I scanned the restaurant's QR code, checked the menu, and placed my order all on my phone. The system seemed efficient, especially since it appeared to be a one-person operation. The salad had a variety of fresh vegetables with French dressing. The Quattro Formaggi pizza with honey was delicious, especially with the thin crust. I enjoyed it both plain and with honey drizzled on top. The tomato sauce pasta was also tasty. The hot coffee with warm milk served after the meal showed attention to detail, which I appreciated.

This place offers great value for money. In Otaru, a tourist destination, there are some shops in the main area that feel a bit overpriced due to the tourism, but this place is very reasonable and the food is delicious. I ordered oysters, which were large and creamy, and very tasty. The pizza was a good size for one person, not extremely thin but still enjoyable.

Kotoriado course for 2200 yen in Otaru, a popular Italian restaurant in the Sushi Street area. The parking lot is next to the restaurant with a few spaces available. They offer a wide range of menu options and have a great value lunch set. I ordered the Kotoriado lunch course, which uses local ingredients from the Shiribeshi region. I also got a free white wine with a coupon. The kitchen is open, and the owner was busy preparing dishes. It took 25 minutes for the appetizers to be served, which included marinated salmon, herring, shrimp, pickles with aronia berries, all explained from right to left. The main dish came 20 minutes later, served in a small bowl with plenty of seafood and vegetables. The soup had a light consistency with a strong salty taste of the sea. The original flavor-changing oil added a unique touch to the dish. The set also included focaccia, baguette, chocolate cake, and strawberry gelato for dessert, with a choice of coffee or tea. Overall, the experience was delightful, even though the owner seemed a bit overwhelmed.

I made a reservation for just the seat and went. Maybe by chance? I'm not sure, but the master was running the place alone. It seemed tough!! The dishes came one after another without waiting, perhaps due to good organization. We enjoyed dishes like seafood marinade, eating soup, shiribeshi cotoriade (delicious!!), herb butter grilled fish, anglerfish meunière, and steamed oysters with red wine (from Chile).

I'm Italian but I went to Piatto, a popular sushi restaurant on the street. I've tried to come here several times before, but it's always full and I end up giving up and going home. Today, I aimed to arrive at the opening time. There were no previous customers. Finally, I got in! From the menu, I ordered the cold pasta with tomatoes and summer vegetables, and the soup with white asparagus and potatoes as a set. After ordering, another customer arrived and the restaurant quickly filled up. The owner seemed to be working hard alone. It took about 30 minutes, but that's understandable. The dishes that arrived looked beautiful from the appearance. The pasta was very thin and smooth, like somen noodles. It was a good match for a hot day like today. The vegetables were delicious, with a refreshing taste. I could eat as much as I wanted, it was that good. I was satisfied, so I'll definitely come back again. Thank you for the meal!

I have been eating the limited-time uni pasta every year. Some restaurants offer it year-round, but this one uses fresh uni, so it's only available now, and there are times when they can't provide it depending on the day's catch. They serve about 20 portions a day. The biggest mistake of the day was being too hungry to forget to take a picture of the uni (^_^;) In addition to uni, they are also offering a limited-time asparagus cream pasta. They are also offering takeout during the state of emergency. Surprisingly, they are offering a lunch and pre-ordered takeout special of "Otaru-produced Fresh Uni Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce" for ¥1000 (tax included) instead of the regular ¥1980. I chose the set with salad, drink, and bread, so it was ¥1400 in total. You can choose between spaghetti or locally produced fettuccine for the pasta. The asparagus, which is usually ¥1400, was also ¥1000! Please check the detailed prices and availability on the restaurant's website. The demand for Otaru uni is decreasing due to the state of emergency. To help the producers, they are offering it regardless of sales. That's why the restaurant is run by just one chef, who looked very busy. So, please don't expect the usual service. The appetizer that I like here is not available during the special price period. If you like strong flavors, this may not be to your taste. I think it's a taste that brings out the flavor of the ingredients. I had the fettuccine. The noodles here are as firm as udon, so it's a matter of preference, but I prefer spaghetti noodles. The homemade dressing for the salad was delicious, and I was surprised to find bread on the plate when I thought it wasn't included. Despite the chef's hectic appearance, I felt sorry for him, but I wanted to support his attitude of helping the relevant agencies. I will definitely visit again.

I visited a certain Italian restaurant on a Saturday. It's a personal matter, but I will be changing jobs, so this will be my last food adventure in the Shiribeshi area for now. After moving back to my parents' house temporarily, I will return to Hokkaido, but the next area will be different, so I don't think I will come back to Sapporo or the Shiribeshi area often. The restaurant is located along a small river that flows into the Otaru Canal, away from the bustling streets where tourists often pass by, creating a calm atmosphere. The exterior is black, with a chic and calming Italian feel. There are two staff members, one male chef and one young female server. There are three tables and counter seats, with six chairs at the counter, but only two were being used due to the current situation. I entered about 10 minutes after the opening time (11:30 am), and there were already two groups at the tables and one person at the counter, making it the busiest time. The speed of taking orders and serving dishes was a bit slow due to the two-person team, but I patiently waited. ● Pasta Course 1,870 yen (course price varies depending on the pasta chosen) (Appetizer, Pasta, Bread, Dessert, Drink) ◎ Appetizer I thought the octopus would be seasoned with salt, but it was sour haha. Did they sprinkle vinegar on it? It had a taste similar to Japanese vinegar-marinated octopus. The smoked salmon was salty and made me crave white wine haha. The marinated sardine had a taste like Nanban-zuke. ◎ Bread Warm bread arrived with butter, which was appreciated. The baguette was consistently delicious. The white bread had a soft and chewy texture, with a nice yeasty aroma, which was good. ◎ My Sardine Spaghetti with Plenty of Fish Meat Sauce (homemade sardine anchovy, the umami of fermented fish and the acidity of tomato were exquisite) The pasta had a gentle al dente texture that is easily accepted by many people. It had a crisp and satisfying texture. The female server mentioned puttanesca, so maybe there was a hint of chili in it. The flavors of tomato, anchovy, garlic, capers, olives, etc., were distinctly Italian, with just the right amount of saltiness. It was a dish that made me feel like this is what they mean by a pasta that you can eat every day without getting tired of it. (One small point to note, even though it was described as "plenty of sardines," it didn't have chunks of sardine meat in the sauce, but rather plenty of sardine anchovies.) ◎ Dessert The staff explained the dishes, but as usual, I couldn't fully grasp it haha. Regarding what seemed to be compote of pears, the color was somewhat dull, and it didn't look appetizing. It wasn't strongly flavored with alcohol, nor was it sweet, fresh, or fruity, but rather had a vague taste. The gateau au chocolat was neither good nor bad. The gelato had a mild sweetness with a strong acidity and fruitiness. While eating, I was trying to remember what kind of gelato it was. I occasionally sensed a flavor like umeboshi, or maybe cherry-like? Towards the end, the flavor of plum came to mind, and when I asked the female staff at the checkout, the correct answer was plum, which made me a little happy. Thank you for the meal. There are still many more restaurants I want to visit, mainly in Sapporo, but next time, I want to discover the charm of different areas in Hokkaido. Thank you for reading today.

My parents had never eaten pizza before, so I searched for a restaurant where we could get takeout pizza. We decided on Pizzatto on Sushi Street. We went there and ordered a Capricciosa pizza for takeout (1290 yen). Oh, we could use PayPay too. I wished they had chairs to sit while waiting near the entrance. When we got home, we enjoyed the pizza. It was loaded with various toppings as advertised. The thin crust was crispy and had a nice saltiness to it. Both my parents were happy and said it was delicious. Thank you for the meal. We will definitely go back again!

Checked out the U.S. Tourism House in July 2019 and took a bus to Otaru. Had lunch at an Italian restaurant on Otaru Sushiya Street, "Osteria Il Piatto Nuovo." I made a reservation for the chef's choice course in advance. The first floor had several table seats and counter seats. There were also seats on the second floor, but it seemed like only the chef and a female staff member were working. On a hot day, I started with a Otaru beer. The pilsner was refreshing. The chef explained the course content. I had a recommended white wine that paired well with the dishes. The course included: - Assorted appetizers: marinated herring, white asparagus pickles, all delicious. - Sand liver confit - Fresh sea urchin pasta with tomato cream sauce: a seasonal pasta. It's normally available on the lunch menu as well. It had plenty of Otaru saltwater sea urchin, and the tomato cream sauce's acidity combined with the rich sea urchin made for a very delicious pasta. The locally grown wheat fresh pasta was chewy. - Aqua pazza of Otaru willow dance - Roasted Hokkaido beef fillet I had a glass of red wine with the meat. I had informed them in advance that I didn't need dessert, and they kindly prepared cheese instead. This time, I had the course, but for lunch, they offer pizza and pasta sets with salad and a drink for around 1,000 yen, making it easy to use casually. If I have the chance, I would like to try their pizza and other pasta dishes. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I had pasta that I didn't make for the first time in a while! On this day, I went to the restaurant with my daughter. There was a very handsome guy with a great smile welcoming us! It's so nice to be greeted with a smile. The pizza also looked delicious in the photos, but my daughter and I couldn't finish it, so we gave up. My daughter had chicken and mushroom cream pasta, and I had seafood Pesce all'arrabbiata. It came with salad and a drink. It was very delicious. We leisurely enjoyed our meal and felt a bit luxurious. The Pesce all'arrabbiata had no spiciness, and you could adjust it yourself. The ingredients included scallops, shrimp, mussels, and clams... I think (￣▽￣;) Sorry, it was a while ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy (￣▽￣;) I wish there were some small bread to enjoy the delicious sauce. But we were full, so I guess it was okay (*´罒`*) lol

A slightly classic Italian restaurant among a row of sushi restaurants. They offer a wide range of menu items including pasta, risotto, and pizza, all surprisingly delicious. The simple yet careful attention to ingredients is truly a pleasant surprise. This is why I have decided to stay in Otaru next time!

An Italian restaurant facing a street with many sushi restaurants in Otaru city. We ordered pasta this time. The thin pasta was perfectly coated in tomato sauce and delicious. However, the attitude of the staff was really bad, so we ended up eating quietly and leaving. The food was really good though. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends. The girl who served us did her best, so I appreciate that.

It was a casual restaurant that you could imagine just from the name!
