01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Just steps from Daitabashi Station, MiCARO offers a calm setting where Italian radio murmurs softly in the background and visitors can unwind over a freshly made drink or dessert. Care goes into every drink on the menu; ordering a cappuccino, for example, allows you to choose from 2 kinds of beans. Between the sound of the grinder and the unfussy hospitality, spending time here captures the casual charm of an Italian corner bar.
The baked goods make a natural pairing with the coffee. The warm banana cake con panna, packed with nuts, has a soft and moist crumb that matches nicely with a dollop of whipped cream, a dark-roast iced coffee, or low-bitterness cold brew. Other sweet choices include a warm spiced carrot cake and an iced-style tiramisu enriched with smooth mascarpone, letting you match your plate to whatever you feel like that day.
Savory dishes are well represented as well, from meat sauce pasta simmered slowly with minced meat and red wine and finished with shaved cheese, to vegetable tomato pasta and red-wine hashed beef. The shop stays open until 23:30 on operating evenings, making it just as handy for a glass of house wine or an Italian Nastro Azzurro beer as it is for an evening café stop with a smooth café au lait after dinner.
