The TRATTORIA SALVATORE CAFE Grand Opening in Yokohama

On March 19, 2026, The TRATTORIA SALVATORE CAFE will officially open its doors at BASEGATE Yokohama Kannai, located at 1 Chome-1-1 Minatocho, Naka Ward, Yokohama. This new dining establishment is brought to life by Wise Table Corporation, which is known for its successful ventures such as XEX and SALVATORE CUOMO. This Italian restaurant promises to be more than just a place to eat, as it aims to provide an all-day dining experience that incorporates the rich culinary heritage of Italy alongside locally sourced ingredients from across Japan.

Inspired by the bustling culture of Yokohama, The TRATTORIA SALVATORE CAFE combines the best of various regions, utilizing specialty ingredients such as Asahikawa's 'Takasago Beef' from Hokkaido, Ehime's 'Mikan Tai' and 'Madai', 'Shimanoto Pork' from Kochi, and Kumamoto's 'Aka Ushi'. Each of these choices showcases the natural flavors of their origins, transformed into exquisite Italian dishes. The pizza dough is made from an original blend using whole wheat flour from Saga Prefecture, which is baked in a wood-fired oven, resulting in a perfectly balanced crust that enhances the flavors of the toppings.

One of the standout features of the restaurant is the colorful 'COLORE PIZZA', which boasts ten unique variants, each named after a color in Italian. For instance, the RED ROMANA features a flavorful tomato sauce with anchovies and capers, creating a distinct salty taste that is remarkably addictive.

Among the drink options is the 'Cloud' cocktail, showcasing contrasting layers of cold milk, rich espresso, and milk foam, bringing a refreshing twist to the palate.

The dining experience continues with an array of other Italian-inspired dishes ranging from pasta, appetizers to main courses, all designed with a modern twist that reflects the essence of Yokohama.
