There's no Christmas celebration quite like Italy's Natale (Italian Christmas), when family and friends gather to enjoy cherished traditional recipes and fine wines.
This year, diners at The Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo's Italian restaurant Piacere can tuck into a festive weekend brunch until Dec. 24 in that merry spirit with a vast buffet of Italian appetizers and classic roast chicken.
Soup, gnocchi and risotto, as well as a choice of main dish such as a wagyu steak burger and king crab eggs Benedict are also on offer. The brunch is from noon until 4 p.m. on Sat., Sun. and holidays, and is priced at ¥8,000 (¥10,000 between Dec. 22 and 24).
