Grano E Acqua - Hakodate

After reading previous reviews, we were excited to try this place out. However, just to make sure the information is correct, I called them before going there. I spoke to the cook directly. He said only thing he can do vegan was just cook something up with vegetable he has. No vegan pizza or pasta. I am Japanese and there was no communication issue here. I am suspecting either the cook's changed or there was some misunderstanding with previous comments by others.

We hadn 't been in Japan for long so we were a bit nervous to already find ourselves somewhere where vegetarian food was scarce. Thankfully, the waiter and chef were very friendly and seemed to understand when we flashed our card saying, we 're vegetarian etc in Japanese. I think there was a mushroom and bacon pizza on the menu so we asked for a couple of those but without bacon. The message clearly got through because we were soon served a pair of mushroom pizzas, which were quite oily, but certainly tasted like pizzas I 'm used to in Europe. It 's quite small so it might be worth booking if you know you 'll be in Hakodate for an evening.

My partner and I dropped in for dinner and asked the chef for a vegan pizza and pasta (no vegan or vegetarian options listed on the regular menu) and he was more than happy to oblige. He confirmed if we were okay with garlic and mushrooms to which we said “yes.” And he proceeded to produce the most amazing vege based pizza and pasta. One of our favourite dining experiences in Japan so far!

Really delicious vegan pizza. hardly anything in hakodate, so happy cow beat this and the chef was super friendly and helpful. pizza was fast and the place was super warm, which was great on a cold day. he knew what vegan meant.
