Pizzeria Vento e Mare Niigata

Amazing wood fire pizzas, super kid friendly, lovely staff

This place was one of those “oasis in the desert” moments for my husband and I. We were starving after a morning of running errands in the city and found this gem down a side street. I was worried that from outward appearances that they might be a smoking venue that wouldn’t be suitable for us or our baby, but we were wrong! The venue is non smoking, they’re super accommodating to kids (a kids lunch menu, high chairs, kid friendly plates and cutlery provided), and best of all the food is awesome. We got the lunch sets with pizza, salad and a drink of our choosing (we both got coffee) and everything was delish. We wanted to get dessert but couldn’t fit it in as the portions are huge! Great value for money and the staff are also just so warm and lovely - it’s always pleasant when places are happy to see children present rather than just tolerating them! We will definitely be back next time we are in the city. They’re open 11.30am-2pm for lunch and 6-10pm for dinner every day except Mondays when they’re closed. Also they only accept cash so be sure to have yen on you!
