First visit on 5/11 (Wed). We made a reservation for 2 people in advance. This Italian restaurant is located inside the hotel "Mercure Kyoto Station," about an 8-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station's central exit. The spacious restaurant has a good number of seats, including comfortable sofa seats. However, the tables felt a bit unstable and shaky. We reserved the 2,000 yen Seasonal Lunch set (appetizer, soup, pasta, bread, dessert, and post-meal drink). Drinks during the meal are extra, with soft drinks and alcoholic beverages available. Since I don't drink alcohol, I ordered the Lemonade Squash from the soft drink menu (500 yen). The "Seasonal Lunch - May" menu included: Marinated chicken and grilled vegetables, Beet and potato soup, Basil Tagliatelle with firefly squid and fresh tomato, Homemade focaccia, Matcha and red bean tiramisu, and Coffee or tea. At 2,000 yen for a set including appetizer, soup, bread, pasta, dessert, and post-meal drink, it's a wallet-friendly option and highly recommended. Among the dishes we tried, the Tagliatelle with firefly squid and fresh tomato was delicious. I didn't know firefly squid and tomato went so well together! The Beet and potato soup also had a gentle sweetness and was tasty. I'd love to go back when the menu changes with the seasons. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal ☆
