01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Drawn by bubbling-hot wood-fired pizza and chewy pasta with satisfying bite, diners naturally gravitate to Rubino in Ayase even late into the evening. Open daily from 17:30 through 2:30 the following morning, it easily accommodates everything from a leisurely late dinner to a second party or a nightcap in the early hours.
An Extensive Selection of Pizza and Fresh Pasta
The pizza selection spans well-loved classics and unique house creations. Highlights include the cheese-based White Margherita, a favorite with regulars; a four-cheese pizza served with honey for a melting sweet-and-savory contrast; and a prosciutto and rocket pizza that releases fragrant aromas under the heat of the oven. On the pasta side, dishes like the amatriciana, where savory bacon and sweet onion melt into homemade tomato sauce, show off the distinctive springy chew of fresh pasta.
Wine-Friendly Plates and Late-Night Comfort
Beyond pizza and pasta, Rubino offers a varied à la carte menu tailored for drinking. Options include a select beef skirt steak tagliata paired with house-made apple-cassis sauce, juicy Italian-style fried chicken, and bubbling ajillo accompanied by baguette slices. Furnished with counter seats and tables, the dining room suits both a relaxed solo drop-in with a glass of wine and an easygoing meal shared with friends around a table.
