Pasta course for 1870 yen + sparkling wine for 800 yen★ The popular Italian restaurant run by the chef featured on the downtown west area information program. Reservations are a must on weekends, and it's always packed for lunch on weekdays. You can enjoy sparkling wine (red, white, or sparkling) starting from 750 yen. It's such a joy to be able to drink wine from lunchtime. For lunch, they offer a 4-course meal, but if you don't need all that, you can choose the "Pasta Course" which includes a daily appetizer and pasta with 3 options each. You can share the dishes with your partner. First, the appetizers: kelp-marinated mussels steamed in wine, and natural flounder marinated in kelp. Wow! Such a luxurious spread for lunch. Can't believe they serve this for lunch. The vegetable-packed carpaccio with a tangy dressing is great. The mussels are cooked perfectly with a nice texture. The pasta dishes were served separately: spaghetti with thick-neck clams and conger eel in garlic oil - the unique bitterness of the conger eel is great; and spaghetti with octopus and green shishito peppers in a tomato stew - a refreshing and slightly spicy tomato sauce with a chewy texture. The pasta was delicious! Comes with chewy focaccia and coffee or tea. For this content at around 1000 yen, the taste and cost performance are excellent. It's no wonder it's so popular! Thank you for the meal.

I visited after a long time ^ ^ I ordered the pizza course with braised beef cheek and grilled terrine of mackerel. I had beer and white wine to drink. The grilled terrine was crispy on the outside and packed with flavor on the inside. It was very delicious when eaten with the sauce. It was my first time eating a pizza properly ^ ^ The dough was light and had a gentle taste. It went really well with the chili oil. The salad with cheese and pickles was also delicious. I also had dessert and coffee ^ ^ The chef and staff were all easy to talk to, and the atmosphere was relaxed even though it's authentic Italian. It was delicious again today ~ ♡ Thank you for the meal ^ ^

I searched for a restaurant for a rich lunch, but they were all irregularly closed and had long lines. I was wandering around wondering what to do, but I was in the mood for Italian food, so I decided to try a crowded restaurant. Surprisingly, it was a place I had bookmarked, so I was happy. There were quite a few customers with reservations, and I was grateful for the counter seating. The lunch course included a choice of appetizer and pasta from the menu, with coffee or tea as a drink option. For an additional fee, you could also add a dessert platter. I decided to consider the dessert after the meal. The appetizer was a tartare of grilled terrine, and I was surprised by the portion size. It was delicious, especially with the salad dressing and tartare on bread. The pasta was clam, sardine, and cabbage aglio e olio. The pasta was chewy, and the clam and sardine broth was flavorful but not too oily or light. I was already quite satisfied from the appetizer, but I finished it all. The tea after the meal had a nice aroma and warmed me up. I considered the dessert while eating, but I wasn't confident I could finish it, so I gave up. The dessert platter and the course dishes were all attractive, and I especially wanted to enjoy them with alcohol. So, I would like to come back next time to have a daytime drink.

I recommend this place for enjoying authentic Italian cuisine at a reasonable price. Since there is no parking lot, I parked at a nearby coin parking lot. However, there were times when I couldn't get in because they closed early, so it might be a good idea to call and confirm before visiting.

Italian chefs with great cooking skills are the best. The creamy texture of the sea urchin spaghetti is surprisingly delicious no matter how many times you have it. The abalone, turban shell, mussel, and mushroom risotto topped with plenty of black truffle is a heavenly dish. The venison and porcini mushroom dish hunted by a local hunter with truffle is also amazing. Sapporo is wonderful.

I was torn between the à la carte and the tasting menu, but ended up choosing the tasting menu. The cauliflower soup had a gentle flavor. I forgot to take a picture, but the mackerel and beet escabeche was more suited for adults. The liver was not in paste form and was delicious. The fish dish with swordfish eggs was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The pasta with autumn salmon and porcini cream was exquisite. The pork in balsamic sauce was tender! The service from the young waiter was fantastic. He would change the cutlery and recommend the next dish or wine. Speaking of wine, we had sparkling, white, and red wines. We left it up to the staff to choose, and the Chrisawa Blanc wine was exceptionally delicious, and they even brought out the bottle and explained it to us. I later found out it was a rare Hokkaido wine! The red wine was also delicious. However, since my daughter was with me that day, some dishes like the escabeche were not suitable for her, and there were coffee-based desserts, making it a bit challenging for families with children. I should have asked about the course contents beforehand. Overall, the food was delicious, and the wine alone makes this restaurant worth a visit. I would like to go back without my daughter next time.

The 4,000 yen lunch course is definitely the best value for money!! As delicious as ever (^｡^)!! \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ \(//∇//)\ ===========

Pasta course for 2200 yen. The sea bass carpaccio appetizer is moist with plenty of vegetables. The vinegar dressing is not too sour and very tasty. There are two types of bread, one fluffy and one quite hard. The sakura shrimp flavor is very rich in the oil-based pasta, which is quite thick. The salty taste is quite strong. The restaurant is quite noisy, not really a place for a relaxing lunch.

I decided to visit some restaurants I wanted to try on weekdays before the holidays start next month. Before running errands, I stopped by for lunch at a restaurant recommended by a friend, which I heard offers a business lunch on weekdays. I arrived a few minutes after the opening time, and there were already two groups of customers. I mentioned that I was dining alone, and was given the option of sitting at the counter or a table. I chose a table and sat down. The restaurant was decorated with flowers and wine bottles on display. It was quite hot, so I quickly finished the glass of water I was given while looking at the menu. I opted for the most affordable business lunch which included eggplant, basil, and ricotta cheese pasta in tomato sauce, along with a cup of tea. The service was excellent, and my glass of water was promptly refilled. Within a few minutes, I was served focaccia bread and a salad. The salad was generous in portion with lettuce topped with cheese. The balsamic vinegar dressing with walnuts and dried fruits was a delightful combination. It was surprisingly good. Next, the pasta arrived at my table. The bright red tomato sauce with green and white accents looked appetizing. The steam rising from the dish indicated it was piping hot. I first tried the pasta with just the tomato sauce, which was sweet and rich in flavor. It was one of the best tomato sauces I had ever tasted. Mixing in the ricotta cheese, the flavors blended perfectly, and the cheese added another layer of deliciousness. The eggplant and tomato sauce were a great match, making this pasta sauce a winner. The noodles were cooked slightly softer than al dente, but it complemented the tomato sauce well. I finished every bit of the pasta with the focaccia bread. It was so delicious that I wished they offered a larger portion. Just as I finished, the tea arrived at the perfect timing, providing a comforting end to the meal. The tomato sauce was so delicious that I would love to visit this restaurant again, even if it's not for a business lunch.

As always, the blissful lunch after surfing! Italian cuisine after surfing is the best! Once again, I ordered the usual lunch set after surfing. The natural flounder carpaccio with plenty of vegetables goes well with the bubbles as an appetizer. The marinated mackerel, beef tongue, and pork head meat terrine go well with red wine. The tender terrine has a strong flavor. The grilled salted sweetfish is quite salty but has a crispy skin and goes well with alcohol. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is lively, and the young staff provide good service. Ah, I wanted to go today but ended up taking a nap... I saw on Instagram that they had a summer vegetable terrine, I wanted to try that. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again!

Indulge in a blissful lunch after surfing, enjoying a rich holiday with a wine bottle in hand. I occasionally post on Instagram as well: sato_hiros. I had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant where you can spot the owner-chef surfing, making you want to visit in a heartbeat. It had been a while since my last visit. Today, I opted for the pasta course with dolce, starting with a toast and a bottle of white wine. I ordered a recommended Romanian white wine, reasonably priced with a sophisticated aroma of oak spreading in the mouth. The natural flounder carpaccio was thick and satisfying, with a hearty salad. The spicy venison terrine paired perfectly with the white wine, offering a strong meaty texture yet a mild gamey flavor that even women would enjoy. The grilled terrine of horse mackerel, beef tongue, and pig head was rich and complemented by the tartare, a creative dish with a strong meaty essence. The freshly baked focaccia was delicious, and I gladly accepted a second serving as a service. I paired it with the asparagus and cheese egg dish, enjoying a crisp glass of wine. The spring asparagus was delightful, especially when combined with the runny yolk and cheese on the focaccia. The pasta with squid ink stew of spear squid and firefly squid was a hit for me, offering a rich squid umami with a hint of lemon zest that reminded me of Tom Yum Kung. The dessert platter featured various delicacies, including a cherry blossom dessert that I unfortunately missed out on. The Gâteau au Chocolat was as rich and satisfying as ever, and the panna cotta had just the right amount of sweetness. I savored a coffee to end the meal, missing the fresh mussels that were out of season but still enjoying every bite. With Golden Week approaching, reservations for both lunch and dinner are filling up fast, making this restaurant a must-visit. Thank you for the delicious meal once again. This blissful lunch with drinks is truly a treat for myself.

This is the rich course. The photos are mixed for two people. The salad chosen for the appetizer was very beautiful. The dessert presentation was also lovely. We were able to enjoy high-quality dishes at a reasonable price and were very satisfied.

Oh my, it was a really delicious restaurant. The main dish, grilled Tokachi-sourced Mokoto pork, had some kind of popping texture in the sauce. I couldn't figure out what it was, the mustard had such big grains, I kept wondering what it could be. I didn't want to seem ignorant, so I didn't ask the staff and ended up taking the mystery home with me. But I think it was fish roe-like, probably herring roe. It was very mysterious but incredibly delicious. Everything was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The stylish handsome waiter who brought the dessert spoon suddenly said something like "Oi-ssu (Hoi-ssu)" in a sports club-like manner. It was so unexpected that it kept playing in my mind from all directions, making me smile uncontrollably. I must have seemed like a weird customer. I can't go back there. No, that's a lie. I'll definitely go back. The food was so delicious. Smiling smiling smiling Hoi-ssu.

Lunchtime at the usual Ritche's is a blissful experience when ordering a full bottle of wine. The male staff at the bar always recommends a reasonably priced good wine. For snacks, we had a cheese platter, terrine, and carpaccio, along with my favorite fresh mussels plus seafood. It was delicious. I will definitely visit again.

Oh, I really want to eat fresh mussels. The terrine had deer meat, red wine, and pasta with a delicious seafood flavor and fluffy onions. The natural flounder carpaccio was amazing, especially when paired with white wine. The mussels were upgraded this time with zucchini and squid, making them even more delicious. The three types of desserts were always varied and perfect for those with a sweet tooth. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Lunch of bliss! After the state of emergency was lifted, I had a lunch drink with my junior colleague, toasting with a bottle of wine. I occasionally post on Instagram as well, under the username sato_hiros. We had a guys' lunch from noon! It was so delicious that we had to revisit. My junior colleague was a bit nervous about having Italian food for a guys' lunch, but this place had a relaxed atmosphere and he enjoyed the meal. We had a pasta course with a toast of champagne and beer. I've been on a diet recently, so I asked to switch my pasta for two appetizers. The appetizer of fresh mussels we ordered was incredibly delicious, showcasing the true taste of mussels. I accidentally cut the terrine before taking a photo, but it was a perfect match with wine. I wish I could have this terrine every day to go with my wine. I had a taste of the pasta, and it was indeed delicious and authentic. We left the wine choice to the chef, and the full-bodied Italian red wine with a strong tannin was a great match with the food. We also ordered a separate dessert, the Catalana, which was elegantly presented and tasted like a grown-up dessert with the sweetness of purple sweet potato. The dessert paired well with the wine. Chef Kawasaki is not only skilled but also creates a wonderful and cozy atmosphere. I saw on Instagram that they are offering Christmas appetizers, so I am thinking of going for appetizers or a Christmas dinner. It's a place that I immediately want to visit again for lunch with wine in hand after a surfing session. It was delicious, and I will definitely go back soon!

At a welcome party at work, we had the chef's choice course. The restaurant was small and fully booked on the day we went. It seems to be quite popular. Apart from us, everyone else was in a group of women, creating a lively atmosphere. The pumpkin soup for the appetizer was rich but not overwhelming. It was lovely! The focaccia was plain and went well with the dishes. The herring jelly was surprisingly not fishy or oily at all, and it looked gorgeous with the salmon roe on top. The buri (yellowtail) and maguro (tuna) with balsamic vinegar and mountain wasabi were delicious. The buri was fatty, while the maguro was lighter, creating a nice balance. The gorgonzola sauce with sautéed snapper was also delicious. It had mashed potatoes underneath, giving it a gentle flavor. I forgot the details of the tomato sauce pasta, but it was slightly sweet, leaning towards a napoletana taste. The noodles were slightly firm, which I liked. The main dish of wagyu beef was tasty, but I prefer it a bit more rare, so it was a bit too much for me. Surprisingly, I didn't get heartburn. For dessert, there was tiramisu, fig Basque cheesecake, and pudding. The fig Basque cheesecake was the best! I wish there were more figs in it. I thought about having a girls' night out here next time. The pizza at the neighboring table looked delicious!

During an emergency situation, I felt like I wanted to eat something delicious. This building has had a coworking space upstairs for a long time, and I used to frequent it often! I remember there was a restaurant here back then. The interior of the restaurant is stylish and Italian-themed. It was almost full when I visited. The lunch menu offers four courses: Business Lunch Course (weekdays only), Pasta Course, Pizza Course, Rich Course, and Special Course. I decided to order the Rich Course for 3300 yen. The course included appetizers, a salad with marinated flatfish, mussel wine-steamed with couscous, corn soup, pasta with crab and caper tomato sauce, main dish of tender pork with grilled vegetables in balsamic sauce, assorted desserts, and coffee. The presentation was beautiful and the food was delicious. The owner of the restaurant was attentive to customers, and I received a pleasant surprise during my visit. I wish I had come here sooner. The Italian lunch course was rich and satisfying, with a good balance of pasta and main dishes. I used to come to this place often, and I'm glad I finally did. The delicious food, beautiful presentation, and great service made my experience exceptional.

The ultimate lunch! Enjoy a rich lunch on a tired weekend ☆ I haven't posted any reviews lately... I have about 500 drafts saved. Recently, due to the influence of the coronavirus pandemic, I started surfing during outdoor activities, which led me to connect with the owner chef of a fancy restaurant I had always wanted to visit. I went alone. I had been curious about it for a while because it was close by and I had seen good reviews, so I was really excited! And I'm hungry after surfing! At the entrance on the first floor, there are signs and a menu board, so I quickly checked the menu and took the elevator to the second floor of the restaurant. The interior had a calm atmosphere with wooden shelves displaying wine and glasses. I ordered the pasta course, and since I like terrine, I was going to order it separately, but I was happy that it was included in the set and you could choose from 3 appetizers. The Yezo deer and black pig terrine had no gamey smell, and the strong umami of the black pig and the meatiness of the deer blended well, making it delicious. I had imagined it would be quite strong, but it was easy to eat and recommended even for women. The pickles on the side had a good acidity, so even I, who is not good with pickles, could eat them. As a service, I was served sautéed cod milt. The early catch cod and the sweetness of the potatoes in the sauce went well together, anticipating the taste of the season, and the small but creamy texture and flavor hinted at the coming of autumn. As an additional dish, I had steamed live mussels with wine and couscous, which was really delicious! I loved it. The perfectly cooked live mussels had no fishy taste, and the balance between the virgin olive oil with no bitterness and the umami of the mussels and wine was excellent. The elegant taste of the couscous that looked like minced garlic in the delicious soup complemented the dish. The eggplant, basil, ricotta cheese, and tomato sauce pasta had a firm pasta with a fresh tomato can sauce that was well combined with the eggplant, and the ricotta cheese added depth to the pasta. The faint aroma of fresh basil and the visual appeal of the cheese stimulate the appetite. The dessert, with a slightly bitter taste, was an adult dessert with a colorful sauce that added an accent while enjoying the taste. This time, the pasta course included service and additional dishes, making it a light course. I was very satisfied with the content of the lunch course, as well as the atmosphere and taste of the restaurant. Owner Chef Kawasaki is also charming, and the staff have a high spirit of hospitality, creating an even more wonderful Italian dining experience. He was refreshing while surfing and friendly when talking at the restaurant, with a soft demeanor, but the impressive difference in his gaze during cooking was very striking. It has been a while since I had delicious Italian food. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

The sea urchin spaghettini with rich Shakotan saltwater sea urchin and king crab cubes is served in a delicate glass bowl. The crispy zucchini flower fritter on top of the couscous is a delightful touch. The high-quality, tender and fragrant Ezo venison is perfectly cooked.
