Nestled in a corner of a street lined with eateries right next to Hankyu Umeda, Italian Farmers Bar exudes a cozy atmosphere. The Italian flag serves as a landmark, and the underground location feels like a hidden sanctuary waiting to be explored. Soft ambient lighting sets the mood, creating a nostalgic and exotic vibe. The seating consists of casual high stools and tables arranged in a spacious layout, eliminating any sense of confinement typically associated with underground spaces, making it a soothing environment. The vintage-style furniture and art boards add a touch of sophistication to the interior, making it a perfect spot for friends, lovers, or solo diners to enjoy a tranquil atmosphere. On this particular day, I opted for the popular appetizer platter lunch and homemade desserts. The beautifully presented platter was a feast for the eyes, featuring a variety of dishes such as smoked salmon with onion pickles, creamy shrimp gratin with plenty of onions, Italian ham, eggplant and baby onions from the renowned Asaoka Farm in Osaka, roasted chicken with avocado dip, caponata on baguette, vegetable kek saré, cabbage marinated, caprese with mini tomatoes, and chicken cutlets with a rich honey ginger mustard sauce. The salad with moringa dressing and the vegan-friendly bagna cauda plate showcased organic ingredients, reflecting a commitment to health and beauty. Despite being a small appetizer, each component was of high quality and showcased the bounty of the earth. The lemonade was perfectly balanced with acidity and sweetness, offering a refreshing taste. The highlight was the secret recipe Tiramisu made by Chef Luca, hailing from Italy. The Tiramisu had a silky smooth texture, reminiscent of the original flavors from Venice, with a subtle sweetness and a hint of espresso bitterness for a sophisticated taste. The coffee paired with the Tiramisu was aromatic, with a bold bitterness and a clear, rich flavor that complemented the airy dessert perfectly, making it an ideal post-lunch treat. The restaurant also sells vegetables, allowing customers to enjoy their premium produce at home. Indulge in a satisfying and healthy Italian deli plate lunch that caters to both your body and soul, offering a revitalizing dining experience.

This seems to be a popular restaurant, but there is a huge gap between the photos and reality. The operation of the restaurant needs improvement. The lunch system is based on a rotation at 11:30 and 13:00. I arrived at 11:30 and had to wait in line under the scorching sun. Maybe they should start letting people in 10 minutes earlier? The food is delicious, but the portions are smaller than expected and the complimentary prosciutto for adding LINE friends looks nothing like the photo!

I chose a course with all-you-can-drink option, but the restaurant was very crowded, making it difficult to order the first drink, and the food took a long time to arrive. Additionally, there were multiple instances where our drink orders were forgotten. It felt like the restaurant was understaffed for the number of customers. If they can't handle the volume, they should consider reducing the number of customers they accept. The taste of the food was good, especially the "shirasu no ahijo" which I personally liked. The only downside was the overwhelming atmosphere due to the crowdedness of the restaurant. Despite the busy situation, the staff were very friendly, so it was disappointing to have our orders forgotten. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for those who want to relax and have a peaceful dining experience.

Suddenly, tomorrow, in Umeda, on Sunday, it seemed like all 6 of us were going to be lunch refugees, but I decided to give this restaurant a try that I had been curious about for a while. I called them on a whim and was told that they have two lunch sessions at 11:30 and 13:00, and I could make a reservation now for up to 2 hours. When we arrived 5 minutes early, we saw a crowd of women in front of the restaurant, and there was already someone waiting. We were guided inside by the staff, who were all handsome, and found that all the customers were women and the place was packed. We ordered the lunch special which included appetizers, bread or rice, and a main dish, plus a drink with a coupon. The vegetables and seasonings were incredibly delicious and the portion was generous ❤️ All of this for just 950 yen including tax, it was amazing. The rice had a multigrain feel to it, and the bread was focaccia but unlike any I've had before, it was more like a fluffy chiffon cake. Everything was satisfying. I would love to come back to try a different menu next time.

I was recommended by a friend in Osaka to a restaurant with lots of vegetables, perfect for a girls' night out. I made a reservation using a coupon for a free vegetable dish. When I arrived, I mentioned the coupon in the reservation comments, but the staff didn't say anything about it. When I asked, they said, "Since you showed it, we will prepare it for you." The coupon was only valid upon presentation. The dish that came with the coupon was a crispy mountain yam (shown in the first picture), served with your choice of three types of salt or bagna cauda sauce. The salad was delicious, but personally, I really enjoyed the crispy pizza. They kept adding cheese until I said stop! The carbonara pasta was also fun and Instagram-worthy. I traveled from Yokohama, and all the staff were warm and welcoming. Even when it was busy and they asked me to wait a bit, they did so with a smile, which made the experience pleasant.

A group of 6 friends visited the restaurant after watching a baseball game and made a net reservation for 9:00 pm. Despite being almost full, we were guided to a spacious reserved table. The food was of high quality and everything was delicious. My friends also commented on how a young female staff member managed the large floor on her own with a perfect smile throughout. We spent about 2 hours there and had a great time. We will definitely visit again.

I enjoyed it very much. Various appetizers were beautifully arranged on one plate. The vegetables were delicious. I thought I would like to try the fondue next time. However, I had heard from an acquaintance that the restaurant was small, and indeed it was.

During the Obon holiday, it was my second time visiting with friends! The food was delicious. However, the staff was waiting, so we had to quickly decide on our order. I wish we had a little more time to decide, but when ordering the daily or monthly lunch specials, the menu was written on a board and shown to us by the staff.

I should have made a reservation before going. I arrived a little before opening, so I was able to get in on time, but it took 40 minutes for the food to be served. The restaurant is not very spacious, and the high-pitched voices of women talking can be tiring. The water was also lukewarm. However, the taste of the food was excellent. I had the fondue lunch and the one-plate lunch. The pesticide-free vegetables from their own farm were deliciously sweet. The onion soup that came with the one-plate lunch was surprisingly sweet. The cheese had a strong salty taste, and the honey for flavor variation was very good. Finally, vanilla ice cream was served, and when eaten on the fondue bread, it created a nice sweet and salty combination. However, the ingredients were mostly root vegetables, which made me feel full quickly. I wish they had more green vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes to balance it out. Overall, a little more creativity would have been appreciated, especially for a restaurant that caters to women.

On a very hot day, I decided to cool off and eat a delicious salad at the restaurant. Unfortunately, the inside of the restaurant was over 30 degrees and the air conditioning was not working! It was unbearable, but maybe the old building couldn't keep up with the cooling? As I wiped away my sweat, the staff gave me a frozen towel. It had been two years since my last visit, but the +200 yen salad and the main chicken dish were still delicious. However, the salad portion was 20% smaller than before. Despite that, the taste was great so I will definitely come back again!

I visited this restaurant for the first time ✨ I arrived early so I was the first in line, but later a line formed behind me! Once it opened, it quickly filled up ( ꒪꒫꒪) I recommend making a reservation even on weekdays!! Since I love cheese fondue, I ordered the Bread Cheese Fondue (¥1580) ✨ It came with plenty of vegetables which made me happy!! The cheese was rich and satisfying ( ¯ᵕ¯ )♡ For dessert, I had a hollowed-out bread filled with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with honey ✨ It was incredibly delicious. I wanted to try the Tiramisu as well, but I was too full to order it! I'll definitely try it next time!! Thank you for the meal ✨ Even though the restaurant was busy, the staff were very kind, polite, and provided excellent service which made me happy‍♀️ Thank you very much!!!

I visited the restaurant for lunch with friends. There was a long line in front of the shop even before it opened. I was glad that I had made a reservation! I recommend making a reservation if you plan to go in advance. I had the assorted appetizer lunch, where you can choose between bread, rice, or a drink (including beer or wine). I wanted to have a drink at lunch, so I was happy to have beer. The taste wasn't extremely delicious, but it was a lunch with a good value.

Anyway, the interior of the restaurant is too hot, it's not a comfortable place to eat... They said the air conditioner is broken, but it doesn't seem to have been fixed yet, so it's really disappointing. It seems better to avoid it in the summer. The food is average, not bad though! haha

A hidden underground shop that was packed with customers even on weekdays! The seating was close together and it was a bit lively, so if you prefer a quiet meal, it might be different from what you expect. The pizza with pie crust was delicious and crispy. The staff's service was excellent. Note that it's not located in Hankyu Sanbangai, so be careful (I got a little lost).

On July 21, 2023 (Friday), I went to meet a friend in Osaka and used it for a gathering with members I hadn't seen in a while. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the homemade cheese fondue with fresh vegetables. It was so good that I ended up getting a refill. I wish they could package that cheese alone for takeout or delivery, it was that good! The staff were all very friendly and left a great impression. I don't live in Tokyo, so I can't easily go back, but if I ever visit Osaka again, I will definitely go back to this restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful meal! ♡

I used it to celebrate my friend's birthday. The restaurant was crowded. We had to wait a bit, but since we had a reservation, the staff smoothly guided us to our table. The food was all well-received. We had ordered a birthday cake for my friend, and they brought it out with a lovely smile.

Cheese fondue set (with dessert) was around 1600 yen, I think? Taste: The cheese fondue was delicious! The vegetables were plentiful and satisfying. I felt like there was a bit too little cheese. Dipping the bread into the cheese was the best part. It seemed like making the cheese fondue was a bit delayed due to a shortage of chefs, so if you're short on time, it might be better to order a different menu. The other menu items also looked delicious, so I'd like to try them again. The honey was tasty, but I personally prefer not to put honey on the bread. The honey on the dessert ice cream was amazing. The tiramisu we ordered additionally was okay, but I feel like there are better ones out there. I probably won't come back again. Atmosphere: It was crowded with a lot of people. It seemed to be operating in two shifts with many reservations. There were many couples and groups of women. The order in which menus were asked for and food was served did not necessarily follow the order of arrival. It took quite a while for the food to come out. Cost performance: Average, I guess? Other menu items seemed to have better cost performance.

I had a lunch reservation at 1 o'clock. It took about 20 minutes for the appetizer to arrive, and about 40 minutes for the main pasta dish. The appetizer had a variety of ingredients and was delicious. The pasta was an oil-based pasta and tasted very oily, with a strong oil flavor. After finishing the appetizer, the plate was taken away but there was no napkin or plate left, so I didn't know where to put my fork. The restaurant was noisy with groups of people, similar to an izakaya. I don't think I will come back again.

For those visiting for the first time, this restaurant requires reservations even for lunch. I went on a Saturday and found out they have two time slots, with the first one being quite difficult to get into without a reservation. I lined up at 11:30 and ended up having to wait until the second slot at 1:00 because most tables were already reserved. I waited for over an hour without a reservation and was disappointed with the lunch plate I ordered. The chicken was tough, and the shrimp gratin was watery. There was no special touch to the dishes, and the vegetables seemed like they were just dressed with sauce. I had high expectations due to the good reviews, but I was very disappointed.

The sweetness of the vegetables was amazing, and the sauce for the bagna cauda was exquisite♡ I would love to come back to this restaurant when I feel like I need more vegetables. The staff were all friendly, polite, and saw us off until the end, making us feel very happy. Not only the food, but also the service ⭐️ deserves a perfect rating!!

The lunch was incredibly luxurious with a fancy appetizer. The pasta looked delicious, but I always end up ordering the chicken steak. You can add dessert for an additional 400 yen, and it's highly recommended as it's quite substantial. The tiramisu is said to be the specialty of the restaurant, but it was sold out today, so I tried the apple pie for the first time. It was delicious, of course! During lunchtime, almost 90% of the customers were women, making it as lively as an evening izakaya, which was a bit noisy. However, at only 1350 yen, it's a steal for such delicious food, so I will definitely come back again.
