La Mia Mamma Italian Restaurant
La Mia Mamma is a local Italian restaurant located in the forest at the foot of Mt. Iwate.
They serve painstakingly prepared meals made exclusively with local healthy ingredients in each dish. This restaurant is located in a log house in an idyllic forest surrounded by beautiful trees and birdsong. The name Mia Mamma refers to one’s mother’s home cooking, which is just what you’ll find here. Bask in the forest and feel the sunlight shining through the canopy, then enjoy a delicious Italian meal made exclusively from the ingredients sourced in this pristine natural area.
