When I realized, it was already the beginning of 2018. I had been neglecting to update my reviews on Tabelog, which I should have done by the end of last year. I'll get back on track and start posting them little by little. (laughs) Week 4 of October 2017 - I was invited to have a light wine before heading home for the first time. The restaurant was quite spacious and not too crowded. In the end, we ended up ordering two bottles of wine and getting different types of prosciutto for seconds (laughs). I really love Italian prosciutto, and the one served here is generously portioned, which makes me happy. Wine, prosciutto, wine, prosciutto... it seems to go on infinitely! (laughs) Lastly, we had the tiramisu, which is said to be the best in the world! Creamy and flavorful but not heavy... it was incredibly delicious! The wine selection is good, and the hospitality is wonderful. Despite being a bit pricey, it's a convenient and welcoming restaurant. I would love to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

The place was cozy, with shade from the sun and protection from the rain. The entrance was a bit hard to find (often mistaken for Umeda Hankyu Beer Garden), but they served grilled chicken, pork, and sausages individually, while everything else was all-you-can-eat and drink.

Tiramisu is famous at this shop, so I visited and tried their authentic Italian Tiramisu. The cream was smooth and paired well with the refreshing espresso. The catchphrase was "world's best," so I savored each bite. I also had a Cafe au Lait with more milk, which was gentle and had a mild aroma. My friend ordered the lunch set, which included free refills of bread. They also got some delicious prosciutto. Many people were leisurely enjoying their lunch, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

A shop that specializes in selling prosciutto. The assorted prosciuttos they offer are truly satisfying! There are some that are creamy and tender, while others are light and fluffy, and some have a fragrant pistachio aroma. They are unlike any prosciutto I've had before. They would go well with wine and other drinks. The desserts were also delicious. There is a unique complexity of flavors that you won't find elsewhere. It's clear that they are made with great care. I definitely want to visit this shop again.

The staff were very friendly, there were a wide variety of dishes and drinks in the buffet, and the price of 4500 yen is cheap! I mistakenly thought it was the beer garden at Hankyu Department Store. It was not crowded here, and we were able to enjoy our time comfortably!

The large and bright windows create an atmosphere suitable for hosting a lively wedding reception or a second party. For lunch, there are three course options to choose from, and I picked the middle one! (2900 yen) First, a plate of three types of prosciutto, salad, and bread was served, and I chose fish as my main dish (with an additional 500 yen). I dipped the bread in basil sauce and enjoyed it! The fish was fresh and delicious (it was sea bream!). Three pieces of bread were served warm and I even had a second serving. For dessert, I had tiramisu, which was simply delicious. The hot coffee was served piping hot and everything was timed perfectly. In total, it cost 3400 yen. Thank you for the wonderful meal, I will definitely bring my mother here next time!

I started early and got a little discount. The main dish was delicious, but the vegetables at the buffet were also tasty. It was nice to have Campari available for all-you-can-drink. We chose a table with a roof, so it was fine even when it rained, but during the discounted hours, we were hit by the hot air from the outdoor unit, making it quite hot... It wasn't until after 6 pm that the cool air finally came.

- Food... Course for 5,000 yen - The meal includes a choice of pasta, salad, pizza, and dessert. The meaty Bolognese pasta was wonderful! The pizza was not the usual Neapolitan type, but this style was delicious as well. The Tiramisu dessert had a fluffy texture that was delightful! It was a satisfying course for 5,000 yen. - Atmosphere... The restaurant is very spacious with outdoor terrace seating available.

I attended a celebration for a young colleague's promotion at the workplace. The all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat course for 4,500 yen was a great deal. We made a reservation for 6:30 PM and although the terrace seats were a bit hot at first, the evening breeze soon made it pleasantly cool. There was a wide variety of drinks available, which was nice, but I wish there were a few more options for food. However, I left feeling full and satisfied.

Osaka City Kita-ku. Hankyu Umeda Main Store 13F. Italian buffet on the terrace. Operated by Potomac Co., Ltd., a company that operates numerous brands such as Konana. Popular restaurant from northern Italy, Verona, opened in Umeda. You walk through the store to get to the terrace seats. Since it is a courtyard, it is shaded except at midday. The heat is somewhat bearable. The staff said, "If you made a net reservation, it's 500 yen off!" Σ(・□・；) The beer garden (4,500 yen → 4,000 yen/person) offers a terrace seat with an all-you-can-drink course. It includes appetizers, fries, pasta, gelato, and a main plate. 1) All-you-can-drink beer, wine, various cocktails, and soft drinks. They automatically pour beer for you to start. I ended up drinking a Sicilian lemon sour and even had a Campari champagne cocktail, which was dangerous! I finished with sangria and was very satisfied. 2) Main dishes, all-you-can-eat, Italian BBQ plate. ① Roasted chicken leg, ② Grilled sausage, and ③ Grilled porchetta, which was juicy pork belly. 3) All-you-can-eat items may vary depending on the ingredients and time of day. ① Salad and appetizers, ② Fried foods like French fries and fried chicken, ③ Pasta, and ④ Italian dessert gelato. There was a variety of fresh vegetables, a jumbo sausage with pistachio, and a choice of chocolate gelato. The meat dishes, salad options, and variety of fried foods were satisfying. The drink options ranged from beer to wine to sangria. Overall, the lineup kept me entertained until the end!

I used the beer garden. There were many types of alcohol, and although there weren't a lot of dishes, they were delicious. It was Italian, but like other beer gardens, there were a lot of meat dishes. It would have been nice to have more Italian dishes. Thank you for the meal!

The appetizer of prosciutto is high quality. You can enjoy fresh and fragrant prosciutto in a reasonable lunch set. The bread and pasta dipped in olive oil are also delicious. The tiramisu dessert is apparently famous. It costs extra, but it was worth it.

The buffet on the 13th floor of Hankyu Umeda Main Store is great! Even though it was raining, we could enjoy it indoors. There is also a terrace available. The main dishes like sausages, chicken, and bacon are served, and you can have as much as you like of other dishes. Of course, you can also make your own drinks. All of this for just 4,500 yen is a great deal!

"I made a reservation at the 'Italian Rooftop Beer Garden', but due to the uncertain weather on the day, it was held indoors. Luckily, the indoors were cool and comfortable. The main dish was the one in the first photo (serves 4). It was all hot, juicy, and incredibly delicious. It was so filling that even those who eat little or don't like greasy food would be satisfied with just this. The salad, fried foods, and the variety of drinks were all very satisfying and enjoyable. I was particularly happy that gelato was all-you-can-eat. The main flavors were vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio, and you could have them with espresso or fruits. The pistachio one was especially delicious, I had three of them. The staff, though some seemed inexperienced, were all lovely and had great smiles. The beer garden was great, but next time I would like to try their regular dinner menu instead. Thank you for the wonderful meal!"

I visited for lunch on a weekday. I couldn't make a reservation, so I had to wait for about 20 minutes. It seems to be quite a popular place, with many customers, especially popular among women. There were also quite a few people with baby strollers. It was hot that day, or maybe they weren't prepared, as there was no mention of seating on the terrace, but since there were babies, I asked for a terrace seat, and they kindly allowed it, so we sat on the terrace. We had the lunch course, which included salad, assorted prosciutto, and various breads, with a choice of pasta (you can choose from about 8 types of pasta and pizza). I chose the lemon cream pasta, perfect for early summer. It was delicious. I couldn't really tell the difference with the prosciutto, but it was delicious, the bread was great, and the pasta was excellent. After the meal, dessert and a drink were included. You can choose from about 3 types of desserts, but the recommended one was the award-winning tiramisu from Italy, so I went with the tiramisu! And... as expected, it was delicious. The environment was conducive to lingering, so we ended up staying longer than planned. It's a great place for when you want to have a leisurely chat. The food is also top-notch! The cost performance is also good. I would love to go again!

Trattoria Al Ponpiere is a popular Italian restaurant located on the 13th floor of Hankyu Umeda Main Store, known for hosting private parties. All lunch sets come with all-you-can-eat bread. They are famous for their Tiramisu, considered the best in the world. Despite heavy rain warnings, the department store was less crowded than usual. I ordered the lunch set for ¥2400 which included pasta with Salsa Pomodoro and pizza with Quattro Formaggi. The pasta was chewy and delicious, with a hint of sweetness from the ricotta cheese. The Quattro Formaggi pizza was also very tasty. The Tiramisu had a sophisticated flavor with a hint of bitterness from the espresso. Even though they offered all-you-can-eat bread, I was too full to have seconds.

I visited a beer garden. The main dish was Italian BBQ, and there was a buffet with appetizers, fries, pasta, and gelato. The price was 4500 yen per person with all-you-can-drink. Normally it's a 2-hour limit, but in May, they offer a 3-hour limit for the same price, which is a great deal. I made a reservation because the atmosphere seemed nice. It was a great choice! The restaurant is located in Hankyu Department Store, and the food was different from typical beer garden dishes. The main meat dish was served hot on a hot plate at the table, and there was a wide variety of drinks to choose from. I ended up drinking too much. The staff were also great. There was a customer nearby who accidentally broke a glass while drunk, but the staff handled it without any complaints. They seemed to have received good training in hospitality. This was the biggest difference I noticed compared to other beer gardens. The smiles of the staff made the experience enjoyable. I really hope they continue the 3-hour course after June (laughs). But I am very satisfied. I had delicious food, tried unique drinks, had great conversations, and felt that choosing this restaurant was a good decision!

This is my second visit. This time, I had lunch on the terrace. The reservation process and service were good. The bread was all-you-can-eat, but I was so full from the pizza that I didn't need any more. The blue cheese on the pizza goes well with wine. I like to drizzle honey on it. The pizza crust was chewy and delicious. The pasta had thick noodles and was surprisingly light.

The 13th floor of Hankyu Umeda Main Store is very convenient, with sunlight coming in from the rooftop plaza creating a nice atmosphere inside the store. I had a hard time choosing the main dish and even more trouble deciding on dessert. I think it's a great restaurant that can be used for various occasions such as dates, lunch with friends, or family meals.

I was drawn to the all-you-can-eat bread offer and made a reservation. They claimed to have the best tiramisu in the world, so I chose the 2900 yen course which included dessert, main dish, coffee, bread, salad, and ham. The bread was all-you-can-eat with three varieties, all of them delicious, especially the milk bread. They didn't bring more bread as often as I hoped though. For the main dish, I chose the Bolognese which was very satisfying with plenty of meat. And the tiramisu I was looking forward to was creamy, sweet, and really delicious.

Located on the 13th floor of Hankyu Umeda Store East, just a short walk from JR Umeda Station, this Italian restaurant upholds the century-old tradition of a renowned establishment from Verona, Northern Italy. On this particular day, they were hosting an Italian Rooftop Beer Garden event. Guests could enjoy approximately 30 dishes including antipasto, fried foods, pasta, gelato, and more, all you can eat, along with a choice of BBQ plate and free-flowing drinks such as Italian wine, sangria, beer, and cocktails. The BBQ plate options were served hot and juicy, with a variety of delicious choices. The fried foods section was also a hit, with items kept warm underneath and served fresh. The gelato was a must-try as well. The Premium BBQ Plate Plan was priced at 6500 yen, while the Italian BBQ Plate Plan was 4500 yen. The Italian BBQ Plate Plan included a 120-minute seating time and a 90-minute all-you-can-drink option. The menu featured a variety of dishes including roast chicken leg, grilled porchetta sausage, basil sauce, mustard, antipasto, pasta, gelato, and more. The drink options included a selection of beers, Italian cocktails, red and white wines, sparkling wines, sangrias, sours, and soft drinks.
