About Piacere
Piacere is Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo’s signature restaurant serving contemporary Italian cuisine. Its interior design has a dynamic and bold feel while being sophisticated, and features a double-void ceiling, cosy furniture, Venetian glass chandeliers and the warm colour of the Mediterranean Sea to pay homage to grand dining salons in Italy and represent the image of la dolce vita. Piacere faces the Imperial Palace and offers a metropolitan city view set around Tokyo Station, which is especially dazzling at night, when the restaurant’s candle-lit room creates a dramatic atmosphere. The restaurant’s two wine cellars have over 400 selections of champagne and wine. The main cellar has a ceiling height of 4.8 metres, while the other cellar has only premier and vintage wines in beautiful wooden drawers. Piacere has received Wine Spectator’s “Best of Award of Excellence” for four years in a row since 2011.
