大型商業集積の中のレストラン、街場のビルの一角のレストラン、それぞれ一長一短があるが、レストランが独立して箱を構えているというのは、それだけである意味、最高に贅沢である。プラチナ通り沿いに位置する「Stellato」は、そんな最高に贅沢なファインダイニング。しかしながら、その存在は極めて控え目。歩道から石段を上がること数段、一基のエレベーターがこのファインダイニングへのアプローチである。初めて訪れる際の目印は、バレットパーキング対応のスタッフと「カフェ ラ・ボエム」。

２００５年４月より、新たに手嶋　康二が総料理長に就任。
「僕の原点は、フレンチ。特に野菜にこだわったメニューを、お楽しみ頂きたい。」と語る彼の料理は、フレンチをベースに素材の旨味をそのまま引き出すことをテーマとしたもの。前シェフのスタイルも一部継承しつつ、1皿1皿に独特の華やかさの宿る、新たな「Stellatoの料理」が展開されている。
そして料理の輝きをさらに高めているのが、ホールスタッフのサービス。
「この料理には、是非このワインを!」「この一皿は、こんな風に食べて欲しい。」、、、とにかく料理をおいしく味わってもらいたい という気概が溢れた、真に質の高いものである。

シャンデリアの輝くメインダイニング、暖かくゲストを迎える暖炉、異国に旅しているような心地よい錯覚を覚えさせてくれる屋上のテラス、重厚感と熱気が交錯するバー・・・ディナーはもちろん、夜のスタートの一杯から食後のシガーまで、Stellatoで一晩を堪能することが出来る。
日々の緊張から自らを解放し、親しい仲間や大切な人との時間をゆっくりと楽しみたい時、是非訪れて頂きたいレストランである。

Restaurants are often located within large business/commercial complexes or within existing buildings on just any corner of a city. While they can certainly have their own character, both pros and cons, in these locations, we find it is often the case that restaurants that occupy their own building definitely have stronger presence and prestige. Just such a prestigious and exciting restaurant is located on Platinum Street in Shiroganedai. Stellato, situated in its own building, is a fine dining establishment widely renowned within Tokyo and beyond. Yet, its presence is rather subtle. There is merely a simple sign above an elevator set back a few short steps from the sidewalk to indicate its location. You will be able to easily identify the restaurant however, by its valet parking staff standing attentively outside and by the well-lit Cafe La Boheme that occupies the 1st floor of the same building.

Chef Koji Tejima who comes to Stellato with a solid French culinary foundation is especially skillful and takes a particular interest in the creative preparation of vegetables. He prefers simplicity yet does a carefully coordinated and delicate job of extracting the true tastes and flavors from his selected ingredients. While he respects and will preserve the Stellato style, he is certain to infuse his own character into his dishes and thereby create new era of Stellato cuisine. The graceful quality of the service that the staff provides further enhances the overall experience and in fact the tastes of the dishes. They explain each dish they serve and appropriately recommend matching wines.

There is an authentic bar space into which you emerge from the exclusive elevator to the restaurant. Chandeliers quietly light up the dining room, and a fireplace warmly welcomes dinner guests. A rooftop patio makes you feel like you are anywhere else but right in the heart of Tokyo. Patrons can begin their evening with a first drink at the bar and finish with a nice Cuban cigar on the rooftop, all in the same restaurant. This is a restaurant you will find yourself frequenting often not only to experience its many facades and culinary delights, but also because it is the ideal place to go when you deserve to slow down and savor a complete dining experience with people you treasure.
