table, the daily chef's antipasto misto has been a house signature since La fede first opened, regularly bringing together more than 5 different bites on a single colorful plate. From Toyosu-sourced fish carpaccio and rich beef mince potato salad to a textured domestic chicken terrine studded with soft cartilage, each component is carefully detailed, letting you sample a wide range of flavors in one go.
The pasta selection shows just as much personality. The mature Bolognese coats strands of fresh tagliatelle in a slow-simmered ragù of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and liver, while the bucatini carbonara brings together chewy thick noodles, fragrant fresh Cambodian peppercorns, and house-cured pancetta for deep, layered savor. Options also include fresh tomato pasta served with a whole burrata flown in from Italy to break apart as you eat, or freshly baked lasagna packed with hearty meat sauce, offering plenty of satisfying combinations of shape and sauce.
The thin-crust pizzas bake up crisp and fragrant. Alongside a classic Margherita, creative variations include a pie topped with fresh nori seaweed, whitebait, and the sharp aroma of mountain wasabi, which works particularly well as a light bite with drinks. Lunchtime courses allow you to combine antipasto platters with pasta, pizza, and dessert, finishing comfortably over a delicately scented mascarpone tiramisu or a cool semifreddo.
Set along a street just off the Sunamachi Ginza shopping district, the restaurant maintains a relaxed, casual atmosphere, seating guests at both tables and counter spots. Whether you are settling in over wine and seasonal plates at night or dropping by for a generous midday course, it serves as an easy, welcoming neighborhood Italian stop.
