Spala Restaurant in Shinjuku

KCP Winter 2018 Alum Holly Westbrook Dines at Spala

Want a taste of Italy In Japan? Not a problem. There’s always Spala! Only a few minutes away from the KCP campus, this Italian restaurant features all the carbohydrate and cheesy goodness fix you’ve been craving for!

KCP Winter 2018 alum Holly Westbrook reviews Spala, Shinjuku:

“Spala is one of my favorite Italian restaurants I’ve found in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It is about a 15-20 minute walk from KCP. Spala is located inside the large department store/movie theater: Cinema Wald 9 on the 8th Floor.

The Italian cuisine at Spala is exceptionally delicious and very decently priced. It is a great place to grab a bite before going to see a movie with your friends.

On the 8th Floor, where Spala is located, there are several other yummy restaurants to choose from if you’re not in the mood for Italian.


My favorite at Spala is their Napoletian spaghetti and avocado salad. The Earl Grey tea is also especially amazing!”
