About this place
Tucked into a residential pocket of Kyoto's Saiin area, trattoria acca is an unpretentious trattoria serving Italian cuisine built around seasonal ingredients. A natural first order is the assorted antipasto platter, generously laden with a colorful mix of meat, fish, and vegetables that sets a welcoming, vibrant tone for the rest of the meal.
Thoughtful touches extend throughout the pasta and warm appetizer selections. Handmade chitarra paired with Kumamoto Akaushi beef ragù and rich fettuccine carbonara showcase pasta with appealing chew and texture. The fragrant baked risotto, served with a choice of sauce, is another distinctive option that has earned lasting praise.
For the main course, hearty meat dishes take center stage, including tender, roasted round of Kumamoto Akaushi beef, roasted Hokkaido venison, and breaded Yoro pork loin cutlets. Lunchtime brings set courses complete with antipasti, a choice of pasta, and an after-meal drink, with smooth panna cotta and other desserts available to round off the meal.
Counter and table seating furnish the dining room, providing a calm backdrop for enjoying a glass of wine or an Italian beer. Reserving a table for dinner is recommended, making it a reliable choice when looking to linger over thoughtful food and drinks.
