{{nihongo foot|'''Italian Tomato Co., Ltd'''|株式会社イタリアントマト|[[Kabushiki-gaisha]] Itarian Tomato|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} is a Japanese restaurant and cafe chain headquartered in [[Shinagawa, Tokyo]].

==History==
[[Namco]] bought the Italian Tomato restaurant chain in 1986.  Under Namco control, the store has been featured as a background in the [[Namco]] arcade and video console game hits ''[[Tekken 3]]'' and ''[[Tekken Tag Tournament]]''; the front of the store can be found in [[Ling Xiaoyu]]'s stage, which is themed like an amusement park. Also, a cameo of this restaurant appeared in the Nintendo Family Computer [[role-playing video game|RPG]] ''[[Rasāru Ishii no Childs Quest]]''.

In 2005, Namco sold the majority share of Italian Tomato to {{nihongo|Key Coffee, Inc.|キーコーヒー株式会社|Kīkōhī Kabushiki-gaisha}}, a food distributor and cafe operator. Since Namco, now [[Bandai Namco Games]] is a significant minority shareholder.
