We visited this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon as a party of two. We didn't have a reservation but managed to get in just in time. For lunch, we had appetizers, desserts, a drink, and each chose a main dish. We went with the Marinara pizza and the cream pasta with shirasu and clams. The appetizers were vibrant and truly Italian. The pizza was cooked in a stone oven, very authentic. This place is perfect for a special lunch. The whole experience, from entering to finishing our meal, took about 1 hour.

Today, my wife wanted to eat delicious pizza, so we went to a restaurant near Kyobashi Station. It's located under the Keihan railway tracks, just a short walk from Seven Eleven. Turn right at the place where there used to be a restaurant called "New York One," then turn right at the fourth street. They offer a lunch set menu on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays only. The pizza here is very delicious, with a unique dough that I've never tasted elsewhere. The appetizer platter prepared for the number of people is also top-notch, especially the smoked chicken. It's a popular restaurant, so it's best to make a reservation in advance. However, because it's so popular, they may not always answer the phone during business hours (laughs). Overall, it was a fantastic meal! We will definitely be coming back!

I had a Sunday pair lunch with 8 women, each ordering a pizza. The pizzas were freshly baked in a kiln, hot and delicious with plenty of toppings. The staff cut the pizzas into 8 slices for us, so we were able to try 8 different kinds, which was very enjoyable. It was the first time I had experienced having the pizzas cut according to the number of people in the group, and it was great. The appetizers had a variety of options, and there were also fruits for dessert. The meal was reasonably priced and very filling. The restaurant was full within 10 minutes of opening, with customers of all ages. It's a local favorite and the service was excellent. I will definitely be going back to eat there again.

Italian restaurant in the Kyobashi area! It's always crowded with customers, creating a lively atmosphere that feels like dining in Italy! The pizza and pasta are incredibly delicious with a wide variety to choose from. There are also many other great dishes to try, offering a range of different flavors. They have a good selection of drinks, so be careful not to drink too much. It's a fun and delicious Italian restaurant that I highly recommend! By the way, they only accept cash payments!

Lunch on a holiday. I don't usually have lunch on weekdays, so it's a precious treat. It's a favorite restaurant of mine, but due to its location, I don't get to visit often. The appetizers were elaborate and delicious! I wish I could have more, haha. There are many places that serve oven-baked pizza, but the dough here is so soft and fluffy, it's the best! The carbonara pizza is creamy with a hint of onions. The pasta was cherry shrimp and rapeseed pepperoncino. Both dishes were even more delicious with a generous drizzle of chili oil. The lemon cake dessert was a refreshing end to the meal. I really want to go back to this place soon, but since they only offer lunch on weekends and holidays, and it's a popular spot, it might be hard to get a reservation. This is a place that girls will definitely love! ❤️

The best cost performance for lunch. You can order one item from pizza, pasta, or main dishes, with a drink and dessert included, as well as appetizers for the number of people. For dinner, you can enjoy a meal for around 7,000 to 8,000 yen, but for around 5,000 yen, you can have a great meal. Everything is delicious, but the variety and quality of the appetizers are outstanding. If there are two people, you may want to order pasta and pizza, so it's best to have three people so you can order additional dishes.

Second visit, both times with reservations. Slightly pricey (maybe due to location), but the taste is excellent. We were informed of a 2-hour time limit due to full capacity upon entering. It's recommended to order main dishes early as they take longer to prepare, but unfortunately, they still took a while to arrive. We felt rushed towards the end for payment and ended up having to eat quickly (couldn't finish dessert and drinks). Be cautious of the amount you order if in a large group and under the 2-hour time limit! (Even with a regular course, it's likely you won't finish everything if you're also drinking).

The menu is so extensive with Italian appetizers, pizza, pasta, main dishes, and desserts... everything is delicious so it's hard to decide! They also offer courses which are recommended. Sometimes you can enjoy TOKYO X or branded pork. They are open for dinner on weekdays, but on weekends and holidays they are open for lunch as well. The appetizer platter is a must-try and a great deal!

Located a 5-7 minute walk from Osaka-jo Kita-Temma Station, Italian Pizzeria E Trattoria Fortissimo is always bustling with customers, making it a popular Italian restaurant where you might not be able to get a table without a reservation. The casual atmosphere makes it perfect for a casual dining experience. The menu is extensive and filled with delicious dishes, making you want to come back multiple times to try everything. This time, we tried the Carpaccio platter with 5 varieties, Prosciutto Crudo, and Eggplant and Tomato Mozzarella Lasagna. The Carpaccio platter was generously portioned, seasoned with plenty of olive oil and lemon, making it a perfect appetizer. The pizza with a balanced combination of salty prosciutto and aromatic cheese on a thick crust was satisfying to eat. The lasagna with soft eggplant, flavorful meat sauce, and tangy tomato mozzarella cheese was absolutely delicious, with the cheese and sauce coating the lasagna sheets perfectly. This restaurant offers a relaxed Italian dining experience, so be sure to visit. Thank you for the delicious meal!

There was a second rotation available, so I went in. There were many Italian à la carte dishes on the menu that I had never tried before, and I ordered while feeling undecided. There are still many à la carte dishes that I am curious about, so I plan to go back again! Grazie(^^)

Dinner was just as good as lunch, so I decided to give it a try. They had Italian beer and a variety of wines by the glass, which was a nice start. The seafood appetizers were delicious and diverse. The risotto was cooked from raw rice and turned out well. The pizza was cooked on a hot plate. The dessert was beautifully presented and tasty. The cappuccino was made by grinding the beans fresh. I could tell why this place is so popular. It has the atmosphere of an Italian trattoria.

It was a casual and authentic Neapolitan Italian restaurant. I had been curious about it for a while, but it was always busy so I never had the chance to visit. I called around 1 pm and luckily they had availability. When I arrived, all the seats were full except for the one I reserved, so it seemed like the second seating for lunch. The service was efficient and the appetizers were delicious. The simple Margherita wood-fired pizza that I had heard about was amazing! The pasta and baked dishes were also delicious. The dessert of the day, Delizia al Limone, had the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity and was very tasty.

I visited for lunch on Sunday. Please note that lunch is only available on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. [Lunch Menu] - Pizza - Pasta - Choose one item from the second course (¥2,200 excluding tax per person) - If there are two people, you can choose two items (¥4,400 excluding tax) - This includes an appetizer assortment, bread, and drink, and dessert As there were two of us, we chose pizza and the second course. For pizza, we had the "Salsiccia e Broccolo", and for the second course, we chose the "Grilled Pork Loin" (+¥300). For drinks, you can upgrade to draft beer for an additional ¥350 or switch to a glass of wine for an additional ¥300. First, we had the appetizer assortment, which included pate, zippoli, carpaccio, smoked chicken wings, marinated vegetables, and sautéed items. It was packed with a variety of dishes. The zippoli and sautéed broccoli were delicious. When we finished the appetizers, the pizza was ready. The pizza was a slightly smaller size, around 20-22 cm. The dough was thick and chewy, with a crispy and fragrant crust. The combination of spicy salsiccia and mozzarella cheese was delicious. Next, we enjoyed the grilled pork loin from the second course. It was a simple dish cooked in a wood-fired oven, with a perfect balance of crispy surface and moist, tender meat. It would have been perfect with some rock salt and grainy mustard. Lastly, we had the dessert "Bonet", an Italian chocolate-flavored pudding served with tropical fruits and whipped cream. It was a delightful treat to end the meal. The restaurant was bustling with young staff and customers, including families with children. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy. Although we were tempted by the pasta, we were very satisfied with the appetizers, pizza, and meat dishes. It was a great choice and we had a wonderful dining experience.

After returning from a trip to Kyoto with my sisters, we decided to have dinner in Osaka before heading home. We were all hungry because we had only eaten soft serve ice cream since morning! We wanted to eat Italian food, so we found this place: Pizzeria e Trattoria Fortissimo. They serve authentic pizza, and we were so excited! Since many restaurants were closed during this period (due to the state of emergency), we called ahead to make a reservation before visiting, and we were glad we did because the place was already fully booked when we arrived. In Osaka, where we were, it was right in the middle of the alcohol ban, so the adults had carbonated water while the kids had oolong tea for a toast! Now, let's choose from the menu. There were so many options! The pizza section alone had several pages. The kids couldn't decide even after looking at the menu, so the adults chose based on their preferences, ordering a few varieties. We were eagerly waiting, and then it arrived! Margherita Pizza: Unanimously decided, we ordered the Margherita pizza. It was incredibly delicious! The dough was chewy with a nice aroma of wheat flour and a crispy texture, just perfect. We couldn't believe such delicious pizza was available in Kyobashi! We wished we could have enjoyed it with a glass of red wine. Zeppole: My niece insisted on ordering this, saying "I want this!" It looked like takoyaki but was more like a chewy fried bread with a flavor of seaweed and salt, very delicious. And the chewiness was reminiscent of Pon de Ring. It was so delicious that we ordered an encore later. Napoli Cherry Tomato and Mozzarella Cheese Penne: The sauce coming out fresh from the pasta's hollow and the perfect al dente pasta, everything was excellent. Quattro Formaggi Pizza: We decided on this because everyone loves cheese, but the kids found it too strong in flavor, haha. The adults loved it though. It was one of the best Quattro Formaggi pizzas we've ever had. Lasagna: The creamy eggplant, cheese, and sauce were too delicious. Veal and Potato Tomato Sauce Spaghetti: We added this because my nephew could still eat more. It was probably called something else, but I forgot. It had a comforting taste like Italian-style meat and potatoes and was delicious. It turned out to be a massive carb party. We walked a lot, so it's zero calories, right? The restaurant had a very friendly madam overseeing the floor, who was very accommodating with our food preferences. Additionally, they had thorough COVID-19 prevention measures in place, including alcohol disinfection and acrylic dividers on the tables. Sharing dishes were passed around through a small gap at the bottom of the divider. It was challenging for us, but the restaurant staff also had a tough job. Hopefully, we can return to the days when we can enjoy delicious food and drinks outside without worries. Thank you for the meal!

I like both old-style Italian restaurants and more modern trattorias and taverns that incorporate elements of a bar. If a restaurant can adapt to attract younger generations while staying true to its roots, that's a great quality to have. "Trattoria Fortissimo" seems to have that vibe. Despite the rainy weather, the restaurant was almost fully booked, likely due to its cozy and intimate atmosphere with limited seating. The small counter, narrow aisle tables, and compact table seating create a charming setting, enhanced by the presence of a large stone oven. For drinks, I had a Antoniana Marechiaro beer and a glass of wine. The appetizer platter included marinated seafood, carpaccio, prosciutto, salami, and vegetable marinade, all tasty despite the unassuming presentation. The Margherita pizza was faithful to tradition with a chewy crust, although slightly burnt on the underside. The penne pasta with Florentine-style beef tripe ragu was a unique and delicious dish that paired well with wine. The only downside was the slightly delayed service timing. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience at Trattoria Fortissimo.

I had a lunch set that included an appetizer platter, choice of pasta or grilled dish, dessert, and a drink. The restaurant was really popular with many customers making reservations and some getting takeout. The set was very filling. The taste of the pizza was a bit blurry and I got tired of it towards the end. It seemed like it was overcooked or unbalanced. It was a bit disappointing compared to my expectations. The kitchen seemed chaotic and a bit scary, but the staff were nice on the surface. I guess there are a lot of things to consider when it's busy. It's a tough world.

Before the state of emergency was declared, I moved to Kyobashi. The other day, after the state of emergency was lifted, my husband and I decided to go out. I knew a good place to go, so I made a reservation just in case. We arrived a little before 12:05. There were a few groups waiting. I was glad we made a reservation. Lunch was a pair lunch for 3980 yen for two, with Margherita pizza and grilled pork. We started with a beer before the appetizers. The first beer was supposed to be an extra 200 yen, I think? I didn't really pay attention to the prices. It was Ebisu beer and it was delicious. The appetizers were all great, especially the marinated pumpkin. Then, before the pizza arrived, we ordered white wine. The Margherita pizza was so good and we finished it quickly. We also ordered red wine before the main dish of pork arrived. I'm sorry for ordering drinks so many times even though they were busy. The staff was working hard but still managed to smile and provide great service. The pork was incredibly tender and melted in my mouth. We even asked for seconds. The dessert that day was Bonne and a fruit platter. The Bonne was a cocoa pudding and it was very smooth and delicious. We finished with espresso. The total for the two of us was a little over 8000 yen. If we didn't drink alcohol, it would have been 3980 yen. I would like to go back for dinner next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I made a reservation on Tabelog with my friends saying "I want to eat delicious Italian food". The restaurant was a bit away from Kyobashi Station and had a hidden gem vibe. Inside, there were counter seats, tables for two, and larger tables at the back. The restaurant was non-smoking, so smokers were seen smoking outside. First, we had a assorted appetizer plate with various dishes, which felt like a great deal for the price. I will definitely order this again next time. Then we had pizza, and I chose the "Siciliana" with tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, anchovy, olive, capers, and basil. It was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The pasta we ordered was the "Napoli-style Carbonara" with beef cheek instead of bacon. The texture was different from traditional Carbonara, but it was still good. The vegetables for the Bagna Cauda were fresh and the homemade sauce was flavorful. The highlight of the meal was definitely the delicious pizza. I would love to visit this restaurant again.

I visited an Italian restaurant near Kyobashi that I had been interested in from gourmet TV shows and magazines. Due to the Golden Week holidays and the emergency declaration for COVID-19 prevention, many places were closed, but this restaurant was open. There were only two groups of customers inside, but they seemed busy with takeout orders due to the Stay Home campaign. I ordered a Margherita pizza, a Vegetariana pizza, an original calzone-style pizza, and a penne pasta in an Arrabiata-style sauce. Looking at reviews later, I regretted not ordering the Napoli appetizer platter, but all the dishes were delicious. I want to come back for more because the Italian food here is so good!

I always wanted to go to this place because there is a big sign in the middle of the sidewalk that catches your attention. Finally, I was able to go today after making a reservation because it's always full. I ordered the assorted appetizers for today, and it had a great presentation and portion size. It was delicious.
