I was thinking about having Italian food in Umeda, and I found a restaurant where I could make a reservation online, and there was plenty of availability for the same day, so I decided to visit. It was a weekend, but I was glad I could make a reservation. When I arrived, about 80% of the customers were already there, so it seemed like a popular place. I ordered appetizers, pasta, main course, and dessert. The dishes were served promptly, and the staff was very polite. I had clam pasta for the pasta dish, and it was filled with plenty of clams, which was very satisfying. The pasta was well-seasoned with the saltiness of the sea and was delicious. The white wine paired well with it. For the main course, I had deer meat, and it was fantastic. The berry sauce added a fresh touch, and the accompanying vegetables were also delicious. This dish went perfectly with red wine. For dessert, I had a chocolate brulee, which was also very tasty. The restaurant is located in a slightly dark building called the Fourth Building, which may not look fancy, but it is convenient as it is close to the Higashi Umeda station. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

I made a net reservation at 18:15 on a regular day. It is a highly rated restaurant selected as one of the "Italian WEST Top 100 Restaurants 2021" located in the Osaka Station Front Building 4 basement, about a 5-minute walk from the subway "Higashi-Umeda Station". At the time of posting, they have 2 stores in Japan (Osaka, Kobe). The Osaka store, opened in 1998, is a small restaurant with a total of 46 seats. The kitchen is run by 3 staff members, and there is 1 staff member in the hall. The order I placed this time was the "Prefix Style Course where you can choose your favorite dish from the daily menu for 4880 yen". Here is the content and evaluation: 【◎, ◯, △】 Gaudante-style assorted appetizers ◎ Plated appetizers that are delicious and go well with alcohol. The pate de campagne with perfect seasoning of salt and pepper, marinated octopus and olives are excellent! The carpione of anglerfish (Nanban-zuke) with a tangy flavor really increases your appetite. Also, the frittata with tomatoes on top is great! w/ Baby leaf, cherry tomatoes, baguette 〇 The fine-textured focaccia and classic French bread are served. There are mixed opinions about the fact that butter is not included. Today's pasta 〇 You can choose from 8 recommended pasta dishes. I chose Kitara (a square-cut pasta from central Italy) with saury and grilled eggplant in Puttanesca sauce. The al dente thick noodles with a chewy texture and tomato-based sauce work well together. The main ingredients of saury and eggplant have a charming Japanese touch. w/ Olives, anchovies, capers Today's meat dish or fish dish ◎◎ You can choose from 5 options. I chose grilled Ehime prefecture red snapper with Prosecco-flavored sauce. The thick, high-quality ingredients are finished with a sauce made with sparkling wine. The medium-rare cooking with a strong saltiness is excellent. w/ Eggplant, turnip, potatoes, beets, broccoli Dessert ◎ A gentle homemade tiramisu with a raspberry sauce that goes perfectly well. Coffee ◎ A cup with a rich aroma and a smooth taste. The strength of the flavor is MEDIUM. Beer Asahi Dry Premium 560 yen 〇 The background music is Italian music! The customers are mostly couples and solo diners. The restaurant was about 30% full. The female ratio is about 60%. The current rating on Tabelog is 3.49. The well-balanced service of the hall staff and the option to choose from a variety of pasta, main dishes, and desserts are the highlights. This Italian WEST Top 100 restaurant follows the Prefix Style established at the renowned Ginza restaurant "La Bettola da Ochiai", which has been leading Japanese Italian cuisine. Thank you for the meal!

I visited a renowned restaurant located on the basement floor of Osaka Station Building No. 4 for the first time. I tried the most popular wagyu meat sauce. Hmm... it's sweet... My friend's tomato sauce is also... hmm... sweet... Osaka seems to be generally sweet, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste... Unfortunately, it wasn't to my liking. My friend, on the other hand, was very satisfied.

Chef Lunch for 2,600 yen. Pasta with a choice of three different kinds of Bucatini. It's cooked in a tomato base with olive oil and a hint of garlic. The balance is just right with the capers adding a nice touch, not too overpowering. The slightly thin wheat spaghetti has a nice aroma and is cooked perfectly al dente. It's a delicious pasta that feels like a simple and homely dish. For the main course, you can choose from three options of meat or fish. I decided to go with the pork and it was cooked tenderly with a sweet and melt-in-your-mouth fatty texture. Although I was a bit concerned about the pinkness of the pork, I was reassured that it was slow-cooked at a low temperature. It turned out to be delicious and tender pork. Even after 5 hours, I still felt satisfied and wanted to eat more. The meal also comes with a salad and coffee/tea, but no dessert. This restaurant is casual, reasonably priced, and great for everyday dining.

11:30 50-minute wait (2nd round) A lunch ¥1,400 (tax included) * Appetizer (salad) * 2 types of bread * Soup (cold potato soup) * Today's pasta (homemade tagliatelle with plenty of seafood in oil base) * Coffee (or tea, espresso) The cold soup had a thick potage-like texture. The pasta was full of clams. I skipped dessert, but I was quite full. The service at the restaurant was good, and the food was delicious. No wonder it's always crowded. If I had to point out something, the customers were mostly older. It had a calm atmosphere.

I had a delicious pasta at the restaurant Chef Ranch. It cost 2,400 yen, which is a great deal. I had the pasta with ragu sauce, and even though the noodles were thin, they had a good chewy texture and were cooked perfectly. The ragu sauce had a rich flavor, and it paired well with bread. The fish was just average.

I went for lunch. This time, I had the festival lunch. It's conveniently located, yet very affordable, and it comes with soup and dessert. I was full by the end. Since it was Sunday, there were many young customers, creating a lively atmosphere which was great for us who enjoy chatting. We enjoyed the meal.

I visited this restaurant many years ago, and I remember the food being punchy and salty. On this particular weekend day, after finishing some errands in Umeda, I suddenly craved pasta and decided to visit the restaurant. It was lunchtime, and the place was almost full, with many couples dining. I ordered the "Holiday Chef Lunch ¥2,600 (tax included)" and asked for a glass of white wine. The meal included Italian panzanella salad (salami, olives, cheese), pasta of the day (I chose cold capellini), choice of fish or meat dish (I chose fish), and coffee. The salad was generous and delicious, the pasta was tomato-heavy with a nice zucchini accent, and the sautéed sea bass with clam white wine sauce was light and flavorful. Overall, it's a serious Italian restaurant near the station where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine at a reasonable price. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered a la carte, but the dishes were served in a nice order like a course meal, which was great. I was expecting pizza since it's Italian cuisine, but it wasn't on the menu, so that was a bit disappointing. However, all the dishes were delicious. It was quiet on a Monday, so I was able to relax and I would like to visit again.

A restaurant that seems suitable for friends or couples in any situation. The flavors are not too strong, allowing you to enjoy the ingredients. The pasta was nice and chewy. Personally, I wished the meat was cooked a bit more, but overall, the meal from appetizers to dessert was generous. The all-you-can-drink option was also great. Next time, I would like to try ordering a la carte instead of a course menu.

I was surprised and excited by the line before the opening. The lunch sets are quite reasonable and there are plenty of choices, so you're sure to find something you want to eat. The portions of pasta are generous, so you won't leave hungry. The restaurant quickly fills up and customers come and go, so it's a good idea to make a reservation for peace of mind.

I met up with a friend in Umeda for lunch after a long time, and we decided to visit this place again because it was delicious last time. We didn't have a reservation, so we had to wait for about 30 minutes. The interior of the restaurant has a calm atmosphere with brick walls. This time, we tried the chef's lunch set. There were several pasta options to choose from, and my friend chose olive tomato sauce and mozzarella and basil tomato sauce penne, while I went for seafood oil-based fettuccine. The pasta was delicious with chewy thick noodles. For the main dish, you can choose between fish or meat, and I chose pork with herb sauce. The meat was tender and roasted, with the sauce adding a nice touch. As always, the food was delicious, the restaurant had a nice Italian trattoria atmosphere, and my friend was happy, so I'm glad we decided to come here.

A Lunch Set includes salad, soup (chilled potato soup), pasta (homemade tagliatelle with seafood in oil-based sauce), bread and focaccia for ¥1,100 (tax included). Add iced coffee for an additional ¥200 (tax included). Total cost is ¥1,300 (tax included).

My favorite shop in Osaka Station Building, I have visited many times. It is always full during lunchtime. It is relaxing and comfortable, making conversations flow easily. The pasta is authentic and delicious. The desserts are also well-prepared and I think it offers good value for the price!

I was looking for a place to have a daytime drinking girls' gathering in Umeda, and I discovered that Osteria Gaudante, where I had visited for lunch a few times, offers daytime drinking. It was my first time using a course menu, so I didn't know how much food would be served, but from appetizers to risotto & pasta, main course, and dessert, everyone was satisfied with the taste and portion. What's more, if there are four or more girls in the gathering, you can stay for up to three hours, which was really great for a daytime drinking girls' gathering. It can be tiring to move to another place with multiple people after drinking (laughs).

I used this restaurant to celebrate a friend's wedding. On the day, there were various accidents and the reservation time passed without everyone being there, so we couldn't start on time and were in trouble. The staff at the restaurant came up with a solution and offered to prepare dishes separately for those who had arrived and those who hadn't yet. I was really impressed by this warm and thoughtful response, as it was the first time I had experienced such kind service. The food was delicious, with careful presentation and seasoning. The focaccia was particularly good, with just the right amount of sweetness - I wanted to have seconds! The cake we ordered separately was also delicious, with the perfect level of sweetness. The staff were all friendly and kind, making it a wonderful restaurant. We are grateful that all the members were able to have a great time and make lasting memories. Thank you very much!

Osteria Gaudante in front of Osaka Station Building No. 4 is a shop that I had been interested in for a while. It's a popular place with long lines, but I lined up a little early so I was able to enter as soon as it opened. First, the minestrone soup was delicious. The appetizers were also luxurious. The asparagus quiche on French bread topped with ham mousse, bonito sashimi, and black olive pasta all had rich flavors. The seafood oil-based tagliatelle was also very delicious. After filling up, I headed to the Takatsuki Jazz Street.

On a regular day, I visited without a reservation. While wandering around looking for a place to go for my second stop, I found a vacant seat. I remembered enjoying a delicious lunch there before, so I decided to enter. I ordered a platter of prosciutto and cheese, a fresh fish carpaccio, and tagliolini with fresh tomato sauce and homemade squid ink. Since it was my second stop, I ordered a smaller amount of food. I chose the most popular pasta dish, and it was delicious. I'm not knowledgeable about wine, so I asked the staff for recommendations, and they provided very polite and attentive service.

Farewell Party♪⁡Had a reunion with my colleagues who are graduating from the company. It's been a while since we had a drinking party like this. It's good that it happened after the end of the corona situation. I was asked to be the organizer, and I was quite worried about the members because they can drink a lot, but I finally decided on this place. It's located halfway between the office and Osaka Station, and they offer all-you-can-drink at a Western-style restaurant. The restaurant had a high score on Tabelog, and I've been interested in it for a while.⁡Salute Course 6,100 yen⁡It's a plan with 5 dishes and 100 minutes of all-you-can-drink.

When I joined my current workplace, I was taken care of by some senior colleagues, and I recently met them after a long time for a lunch before the pandemic. We reserved the "Girls' Night Out Course" for 6 people, including both men and women. I was asked to mention any dislikes or allergies, so I confirmed with the members and made a note of it (chicken, bamboo shoots, eggplant, apple). I also called to confirm because I was worried (I am the most junior and not good at organizing). During the call, they read out my note to confirm. I felt a bit embarrassed, but I confirmed that it was okay. However, on the day of the lunch, chicken was served despite my note. It might have been difficult to change the menu since it was already listed. Also, the all-you-can-drink option included non-alcoholic cocktails, but it felt more like sparkling wine and juice. It was a bit disappointing, but the food was delicious, and the staff kindly served us without any issues. The waitstaff also paid attention to the progress of our meal, which was greatly appreciated. Although I forgot to take photos of the main meat dish and dessert, everyone finished their meals. The time flew by, and later I realized that this course was a carb festival! However, one of my admired senior colleagues said, "The food was delicious," so I was personally satisfied with this gathering. Next time, I would like to try a different type of dining experience instead of a course meal.

I visited the restaurant for lunch on a Sunday and although there was a line, it only took about 10 minutes to get inside as the place was spacious. I ordered the Dessert Set Lunch B for 1,550 yen. I chose the seafood tagliatelle pasta as it looked very delicious. The noodles were chewy with a good texture, and I was already satisfied with just that. The seafood sauce complemented the pasta perfectly and was very tasty. This was my second visit, and once again, I was highly satisfied. I definitely want to visit this restaurant regularly.
