I have been curious about this place for a while, but due to the pandemic, I wasn't sure if it was open or closed when I passed by. Today, I had some errands near Kitano-daigaku Station at lunchtime, so I decided to walk over and check it out. There were two bicycles parked in front of the shop, so I knew it was open. Inside, the lighting was a bit dim, making it hard to tell if they were open or not. There were three groups of customers, all women, already there. It seemed like they offered all-you-can-eat bread, with various types of round bread displayed on a table. Looking at the menu, I saw they had lunch sets with the bread buffet, as well as plate lunches. After seeing Matsuko Deluxe enjoying pizza on TV, I was in the mood for pizza today. I ordered the Margherita pizza and an iced lemon tea. While waiting and eating the salad, I noticed a slightly burnt smell in the air. Was it my pizza? When the pizza arrived, I saw some burnt edges, but it was still okay. The pizza baked in a kiln definitely tasted different from chain pizza restaurants. However, I noticed a bit of bitterness, which I realized was due to some parts being overcooked. It wasn't bad, but it could have been better. Maybe I got a bit tired of eating the same flavor with just one pizza. It would have been great to have the option of pasta or a half portion. They also gave me a feedback form with the bill, and when I filled it out, I got a 10% discount. I'd like to try their plate lunches next time. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

There was no manager by the poolside, and the madam was also absent, so there was no one to defend the lack of evening business. The restaurant now only operates for lunch, with last orders at 1:30 pm and closing at 2 pm. The menu mainly consists of pasta, pizza, risotto, and gratin, with a focus on carbohydrates. Initially, the restaurant offered a full range of seafood and meat dishes, but due to various circumstances, the menu has been gradually simplified. The quality of the food remains the same, but the salads are lacking, the pizza is overcooked, and the crust is too thick. I used to frequent this place for a long time, but unfortunately, I don't think I will be visiting again. It was a disappointing experience.

The way salads are prepared seems to have improved while I was away, although the structure still makes it hard to keep an eye on things. The service has also slightly improved, even though Madame and Chef Ikebe are nowhere to be found. It's a mystery what happened to them. The staff consists mainly of young women, with new employees being mentioned. The chef was only operating during lunch hours. I had the pasta and pizza lunches, which were solid choices, but I hope to see more creative menu options in the future. Thank you for the meal.

When I went near Kitano-ta Station, I noticed a shop that caught my attention, so I'm planning to go there with my partner next time. On this day, my husband and I came for lunch. We parked our car at a nearby coin parking lot. In addition to pizza, they also offer various dishes such as pasta and curry, but today both of us were in the mood for pizza. We decided to choose from the pizza menu. I chose Quattro Formaggi, which is topped with plenty of cheese. It doesn't look very photogenic as the surface is completely white. My partner ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and Corn Japanese-style pizza. While waiting for our pizzas to be baked, we enjoyed a non-alcoholic drink with salad. We decided to share each slice of pizza with each other. The cheese was delicious, but the Japanese-style pizza also had a calming taste. The level of char on the pizzas was just right. The all-you-can-eat bread menu mentioned in other reviews seems to have been discontinued, perhaps due to the ongoing pandemic. Hopefully, the pandemic will soon come to an end. Thank you for the meal.

Fonte di Tutore is an Italian restaurant near Kitano-da Station that offers a variety of lunch sets. The Fonte lunch set includes all-you-can-eat bread, Iberico pork pate, Spanish-style marinated mackerel, quiche, Kumamoto roast beef, cheese stick spring rolls, salad, and pasta. You can also add a creamy sea urchin sauce for an additional fee. The meal is served in a spacious and clean environment, with smoking and non-smoking sections available. The appetizers are colorful and appetizing, followed by a creamy pasta dish with a generous amount of sea urchin sauce. The pasta is cooked al dente and the sea urchin sauce is rich and flavorful. The meal is satisfying and highly recommended.

I thought it would be a casual Italian place, but it felt more like a cafe. I had the Fonte Plate Lunch. It came with all-you-can-eat bread, which you can help yourself to inside the restaurant. The plate lunch had small portions of quiche, fish, salad, etc. The taste was average. Considering the contents, I think it's quite pricey. Thank you for the meal.

I have revised my evaluation of the restaurant I frequent because they have brought back meat dishes to their menu. I realized that having beef on the menu significantly affects my satisfaction with the food. The usual set menu includes a main dish, although the salad could be improved. The option to choose between pasta and pizza, along with a main dish and dessert, makes it quite a good deal. Having beef for dinner on weekends, followed by dessert, makes me feel like I've worked hard as a father and need to keep pushing myself for the next week.

I visited this place for lunch on a regular day. The interior had colorful star-shaped lights hanging down, giving it a bright and cute atmosphere. The tables were filled with parents and young children, possibly because there is a large maternity clinic nearby, and the staff were skilled at handling strollers. The lunch menu offered a variety of options ranging from around 700 yen to 1500 yen, including salad, soup, brown rice, pasta, and plate lunches. On a cold day, I was drawn to the "Clam Chowder" soup of the day, so I decided on the soup lunch. The soup lunch (702 yen) included the soup of the day, salad, 2 pieces of bread, and a choice of drink (coffee, tea, or juice). The salad had a refreshing dressing. The soup was decent. The bread was quite chewy and required some effort to eat, but you could get free refills at the bread corner where freshly baked bread of various fillings like curry, bamboo shoots, potatoes, cheese, and raisins were available. The relaxed atmosphere and affordable lunch with a drink included was impressive. It seemed like a popular spot for mom friends to gather.

I wanted to have pasta for lunch, so I came here. They had a lot of pasta lunch options to choose from. I changed the pasta in the pasta lunch set to sea urchin cream pasta. The set included pasta, salad, bread, and a drink for an additional 400 yen. I wish the pasta was a bit more al dente. The bread was self-serve from a table, which was fun. The bread would have been even more delicious if it was warm.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on a weekday. The parking lot can fit 4 cars and there is space to park next to the store, so it's relatively spacious. Despite it being a weekday, there were quite a few customers. Besides us, there were 5-6 other groups. The interior of the restaurant is quite spacious, so it's baby stroller-friendly. There are also seats with sofas along the walls. The lunch here is really cheap! Prices range from 702 yen to 1000 yen for dishes like soup lunch and salad lunch. I opted for the salad lunch because I wanted to eat a lot of bread. The salad lunch came with some croquette, which I forgot the type of, but it wasn't very tasty. I forced myself to eat it because I don't like to waste food, but honestly, it wasn't necessary. The soup that came with the salad lunch was onion soup, which seemed to be made by sautéing onions, so it had a dark color. The taste wasn't as strong as it looked, which was good. The salad portion wasn't very large, but since it came with all-you-can-eat bread, it was enough to fill me up. There were about 10 types of bread, all with different fillings, available for self-service buffet style. I remember some of them: burdock, egg, mushroom gratin, sautéed burdock, plain, pirouette, croissant, cheddar cheese, raisin, and one more. I tried all of them and if I had to pick one to add, I would suggest adding some sweet pastries like chocolate or melon bread. The staff were friendly and didn't mind refilling our water when we drank it all due to chatting. The drink options included coffee, tea, apple juice, grapefruit juice, and I was surprised that drinks were included in the price. The larger soup in the photo was the clam chowder from my friend's soup lunch. I didn't taste it, but it had lots of mushrooms and vegetables, making it more filling than the salad lunch. They had a pasta option starting from that day, and you could choose from over ten types for an additional fee. The additional cost for pasta varied from 100 yen and up. It's been a while since I've had such a cheap lunch. Plus, all-you-can-eat bread! Highly recommended. Just be careful not to overeat if you don't want to gain weight!

I am "Noronori" and I mainly go around eating lunch, mainly in Sakai. I thought it was a pizza specialty shop, but they also had pasta and gratin. I chose the Soup Spaghetti Set for 1,110 yen. That day, I had "Oyster and Spinach Tomato Sauce Spaghetti." Maybe because it was thin noodles, the service was quick. The bread was all-you-can-eat, and I ended up eating a total of 8 pieces - including Piroschki, chewy x2, bamboo shoot, croissant, sautéed burdock, and a German potato with no filling, which was the most delicious!

I received a lot of pamphlets before, so I decided to visit this restaurant for lunch with my partner on a holiday. The restaurant was spacious and mostly non-smoking. The staff, especially the older sisters, were calm and polite, showing great hospitality. I ordered the brown rice lunch set without a drink for 850 yen, which included pan-fried sea bream with basil sauce and burdock salad. The sea bream had a satisfying texture and the sauce was authentic. The set also came with tuna and green bean sesame salad, onion and chicken vinegar dish, fresh vegetable salad, simmered soybeans, five-grain rice, and miso soup. It was a healthy and delicious meal. My partner ordered the pasta lunch set without a drink for 700 yen, which included squid and Chinese cabbage oil pasta and a salad. The set also came with two types of bread. Surprisingly, the bread was refillable! They also offered wine for 380 yen, making it a great lunch experience.

Today's lunch was all about pasta~♪ It's a refreshing Sunday in September, with clear autumn weather. My friend Akkord picked me up, and before we go shopping, let's have lunch~♪ We decided on this restaurant! Oh, look, the shop next door looks like a storage for danjiri floats! On this day, it happened to be the day of danjiri float test pulling, and we could hear lively shouts of "sorya, sorya"♥ Seeing the danjiri floats gets me excited (laughs). I'd love to watch more, but my stomach is growling, so my friend and I headed into the restaurant. It's more of an Italian eatery than a high-end Italian restaurant, with a cozy, homey atmosphere, not a fancy bar, more like a casual pasta place. Right at the entrance, there's a private room, where no customers were seated. It's a chic room with large windows offering a view of the outside scenery. The main room where we dined had high ceilings, with tables somewhat close together, but it had a cute Italian vibe. For our meal, we had: ◆Pasta Lunch 850 yen Bacon and cabbage in oil sauce. The chewy noodles were nicely coated with the ingredients~♪ ◆Cold Pasta Lunch 1200 yen The pasta was well-chilled, topped with plenty of tomatoes and cheese! The thin noodles were smooth and delicious. The pasta lunch comes with bread, salad, and soup, all for 850 yen, which is a great deal~♥ And...guess what! The freshly baked bread is all-you-can-eat~♪ There are various kinds like chocolate, cheese, and mochi bread. Since they were small, we had multiple servings~♪ They also offer bread and pizza for takeout. For bread lovers, I highly recommend it~(๑´ڡ`๑) Yummy~♪

I am addicted to enjoying hard (sometimes soft) bread with lots of toppings! I like to try different places, but I often forget where I bought what, so I decided to keep a record. 1. Eating preferences A. I like bread with almost no strong flavors, so I can enjoy it as a snack or with a meal. B. I prefer bread with some acidity or flavor, so it goes well with cream cheese and raw sugar. C. I only enjoy bread as a snack, like butter and raw sugar, cream cheese and raw sugar, or just raw sugar. 2. Texture when toasted A: Crispy and crunchy B: Hard and crunchy 3. Weight A: Light B: Heavy 4. Other details On April 28, I bought a "Kuppe" for 130 yen. 1. A, 2. A, 3. A I rarely visit this area, so I was extremely happy to find this shop!

In the town of Otonano in Sakai City, there is an Italian restaurant located in a modern housing development area. The restaurant has a spacious and clean interior with a relaxed layout, large tables, and a comfortable design. The food is average, similar to typical Italian restaurants in Osaka. The service is friendly but amateurish, and the wine selection is basic. Overall, it is a decent option for casual dining if you live nearby, but not worth a special trip.

Fonte di Tutore, an Italian kitchen in Sakai City, Higashi-ku, Jo Roku, reopened a year ago. It is located across from Nankai Kitano-da Station Daiei Kitano-da store. I happened to pass by and went in! "Sorry, pizza set! Caffe latte and Margherita, please!" Mmm, delicious! It's so tasty! I'm satisfied! The restaurant has 28 table seats and parking for 6 cars. It is a 3-minute walk from Nankai Kitano-da Station. Check out Fonte di Tutore!

【2011/2 Visit】I visited the Italian restaurant "Cucina Italiana Fonte Di Tuttore" that opened in October 2010. It used to be "Fontana," which offered bread and cakes, but it has now moved. The interior of the restaurant has an open kitchen, and there is also a bread workshop attached. You can even take out freshly baked bread from the storefront, which is great! The high ceilings, spacious tables, and relaxed atmosphere are wonderful. When looking at the lunch menu, I was surprised to see Italian dishes! The brown rice lunch caught my eye. The main dish changes daily and includes "tempura of scallops and prawns" with salad, side dish, brown rice, and miso soup. The crispy tempura with the flavor of scallops and prawns was delicious. The side dish of sweet potato with prosciutto and olive oil had a unique taste. The brown rice was not just plain brown rice but a chewy mixed grain rice. You can add a drink for an additional 100 yen. The lunch menu other than the "brown rice lunch" seemed to be popular as it offered all-you-can-eat freshly baked bread. I would like to try different types of bread next time! The Danish custard bun, cream bun, and chocolate croissant that I took out were delicious and nostalgic.■ Brown Rice Lunch 950 yen■ Lunch Drink +100 yen

Year-end party led to weight gain... Today, I'll clean up and go for a healthy lunch!! So, I searched for "brown rice lunch Sakai" online and this place came up. Oh, I haven't been here before, but a friend told me that it's a new restaurant opened by the son of Fontana (a cafe with bread and cakes that used to be nearby). I was planning to visit someday. What's this, "daily changing brown rice lunch"? Sounds great! Alright, let's go now! o(^O^)／ Upon entering the restaurant, it had a spacious and bright atmosphere. The previous customers were groups of moms with kids and elderly ladies. Mostly women. When I arrived around 12 o'clock, it was not crowded, but by 12:30, there were a few groups waiting. I'll transcribe the lunch menu as it is: - - - - - - ◆Daily changing brown rice lunch set 950 yen Daily main dish / 2 side dishes / brown rice / miso soup ◆Pasta lunch set 850 yen Daily pasta / salad / bread ◆Fresh pasta lunch set 950 yen Fresh pasta / salad / bread ◆Powerful salad lunch set 800 yen Powerful salad / brown rice or bread ◆Dolce set 300 yen Dolce / coffee or tea *Add a soft drink to the lunch set for an additional 100 yen Hot coffee / iced coffee / tea / iced tea / orange juice / grapefruit juice - - - - - - - I sat down and of course, ordered the daily changing brown rice lunch set. Looking at the bread basket in the restaurant, my daughter said she also wants to eat bread! So, I asked if it was possible, and it turns out you can have all-you-can-eat freshly baked bread for an additional 300 yen! By the way, all lunch breads except for the brown rice lunch are all-you-can-eat. And you can also opt for all-you-can-eat bread instead of brown rice in the brown rice lunch. (But that wouldn't be a brown rice lunch, right... "Daily changing lunch (brown rice or bread)" would be better^^;) Oh, I see, the spaghetti lunch comes with all-you-can-eat bread as it was in the previous Fontana. It's not mentioned anywhere on the website or menu that bread is all-you-can-eat! They should promote it more to attract more customers! Now, my impression of the brown rice lunch. I don't think it was bad, but... it was a bit different from what I expected and hoped for f^^; First, this is not a brown rice lunch!! The rice definitely looked like a mixed grain rice (not sure if it's ten-grain or sixteen-grain) with some sprouted brown rice mixed in... This can't be called brown rice for sure~＾＾; It was a chewy and delicious mixed grain rice though... The daily main dish was beef stewed in tomato sauce. The beef was so tender and juicy that it fell apart easily with chopsticks, and it was very delicious!! The tomato sauce with white kidney beans was also good, even though there was only one white kidney bean. And the two side dishes... huh? Two side dishes? Did we have two side dishes? Oh, one was salad... really?! Σ(ﾟ□ﾟ;) Counting salad as one of the two side dishes!? Hmm, that's a bit disappointing...(-公-) The other side dish was some kind of fried food... what? Fried gnocchi?? It looked like tiny chicken nuggets or bite-sized donuts, but the filling was mashed potatoes... It was fried, but cold. Not bad, but having only one side dish like this was a bit sad. The miso soup was not that great... Hmm... I was almost satisfied with the deliciousness of the beef stewed in tomato sauce, but writing this review later, it's a bit too mediocre... When I heard "brown rice lunch," I thought it would be like Genzan or Vegi Table with veggie or healthy dishes, but it's just a regular daily changing lunch with brown rice (which is not even brown rice). As expected, in South Osaka, GRAN is probably the only place for a healthy lunch... Anyway, the all-you-can-eat bread was quite good. The croissant was crispy and delicious. The onion cheese soft bread was tasty. The stick-shaped cheese bread was crunchy and fragrant like a snack. The sweet potato and raisin bread with chocolate chips on top was confusing but tasty. The salmon bread and tuna bread-like bread were good too! I think I tried these 5 types, but there were still many more varieties. Not particularly delicious, but still better than Saint Marc's, I'd say. This equals...
