POKOTABI / Maggiore
マッジョーレ
Located in the Taihei neighborhood near Kinshicho, Maggiore crafts Italian cuisine centered around house-milled organic wheat pasta, diverse antipasti, and pizzas. Highlights include its Bolognese tagliatelle and signature popovers.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Maggiore approaches Italian cooking with serious craft, centered on fresh pasta made from stone-milled organic wheat flour ground in-house. A cornerstone of the menu, the Bolognese tagliatelle pairs dense, bouncy hand-cut flat ribbons with a deeply concentrated meat sauce that clings to every strand. The kitchen also turns out distinctive variations tailored to specific sauces, such as shrimp cream linguine enriched with homard lobster stock and porcini linguine infused with the fragrance of imported Italian mushrooms.
The starter selection showcases meticulous kitchen work, ranging from simple carpaccio of seafood brought in fresh from Toyosu and the Seto Inland Sea—dressed with lemon, Sicilian sea salt, and olive oil—to olive ascolane, where pitted olives are stuffed with minced meat and deep-fried. Another standout is the signature popover, a puffed, choux-like pastry served with butter and maple syrup that transitions effortlessly between an accompaniment for savory dishes and a dessert. For the table, there are also pizzas to share, such as buffalo mozzarella pies and a four-cheese quattro formaggi topped with provola and gorgonzola and served alongside honey.
Warm European-style furnishings set a relaxed tone throughout the dining room. Alongside main ground-floor tables, a loft space accommodates parties and group gatherings on 1F. The setup works just as well for solo diners ordering a half salad with small-portion carpaccio as it does for celebratory groups sharing bottles of wine. For thoughtfully crafted fresh pasta and attentive seasonal cooking, it is a comfortable place to settle in.
