Takemoto, a Michelin-listed restaurant in Fukushima, was not originally our planned choice, but we noticed a long line outside and decided to give it a try. The restaurant was packed as soon as it opened, and they only seat customers once everyone in the party has arrived. Reservations are available for lunch, and they can accommodate families with young children. The lunch menu includes a selection of two pastas, two pizzas, a hamburger, and lasagna, with the lasagna being limited in quantity. We ordered the pasta lunch with sea bream and mushroom anchovy oil sauce for 1,100 yen, and the lasagna lunch with prosciutto, corn, and a soft-boiled egg for 1,500 yen. When asked if we wanted to share, we agreed, but the dishes were served on one plate, which was a bit confusing. Nevertheless, everything was delicious, and it's clear why this restaurant is so popular. With a variety of pasta and pizza options, we will definitely be returning. I highly recommend giving it a try!

We visited around 7:30 pm on Saturday with 2 people without a reservation, but luckily we were able to get a table. We ordered strawberry champagne, white wine, assorted appetizers, arrabbiata pasta, and mussels. My friend had 2 drinks, and it came to a little over 4,000 yen per person. The food was delicious, especially the assorted appetizers which had more variety compared to other restaurants and is highly recommended! The drinks, including the strawberry champagne, were unique and fun to choose from. I would like to visit again.

I entered because the street was empty. I chose the lasagna from the lunch menu. It was different from what I expected. Around here, a lunch set with salad and focaccia with lasagna for 1500 yen would be reasonable.

Located under the Umeda overpass with excellent access. I was very happy to have a mixed appetizer platter. The Salsiccia was delicious. The pasta and pizza were also of high quality. They frequently changed our plates, showing great care and consideration.

I took my first-grade daughter who said she wanted to eat pizza and we went on a Sunday just after noon. We waited for about 10 minutes and then went to the counter. However, we didn't feel cramped at all! We shared a lunch set, and the portion was just right, the taste was good, and the atmosphere was nice. Even though we went with a child, we didn't order a separate meal for her, but no one gave us a bad look, which left a good impression. We will definitely go again!

I visited during lunchtime. I had always wanted to go to Chef Takeuchi's restaurant, and after looking at the menu, I was drawn to the limited lasagna, but this time I chose pasta and pizza. The pasta was beef tongue and edamame in a ragu tomato sauce, and the pizza was Margherita. For lunch, a cheese salad, focaccia, and appetizer are included. First, the salad, appetizer, and focaccia came on one plate. The salad was delicious with plenty of cheese. The daily appetizer featured mackerel. The pasta (large portion) had chewy noodles and tender beef tongue. It went well with the edamame. The pizza was thin but chewy, providing a satisfying bite. Oh, it was delicious! And both were priced in the thousand yen range, which is amazing value! Truly impressive. I'll be back soon aiming for the lasagna. Thank you for the delicious Italian lunch.

It's been a while since I visited Chayamachi. Am I the only one who ends up heading towards Chayamachi when out with a girl who doesn't drink? It had been three years since my last visit, but the menu and presentation seemed appealing to girls! I was happy to see my favorite burrata cheese and prosciutto salad on the menu. The seats were a bit small, so it didn't feel like a place to relax for a long time. The dishes also came out one after another, even before we finished eating. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lively! The food was delicious, so I would like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for lunch on the weekend. It's always popular, so there was a wait for about 3 groups, but we were able to get in within 20-30 minutes. The lasagna lunch was over, so I chose one of the two pasta lunches. The appetizer was voluminous, and the pasta menu changes quite often, and they are all delicious, so it's a restaurant I want to visit again and again!

The pizza was good, but everything else was not. I shared pizza and pasta with a friend. The appetizer was disappointing, not very impressive. Maybe I've gotten used to fancy appetizers lately, but I was let down. And the pasta. The tomato sauce was too acidic. The portion was small and lacked ingredients. The pizza, with salsiccia and Genovese sauce, was delicious. The weekend lunch price without drinks was 1350 yen per person. The cost performance is a bit lacking.

It's been a while since I had Italian food. I tried a variety of dishes and they were all delicious. The meat and aioli were especially good! We had a great time chatting and enjoying wine. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Colorful salads and prosciutto not only look good but taste great too! I couldn't imagine the combination of prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, and strawberries, but when I tried it, the saltiness of the prosciutto and the acidity of the strawberries matched perfectly, enhanced by the cheese and olive oil. The pizza was delicious, although it was a bit disappointing that it wasn't cooked in a wood-fired oven. The dish I would highly recommend is the garlic shrimp (ahiijo) - the use of whole prawns gives it a rich flavor, making it the best ahiijo I've ever had! I definitely want to go back again.

As expected, being a part of Takeuchi's group of restaurants, the atmosphere was very nice and the food was delicious. It's great that we can enjoy Takeuchi's restaurants not only in Fukushima but also in Umeda! In addition to this restaurant, "Chayamachi Aruko" has no disappointing restaurants, so it has been quite useful recently.

All the dishes were delicious! Especially the assorted appetizers allowed us to try a variety of dishes in small portions, which was very satisfying. The staff's service was also wonderful, as they treated us politely even though it was close to closing time. I would like to visit earlier next time and enjoy a more leisurely meal.

We ordered the flounder and broccoli in oil sauce, anchovy pasta, and pizza with dried young sardines and seaweed cream sauce for two people to share. The meal came with a salad and refillable focaccia for appetizers. It's a great deal to enjoy Chef Takeuchi's flavors in a casual setting. Lunch reservations are accepted for up to 5 groups, but you can also walk in and sit at the counter without a reservation. We arrived before the 11 am opening and there were already 8 groups waiting, but we managed to get a seat after the first round. It was quite crowded afterwards. This was on a Sunday for lunch.

Tre Rottakeuchi is a popular restaurant from Fukushima where you can casually enjoy their lasagna in Chayamachi, but it's limited in quantity! I visited right after they opened on a holiday. It seems to be popular among women. The main attraction is the limited quantity lasagna! Comes with a salad appetizer and focaccia for ¥1700. Also ordered the Margherita for ¥1600. Although lasagna is usually associated with meat sauce, having shrimp, scallops, and avocado with a béarnaise sauce is quite unique! The rich and fragrant sauce goes well with the lasagna. The Margherita had a crispy surface and was chewy inside! It seems like a great place for a girls' night out or a date ☺️ Address: 1-6-2 Shibata, Kita-ku, Osaka, Osaka Opening hours: Weekdays Lunch 11:30-15:00 Dinner 17:30-23:00 Weekends and holidays Lunch 11:00-15:00 Dinner 17:30-23:00 ▶️ This account mainly posts about gourmet food in Osaka Kita.

The other day, when I went to Umeda, I went to Trattoria Takeuchi in Chayamachi, which I had been curious about for a while. This time, I ordered the pasta lunch (1,100 yen on weekdays, 1,300 yen on weekends and holidays). I was happy to see proper cutlery that seemed to be used in a real Italian restaurant. It's a popular trattoria in a convenient location.

The meat was especially delicious✨ Everything else was delicious too. However, the service was quite slow, probably because there weren't enough staff.

Torello, Mr. Takeuchi's restaurant, was bustling. Despite the unfortunate weather, we decided to head out to Umeda Station area, which is still like a maze. We wanted to reach our destination in the shortest distance possible, but since we only knew familiar roads, we would usually get lost. However, this time, our companion led us straight to our destination, for which we were grateful. It seems that the dining district in Chayamachi has been newly renovated and looks beautiful. There are also other lunch spots that look promising, making it hard to decide. Mr. Takeuchi's restaurant is stylish, with efficient staff. We were looking forward to the limited edition lasagna lunch set for 1400 yen with an additional 200 yen for appetizers. First, we had a salad with leafy greens, Parmesan cheese, ham, broccoli, and whitebait in olive oil. The appetizers included sweet and savory burdock, eggplant in tomato sauce, and unlimited focaccia. The salad was full of Parmesan, allowing us to savor it until the last bite of lettuce. The appetizers were all delicious, especially the broccoli with a hint of garlic in olive oil. The burdock, usually associated with Japanese cuisine, was surprisingly good in an Italian dish. The eggplant and tomato combination was a classic. The focaccia was soft and fluffy. The limited edition lasagna was made with pork and burdock ragu sauce, with layers of chewy lasagna and flavorful ragu sauce. The burdock added a nice crunch, and the dish was not as heavy as expected, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, it was a fresh and enjoyable lunch experience. Thank you for the meal!

I went for lunch on Saturday. I arrived around 12 o'clock and waited for over 30 minutes, but it was worth the wait. I usually order pasta, but since it said lasagna was limited in quantity, I decided to try it. It was a great choice. The noodles were chewy and incredibly delicious. Next time, I will try ordering pasta.

Torero Takeuchi, located in Umeda, Osaka (Hankyu), is an Italian restaurant specializing in pasta and pizza. The average price range is between ¥1,000 to ¥1,999 for lunch and between ¥4,000 to ¥4,999 for dinner. Situated in Chayamachi Aruko, this popular Italian restaurant offers a stylish dining atmosphere, making it suitable for lunch or girls' night out. Some recommended menu items include Margherita pizza, omelette with black truffle, porcini mushroom cream sauce, and fresh pasta (tagliatelle) with homemade Bolognese sauce made from tender Naniwa black beef. The omelette with black truffle is a delightful dish with a rich truffle aroma and creamy texture that spreads in your mouth. It is truly delicious!
