Nestled in the vibrant city of Kyoto, Ortensia brings authentic Italian cuisine to life, emphasizing locally-sourced ingredients and traditional techniques. Founded in 2019, Ortensia is renowned for its creative dishes that honor Italy's rich culinary heritage.


Standout dishes include the delightful combination of sweet shrimp with stracciatella cheese and the sumptuous prosciutto-wrapped conger eel. The menu also offers flavorful homemade pasta, a variety of seafood starters, and perfectly braised beef cheeks in red wine.
