The Italian restaurant is located very close to my workplace. During lunchtime, it is always crowded with people waiting! However, when I took a chance and entered the restaurant, there were only two seats available at the counter! The lunch options are limited to set courses, including a pasta course, a course with fish as the main dish, and a double main course (reservation only). I ordered the pasta course and the course with fish. The appetizer platter was exciting with a variety of dishes. I also ordered an Italian beer, Peroni, which was light and refreshing, perfect for the meal. The oven-baked flounder was delicious with tender meat. We each selected two pasta dishes and shared them to taste. The dessert and drinks included in the course made it a satisfying lunch experience. This restaurant is worth looking forward to for dinner as well. It is better to make a reservation before visiting.

I used it for lunch. It seems that the menu has changed from April, and it was limited to a certain number of people. The previous menu had a plate with many different types of dishes and it was delicious. The pasta was also made with chewy fresh pasta. The most impressive part was the dessert, a tea panna cotta! It had just the right amount of sweetness, and I wanted to eat more of it.

It's been a while since I visited. I ordered what I wanted to eat a la carte. Overall, it was delicious, but the pizza and pasta were especially tasty. I ate to my heart's content, drank, and enjoyed Italian cuisine at a reasonable price of around 6,000 to 7,000 yen.

Arrived at 11:45 on Saturday (opening at 12:00) and there were 2 people (1 group) waiting in line. When the restaurant opened at 12:00, 10 people (5 groups) entered all at once. The tables were full except for the counter seats. By 12:45, there were 5 more people waiting in line. We ordered the pasta course for 1500 yen which included pasta (Pancetta Amatriciana) and a drink (iced coffee). Additionally, we ordered a Margherita pizza for 1100 yen. The fresh pasta was hot and chewy, blending well with the tomato sauce. The Margherita pizza was crispy with plenty of cheese, very delicious! I was in the mood for lots of tomato sauce, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The dessert, ice cream and chocolate, had a smooth texture and was not lacking in quality. It was a satisfying lunch with great value for money.

All-you-can-drink course for 4,400 yen. The organizer actually forgot to order the all-you-can-drink option, but despite that, they graciously allowed us to switch to it midway through (after everyone had a few drinks). The meal was not downgraded as is common with set courses, with generous portions of meat, fish, and pasta, all delicious and served with great care. (Forgot to take a photo of the antipasto) The popularity of the restaurant is well-deserved!

I visited on the last day of my Kyushu trip. The food was delicious and everything was great. We went in without a reservation, and it seemed like the other customers were ordering a course meal, while we were the only ones ordering a la carte. The female staff was a bit pushy, which felt a bit uncomfortable, but overall it was a good restaurant.

Dinner time at the popular Italian restaurant, Scassacazzi, in Kokura, Kitakyushu City. The restaurant is small and cozy, located about a 5-minute walk from Kokura Station, with both counter and table seating available. We made a reservation and were seated at a table. When we arrived early, there were empty seats, but within 30 minutes, the restaurant was full. Truly a popular spot! We started with a bottle of red wine. We ordered dishes a la carte. - The appetizer platter included prosciutto with melon, caprese, quiche, and more. All five items paired perfectly with the wine. - The oven-baked lamb was seasoned with rosemary, tender and flavorful without any gaminess. It went well with the red wine. - The tomato sauce with plenty of Buzen oysters was delicious, coating the pasta perfectly. - The seafood aqua pazza was fragrant with olive oil and seafood. A whole sea bream with mussels and clams in the soup was delightful. The restaurant was full, so the dishes were served slowly, allowing us to leisurely enjoy our wine. It was a delightful dining experience. Thank you!

I went to lunch with a friend. The Italian restaurant is run by a chef who trained in Italy. The place is located in Kyomachi 1-chome, along "Chuugindori," two doors down from the popular meat fried rice restaurant, "Musume." The interior is not very spacious, with two counter seats and table seats available. There are three lunch menu options: Pasta a la carte for 1000 yen, Pasta course for 1300 yen, and Special course for 2000 yen. Both my friend and I ordered the Special course. I chose the most popular dish, Wagyu beef cheek ragu sauce for an additional 200 yen, while my friend chose Pancetta Amatriciana. The Special course includes salad, appetizer, bread, main dish, pasta, dessert, and a drink. The salad had mizuna and corn, the bread was crispy, and the omelette with vegetables and bacon was fluffy and delicious. The Wagyu beef cheek ragu sauce was made with homemade pasta, thin flat noodles that were tender and flavorful. The Pancetta Amatriciana had thick, chewy noodles that paired well with the saltiness of the pancetta and the acidity of the tomato sauce. The oven-baked red sea bream had crispy skin and moist flesh with a well-seasoned taste. It was served with Genovese sauce. For dessert, we had panna cotta and vanilla ice cream, and I chose iced coffee for my drink. The restaurant's name comes from the owner chef's nickname during his time training in Italy. When asked about it, he said it doesn't have much meaning. The restaurant is popular, even on weekdays there can be a line during lunchtime. Some people may have to share a table.

The restaurant we were planning to go to was closed, so my partner and I decided to try "Scaccia Catzi" instead. There was no line since it was past 1 pm. The interior was dimly lit, but still quite busy. We started with some drinks - the draft beer (Malt's) was delicious. The salad was fresh and tasty, with a good mix of vegetables. My partner really enjoyed it. For the main course, we had the special pasta of the day - clam tomato cream sauce pasta. The cream sauce was incredibly flavorful, and the fresh pasta made it even better. The Margherita pizza was also delicious, with crispy edges. The hot coffee was excellent, slightly bitter but easy to drink. The dessert wasn't too sweet, just right. Overall, the food was delicious, and we will definitely be back.

It's already a popular restaurant in Kokura, so there's not much to say, but the fresh pasta was chewy, and today's pasta made with Buzen Sea oysters was both delicious and a great deal. The firm texture of the oysters, combined with the pasta, was perfect for when you really want to enjoy a pasta dish. I opted for the special lunch course because I also wanted to have some fish, and even then, it was only 2000 yen. I left completely satisfied. It's a casual Italian restaurant that I would definitely want to visit again. I can't help but think that if I want to eat pasta from a certain chain restaurant, I should come here, but be prepared to line up before opening time during lunch hours, so I recommend arriving a little early.

Visited a restaurant known for its delicious fresh pasta. Passed by the restaurant on a weekday and saw a long line, making me curious. Visited on a Saturday at 13:30 and it was almost full, but managed to get a table for two. The pasta lunch set was around 1200 yen, which includes a choice of pasta, salad, appetizer, dessert, and a mini coffee. The daily special was fugu and vegetable pasta, which I found unique and decided to try. It was delicious, with fugu, zucchini, and leafy greens. The acrylic panels separating tables were large and provided good COVID-19 measures, but made it hard to hear conversations due to the loud environment. The pasta was indeed fresh and chewy. The mini coffee was served in an espresso cup, which left me wanting more. The dessert compote was tasty but difficult to eat with a spoon, would have preferred a fork. Next time, I want to try the pasta with lemon or prosciutto.

I'm truly convinced that this Italian restaurant serves delicious homemade pasta with a chewy texture. The fact that you can enjoy this taste for only 1000 yen makes it a very reasonable lunch option. I believe it would be difficult to find such quality at this price in places like Tokyo. Every dish is truly delicious, and it's no wonder that many people are fans of this Italian cuisine. I visited after a long time, and the taste remains unchanged. Despite the current situation, the restaurant still attracts a steady flow of customers. The taste is just amazing! And the bread that comes with the lunch is also delicious. I think it's probably from Shiro-ya. I want everyone to know that there is such a delicious casual Italian restaurant in Kokura.

This is a popular Italian restaurant in Kitakyushu Kita-ku. It is known for its long lunch lines during the day and its extensive menu options for dinner, including vegetables, fish, meat, pasta, pizza, and desserts. Today, I tried 9 dishes from their menu: roasted vegetables, salmon carpaccio, assorted appetizers, scallop saltimbocca, beef tripe stewed in tomato, roast beef, large portion of shrimp and broccoli tagliatelle arrabbiata, pistachio crème brûlée, and grapefruit juice. Apparently, I am the first person to eat this much alone since the restaurant opened. I am a You Tube content creator under the name "Chuugui Non" and I specialize in food challenges.

I went to "Skasakakatsui" in Chuugindori, Kokurakita-ku with two friends for lunch. I had the famous Wagyu beef cheek meat ragu sauce pasta before, so this time I chose the "Bacon and Summer Vegetable Basil Pasta". My friends both had the ragu sauce pasta. The lunch set includes appetizers, salad, bread, dessert, and a drink for ¥1300 (tax included), which is very cheap! However, the basil pasta was a bit lacking in flavor. I would recommend the ragu sauce pasta to first-time visitors. But I would still like to visit this restaurant again in the future.

Special lunch for 2000 yen includes salad, baguette, appetizer, pasta, fish dish, dessert, and drink. The pasta, made with thin noodles, was delicious as it coated well with the sauce. The special lunch pasta was a creamy sea urchin pasta with a hint of lemon flavor, which was very tasty. The dessert was also homemade and delicious. A great value for money restaurant.

I visited around noon on a regular day and the restaurant was full, but I managed to get a seat just in time. I ordered a lunch set with tomato-based and carbonara pasta. I've been going to a lot of fresh pasta restaurants lately, but this place serves classic Italian pasta with a touch of sophistication. The food here is delicious.

It was around 1 o'clock on Saturday, so I was prepared to wait in line, but I was able to get inside the restaurant in about 10 minutes. I chose the lunch pasta set for 1300 yen, and selected the pasta with wagyu beef cheek ragu sauce. The meat was plentiful and delicious, and the set came with bread, salad, dessert, and a drink, so I was very satisfied.

I suddenly felt like eating pasta! After finding out that the restaurant is often fully booked for both lunch and dinner, I decided to make a reservation just in case and went there for dinner on the same day. When I arrived at the restaurant right at opening time, I was surprised to see that it was not crowded. There were limited seating options inside the small restaurant, so it might be safer to make a reservation if you are in a wheelchair. I tried the recommended appetizer, pasta with ragu sauce, fish dish, and meat dish. They were all relatively delicious, especially the appetizer left a strong impression. The restaurant is a 5-minute walk from Kokura Station. Instead of going to a chain restaurant for pasta, why not give this place a try.

There is a popular Italian restaurant for lunch. I heard about it and decided to give it a try. The restaurant was indeed busy with many customers. I ordered the set menu with beef cheek pasta. It came with salad, soup, and carpaccio, which was made with mackerel. Personally, I found the food to be average. It wasn't outstanding but not bad either. The beef cheek pasta was the same. I thought the cost performance was good, but it wasn't exceptionally delicious. Taste is subjective, so everyone has their own preferences.

Thanks to the new coronavirus situation, the sales of restaurants around Kokura Station must have drastically decreased (of course, not only in Kokura but also in other busy areas in different prefectures). However, it might not be right to say this, but the only benefit is being able to enter popular restaurants without waiting in line. I usually avoided this place during lunchtime because there was always a long line, but after the state of emergency was lifted, I went to check it out and found it empty. So, I finally visited as I had always wanted. Since I was already there, I chose the most expensive lunch menu, the "Special Course" (tax included 2,000 yen), which includes salad, appetizer, bread, pasta, main dish (fish), dessert, and a drink. The salad that arrived immediately was oily but with a strong aroma, probably due to extra virgin olive oil. The lemon juice made it refreshing and my stomach felt even emptier than before. I wanted to have seconds and even after the meal. The appetizer was described as an omelet, but it was solidly cooked and neatly cut. It wasn't just about the egg's cooking or the tasty bacon, but the overall balance was perfect, simply delicious. The omelet alone was great, but when paired with the light tomato sauce, it became even more flavorful. The coffee served at this point was a dark roast, with a heavy aroma and a rich taste. It probably contained about 10% Robusta beans blend. The garlic toast was not too oily, allowing the bread's scent to be enjoyed, and it was excellent with the tomato sauce from the previous appetizer or the sea urchin cream that came later. It had been a while since I had found garlic toast so tasty. The pasta was sea urchin cream. The sea urchin had no fishy smell and a gentle flavor. The pasta was fresh, possibly hand-made using a pasta machine. However, to be honest, the slightly chewy texture didn't match perfectly with the cream sauce, and it might have been better with dried pasta. The oven-baked red snapper that followed was in a butter sauce, which initially made me think it was another cream sauce. It had a lemon flavor and a refreshing aftertaste, with the fish perfectly cooked! The dessert was a standard type, nothing extraordinary. Well, even just this content alone for 2,000 yen was a great deal. The first half was so satisfying that the bar was set too high, and the pasta couldn't quite reach it, but the ragu sauce that the customer next to me was eating looked even more delicious than the sea urchin cream. I definitely want to come back next time for dinner, paired with wine. Oh, I am so satisfied. There are too many restaurants I like for lunch in Kokura, and I always have to think hard to narrow down my options, but now that this place is in the mix, I will have an even harder time deciding where to go next time.
