As the end of the year approaches, I visited a group of three men for a boys' night out. While a girls' night out sounds stylish, the term boys' night out has a rough connotation, doesn't it? (laughs) I actually had never visited this place before, despite it being in business for a long time. It's more pasta-focused rather than traditional Italian, with a focus on fresh pasta. Fresh spring rolls, prosciutto... anything with "fresh" in the name can't be bad, right? (laughs) As expected from a boys' night out, we ordered three large servings of pasta right off the bat. The extra 200 yen for a larger portion only applies to the noodles, so it's understandable that the dish may look light on toppings. But about the fresh pasta... some people say it's chewy, but it didn't quite feel that way to me. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to it. I think I prefer regular dried pasta cooked al dente. The drinks were cheap thanks to happy hour, but the portions were small to begin with. It might be better suited for families looking to enjoy pasta and pizza rather than those seeking a traditional Italian experience. Thanks for the meal!

The drinks may be small in size, but the café latte is delicious. The pasta is tasty, and the individual dishes are also delicious. The menu is varied, making it easy to have lunch, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are all really nice! The salad, bread, and pasta are all delicious! Overall, I was satisfied with the amount of food I received.

I suddenly felt like eating pasta and decided to visit this restaurant for the first time. I had heard from a friend that the food was delicious. I tried the salad, seafood Genovese pasta, carbonara, and chicken and basil pizza, and all of them were very tasty. The pasta was chewy and satisfying to eat. Although I went for the pasta, personally, I think the pizza was the best. It was delicious! (^-^)/

We shared a set meal for two among three people. It included 2 plates of pasta, 1 pizza, salad, garlic bread, and drinks, which was a great deal. Even though we had to order an extra dish because we were three people, the total bill was 6,000 yen with change. The pasta and pizza were delicious!

It was delicious. I had salmon and broccoli cream spaghetti and margherita pizza. I forgot to take a picture of the margherita pizza.

The salad was delicious. I tried several types of pasta, but only the spaghetti in the aglio e olio was chewy. The baked oysters were also delicious.

Carbonara and Margherita.

The natto and lotus root pasta with Japanese-style seasoning was delicious.

I enjoyed all the dishes, but what stood out the most was the great value for the price. I even thought there might have been a mistake in the bill because it was so reasonable. I wish more restaurants like this would open up.

It was lively and fun, and the pasta was delicious!

The pasta and pizza were good, and the staff's service was great. However, it was very hot inside, and I left sweating. Please take early measures to fix the air conditioning.

I ordered a set of pasta and pizza! It was delicious!

I had been interested in this restaurant for a while. I tried to come during the day before, but it was full and I had to give up. Today, I came in the evening. I had a hard time deciding, but I chose the value set for two. It cost 3000 yen and included two spaghetti dishes, one pizza, mini salad, dessert, and two drinks. The meat sauce spaghetti had firm noodles and the taste was really delicious! The pizza was bigger than I expected and had a lot of volume. Everything else was also delicious. Thank you very much!

There is a shop visible from the train window on the Hankyu Takarazuka Line, heading from Fushimi Station to Sone Station. As a "noodle lover," I had been curious about it for a long time. On a weekday afternoon when I had a day off from work, I decided to go there for lunch. It was close to 2:30 pm, but they still served lunch, which made me happy. The interior of the restaurant was crowded with people having lunch during their work break, as well as a group of housewives, even though it was this time of day. I was surprised! I wanted to have a drink, so I ordered a pasta dish. There were several types of cold pasta available, suitable for the season. Among them, I chose a "Bonito Tataki Cold Pasta," which you wouldn't typically see at other restaurants. I paired it with white wine (by the glass). It was a great substitute for an aperitif. The chilled glass and wine were delicious! It had a smooth taste, so I could drink it quickly (laughs). When I ordered a second glass, the pasta I had been waiting for finally arrived. The aroma and flavor of ingredients like shiso and myoga were a nice accent. The Bonito Tataki had a good thickness, providing a satisfying texture. The slightly thin pasta was well blended with the refreshing broth, making it easy to eat and enjoy. If I were to mention any desires, I would have liked a bit more quantity of both the ingredients and pasta. Also, perhaps because lunchtime had passed, the staff quickly retreated to the back, so I had to go to the staff room next to the kitchen to ask for a wine refill, which was disappointing. The food was delicious, so I was truly disappointed by the lack of attention from the service staff. I think the staff should wait in the dining area as long as there is at least one customer. Well, despite the dissatisfaction with the service, I liked the fact that I could drink in the afternoon, the calm atmosphere of the dimly lit interior, and most importantly, that I could have a meal anytime during business hours. I will go back again when I want to relax alone and indulge a little. I just hope that there won't be a group of women there next time.

I heard there was a pasta restaurant near Hankyu Suitengumae Station, so I went to check it out. It seems to be affiliated with ALBAR Ishibashi, which I visited some time ago. This time, I had pasta, a mini salad, and a golden foam drink. The pasta menu is quite varied, with different combinations of sauce and ingredients. It feels more like a local pasta shop rather than a fancy Italian restaurant. I had the tomato sauce-based pasta with young chicken and mushrooms. Interestingly, I realized later that it was the same dish I had at ALBAR (*^_^*) The tomato sauce had a slight oiliness, but the chewy texture of the fresh pasta was nice. The mushrooms included were mushroom, shimeji, enoki, eryngii, and shiitake. There was a generous amount of young chicken, and they provided grated cheese in advance. The service was provided by a young lady, but a bit more friendliness would be appreciated. Overall, the impression was somewhere between a family restaurant and a trattoria. The restaurant is spacious, but the counter seats facing the wall felt a bit cramped.
