I use Tabelog as a diary, so I often write about my daily life before getting into the restaurant review. Lately, I've been talking a lot about caregiving because it's been a big part of my life. Even though my parents have passed away, I'm still caring for my in-laws, and I work with many older colleagues who also face caregiving challenges. This issue is always on my mind because I know I may need care in the future. On this particular day, my wife was away caring for her father, so I went to a restaurant in Naka-Meguro for dinner. The restaurant is run by Comeal Co., Ltd., which was founded by Shinya Nishiyama in 2006. The company operates several brands, including the one I visited, as well as Chinese and Japanese restaurants, an oden shop, and a traditional Japanese cuisine restaurant. The restaurant I went to specializes in Roman-style spaghetti, which is a bit unique compared to their other establishments. The restaurant has been open for 10 years, and they recently opened a second location in Shinagawa Station. The restaurant is located near Tokyu Naka-Meguro Station, and when I arrived around 6:40 pm, there were a few customers already seated. The menu offers a variety of Roman-style spaghetti dishes, with the regular size priced at 730 yen, which is quite reasonable considering the current economic situation. I chose a unique pasta dish and enjoyed my meal in the cozy restaurant.

I was surprised that even with a large portion, a salad set, and pasta all priced at around ¥1300, the pasta alone is only ¥730. It's quite cost-effective and I can feel the efforts of the restaurant. The mini foot soldier, while I was engrossed in the Napolitan, was also delicious. One thing though, my white T-shirt... The restaurant was run by the owner and two female staff members. It was a bit chaotic around 6 pm, but still very attentive service. It was a pleasant dining experience! Definitely recommended.

I was completely satisfied with 300g. I actually got really full. I ordered the Uni Shoyu Spaghetti this time, made with chewy fresh pasta. The noodles with uni blended in were delicious, and the spear squid and scallops were also very tasty. The tarako cream pasta my companion ordered was also delicious, so I might try that next time. It was delicious!

Around 3 pm, I entered the restaurant without waiting and sat at the counter table. Even at this time, the place was about 70-80% full. I ordered the special dish of the month, Uni (sea urchin) noodles. As expected, the homemade noodles at the main branch were delicious and paired well with the Uni. The salted kelp was a nice accent. Thank you for the meal!

Before work lunch, today I got off at Naka-Meguro and went to Sekiya Spaghetti. I had tried to visit three times before but the timing never worked out. I entered at 11:30 and there were 11 customers already inside. The restaurant had a counter in a C-shape that was visible from outside, and surprisingly, there were 4 table seats in the back which made the place feel spacious. I ordered the "Shoyu Basilico (regular size)" for 730 yen and the "Soup Salad Set" which included onion soup and a choice of salad for an additional 350 yen. There were 10 salad options to choose from. After 5 minutes, the soup and salad arrived. The salad was served in a pasta plate and had a surprisingly large volume. The onion soup was delicious with onions, croutons, and a creamy texture. The salad was a generous portion that could fulfill your daily vegetable intake. The dressing was refreshing and tasty. The spaghetti was served 10 minutes after I entered the restaurant. It was a substantial portion of 300g with ingredients such as onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, bacon, shrimp, shiso leaves, tomatoes, basil, garlic soy sauce, and plenty of toppings. The pasta was not al dente but more like the softer pasta you would find in a cafe. It wasn't exceptionally delicious, but it was satisfying for those who want to eat until full. The total bill was 1,080 yen. Thank you for the meal.

I entered the restaurant around 2:00 pm on a holiday. It wasn't full, but customers were coming and going even though it was past lunchtime. I thought there were only counter seats as I walked by, but surprisingly, there were about four tables for 2-4 people, so visiting with a group seemed possible. (For groups of 6 or more, you might have to wait a bit to get a table.) About 80% of the customers were women, making it easy for even solo diners to enjoy lunch. I ordered the Basil Salt, which was a signature dish. It had plenty of ingredients, and even the regular size was quite voluminous at 300g. The taste was delicious, but the slightly chewy, thick spaghetti made me feel like I was eating a fancy yakisoba... It might be a bit different if you're looking for traditional Italian pasta. If I have the chance next time, I'd like to try the meat sauce. They also had chili oil for flavoring on the table.

【Good Points】 - You can quickly enjoy a homey pasta dish. - The fresh pasta is deliciously chewy. - Quite affordable. - Even the regular size is cost-effective at 300g. - They offer beer and wine. 【Points to Note】 - It's always crowded and you may have to wait in line (but the turnover is fast, so it's usually around 10 minutes).

Nakameguro [Sekiya Spaghetti] @sekiyaspaghetti I finally got to visit this popular Romesupa restaurant. I had the soy basilico pasta and soup salad set. The chewy noodles and ingredients were deliciously intertwined. Next time, I want to try the Napolitan! #SekiyaSpaghetti #Romesupa #StreetSpaghetti #ThickNoodles #SoyBasilico #ChewyNoodles #NakameguroGourmet #Lunch #FoodiesWanted

Order: Tarako Cream (730 yen) and Tomato Salt Basil (special) (900 yen). This place seems to prioritize speed and quantity. Not recommended for those seeking flavor. Eating here honestly felt like a task halfway through... Well, I guess it's all part of the experience. Thank you. The spicy oil was insanely spicy.

Shop Name: Sekiya Spaghetti Access: 5 minutes walk from Naka-Meguro Station Time: Around 2 pm Ordered Items: Shoyu Basilico, Soup Salad Set Price: 1,080 yen Crowdedness: No waiting time (later, about 2 groups had to wait) Recommendation: 90 out of 100 points

Arrabbiata flat noodles for 730 yen and a soup salad set for 350 yen, totaling 1080 yen. The portion size is around 300 grams before boiling. The taste is mild and not very punchy, but the price is cheap and the coriander salad was delicious. I might consider revisiting this place.

It's rare to find tarako cream pasta with shrimp in it! The addition of shiso and seaweed on top gives it a unique taste. The flavors may be a bit uneven, so I recommend mixing it well before eating. The chewy noodles go well with it. Among the three types of cabbage and onion marinated salads, I chose the marinated one. It's perfect for a hot day, not too sour or sharp, so even those who don't like vinegar dishes might enjoy it. It's a great palate cleanser after pasta. The carrot and coriander salad seemed popular with others, but it feels more like a delicious home-cooked spaghetti rather than a restaurant dish. Thank you for the meal!

■I have been here several times and the food is consistently delicious.■Even on weekdays, there is often a line during lunchtime. But the turnover is fast!■This time, I ordered the special and the recommended dishes. The special had chewy noodles and a refreshing tomato base. The recommended dish had a good mix with the pumpkin noodles, giving it a sweet flavor. Both dishes were full of ingredients and very satisfying to eat.

I ordered a regular size Napolitan, onion soup, and a salad with carrots and cilantro. It was my first time trying a salad with cilantro and carrots, and I found the seasoning to be flavorful. The Napolitan had a strong tomato flavor and tasted better than average. Thank you for the meal.

I was prepared to wait in line to eat Napolitan, but when I arrived at the restaurant around 5 pm, there were only about 2 customers inside. I resisted the temptation of carbonara and ordered Napolitan without onions. The pasta noodles were chewy and delicious, although it didn't have much of a tarako flavor. I thought I couldn't finish the 300g portion, but surprisingly, I did. While eating, I wondered if I could finish Napolitan with this amount. Next time, I want to resist the temptation of tarako and shrimp and try Napolitan. It was a bit disappointing that the attitude of the waitstaff was not very good.

Soy Basil Ramen for 730 yen is indeed as good as the reviews say, but Japone's Jariko is far more delicious. It's a shame about the poor customer service from the young female staff member. I think she just needs proper training to improve.

I revisited the restaurant at Nakameguro Festival. I was able to enter in about 15 minutes. The pasta was reliably delicious. This time they had squid ink pasta, but it was with whitebait so I decided not to get it. I hope they bring back the spear squid pasta from before. Thank you for the meal.

The noodles were chewy and delicious. They have limited-time menu options which keep things interesting, so I highly recommend it. It's currently my favorite pasta place! I tried the Napolitan and the limited-time menu items. I can't wait to try the limited-time menu again soon!!! The prices are surprisingly affordable.

On a certain weekday evening, I decided to head to this place where I could quickly grab a bite to eat before going home early to watch the movies I had been saving. It was my first visit, but the Romesupa (spaghetti roadside restaurant) had a rather stylish and trendy vibe. It's important not to evaluate a soba roadside restaurant using the same standards as a proper soba shop, or to judge a casual conveyor belt sushi restaurant as if it were a high-end sushi establishment. However, this place made me forget about all that with its clean and modern atmosphere. Upon entering, there were counter seats for about 12 people in the front, and table seats for about 10 people in the back. It was about 70% full, but I was told to sit wherever I liked at the large table near the entrance. The background music was nice jazz. I started with a beer and looked over the menu, but couldn't find what I was looking for. So, I settled for the recommended Thick-cut Bacon and Mini Tomato with Large Basil Genovese (hereafter referred to as ABMTG) for 730 yen including tax, and a salad as the 10th item for 250 yen including tax. If it's not basil, then it's not Genovese, right? But one must not think that way. This is a roadside restaurant, and besides, authentic Genovese in Italy refers to a beef stew (and its pasta), not something made with basil. Before long, the salad arrived, which I had underestimated for 250 yen, but it was quite a generous portion and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a simple French-style dressing that made the salad delicious. As I was enjoying the salad, the ABMTG arrived. I wanted to finish the salad first, but this is a roadside restaurant, so I couldn't complain. I paused the salad and took a bite of the ABMTG. The tomato sauce was rich and incredibly delicious, and the thick-cut bacon was also delicious. The noodles were a bit soft? The sign outside said "freshly boiled," right? The noodles are fresh, so it's impossible to achieve al dente, but they were surprisingly soft. I remember reading on the website that they use durum wheat. Durum is the Latin word for "hard," and that's the English reading. It's amazing how they managed to make the noodles so soft. Does "freshly boiled" mean that they quickly boil the noodles again when an order comes in? The man sitting two seats away from me was slurping his noodles enthusiastically, and the woman across from me was eating with a plate in hand, which gave me a good impression. Thank you for the meal. *Note: There is a large step at the entrance, making it difficult for wheelchair access. *The spacing between tables at the large table is somewhat narrow. *Children should be fine to visit.

It was a late lunch, so I was able to enter without waiting in line around 12:40. I ordered the Napolitan, which I haven't had in a while. I personally love the unique thick and chewy noodles of this restaurant and the nostalgic taste of Napolitan. You can also enjoy changing the flavor by adding powdered cheese on the table. Repeat customers of this restaurant should definitely crave Napolitan once in a while. Highly recommended.

I visited during the evening when it was not crowded. There were two customers before me, but they finished eating and left quickly. I sat at the corner of the counter and ordered the soy sauce basil pasta. Another customer who ordered after me received their Neapolitan pasta first, which made me a bit anxious, but my order arrived about a minute later, so I felt relieved. It seems that the cooking time varies depending on the menu ordered. The soy sauce basil pasta, a popular menu item, was delicious as always, and I was very satisfied.
