The tables are quite close together, but the buffet is the main attraction in this stylish restaurant. We shared various types of pasta and pizza with my family, and they were all delicious with a strong garlic and salt flavor. I had the porcini mushroom cream pasta, and the thick noodles coated in rich cream were exactly to my liking. The slightly nutty aroma of the porcini mushrooms was amazing, and it was the first time I truly enjoyed them. The buffet had about 10 different options, all authentic and just the right amount to try a little of everything. I especially loved the garlic rice. The dessert selection of about 10 items, including cakes and jellies, was of high quality and didn't feel like a typical buffet. There was also a drink bar that got the kids excited. The prices seemed to vary between weekends and weekdays, but it's hard to find such authentic and affordable Italian buffet. I would love to visit again.

This restaurant in the area seems to always be full of people whenever you pass by. I was curious, so I decided to give it a try. I chose pasta and pizza for the main dishes, and the rest was buffet style. For an additional 400 yen, you get four small cakes. The cakes were delicious! The buffet dishes were also tasty! There were a lot of drink options as well. However, the pasta and pizza were just okay. Overall, I'm not someone who wants to eat a lot at a buffet, so my overall satisfaction is average, and I won't be returning.

Around 1:00, there was no line outside and the parking lot was empty, so I decided to visit. I couldn't get the attention of the staff at the entrance, they seemed busy and I didn't know what to do, so I felt a bit lost. After waiting, I was finally seated. The space between tables was narrow and a bit uncomfortable. I chose the lunch set which included a choice of dish, Italian salad bar, soup, free drinks, and a selection of 3 desserts. I chose the Bacon and Eggplant in Tomato Sauce pasta, which was delicious with lots of cheese. I also had the White Shrimp Spaghetti, which was also very tasty. The white shrimp reminded me of a tempura bowl I had in Toyama and it was great to have it again. The dessert selection was a bit limited, but it was enough for me. I was a bit disappointed that there was no milk for the tea, but they had coffee creamer. Next time, I'll bring my own milk. I wonder what the reviews meant by dessert wagon service. Overall, everything was delicious and it's easy to see why this place is popular. It's clean and enjoyable.

I used it for a birthday celebration. It was last minute, but they prepared a very cute birthday plate for me. The main menu, appetizer buffet, dessert buffet, and free drinks were all included. I was so full! It was delicious.

Dinner at the adorable restaurant Louisiana Mama in Kyoto Hachiman. The system and menu are similar to Canary Row. Main menu includes buffet with appetizers, cake, and drinks. Seasonal pasta with eggplant tomato sauce for ¥2630 (excluding tax). Carbonara pasta for ¥2290 (excluding tax). Beef ragu sauce pasta for ¥2430 (excluding tax). Colorful appetizers, a variety of cakes, all delicious. It's a cute and delicious restaurant that I love.

I visited for lunch and it was already full. The menu was extensive and it took me a while to decide. I chose a main dish, and enjoyed all-you-can-eat appetizers and all-you-can-drink beverages. I was already full. The service was good and I was satisfied with the delicious food.

I went at 11:30 on Monday! I arrived before it started to get crowded, so I entered smoothly. I ordered pasta and chose the set with all-you-can-eat salad. It cost around 1800 yen. I stayed for 2 hours from entering. I'm not sure if there was a time limit, but I was able to enjoy my tea slowly after the meal. The salad buffet was delicious and satisfying. They also sell local vegetables in the store, making it a place I would like to visit again. It would be great if it was a bit more affordable.

Garlic and bacon devil-style spaghetti for 1,298 yen. The spaghetti was delicious, but I couldn't quite figure out what made it "devil-style." It didn't fill me up, but when I had bread or rice from the salad bar, I got full. The soup was lukewarm and the taste was just okay. The espresso was delicious. Overall, I'm satisfied and full. Thank you for the meal.

I visited Louisiana Mama for the first time the other day. It's a store that you can't go to without a car, so my friend took me there. Thank you so much! The cute and mysterious approach to the entrance draws you into the world of this restaurant. The interior is also adorable with Italian decor, making your heart flutter. Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered a pizza or pasta as the main dish, and the appetizers and desserts were all-you-can-eat buffet style. I piled my plate with various appetizers that I liked, and my favorite was the chicken ham! It was moist and tender, and I feel like I could eat as many pieces as I want. I might try making it at home sometime. When you enjoy delicious food, it enriches your meals at home as well. I was amazed when I tried a bit of my friend's fresh fettuccine pasta. The thickness of the pasta was unbelievable! However, I regretted my own pasta choice... A garlic and bacon arrabbiata in a Japanese-style soup base. It said double the garlic and chili, and it really was! The next day, I was glad I had no plans... And finally, it was time for dessert. My stomach was already 80-90% full, but I still wanted to eat! There were about 12 desserts lined up, but I had to carefully choose. I selected five desserts in the end, and my gluttony was in full swing. It was a day to indulge in desires! The chiffon cake was fluffy, the two-layer cheesecake was delicious, the lemon tart, mango pudding, and my favorite, mango tart. I was having a deep conversation, but the mango tart brought me back to its deliciousness. So happy! This Italian restaurant, which is a chain that you don't see much in Osaka, was worth visiting again. Good value for money, and I wish there was one near my place. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the restaurant formerly known as Canary Row Kyoto Hachiman store, which has now been renamed to Louisiana Mama due to company reasons. The interior of the restaurant remains the same as before. COVID-19 measures were in place, such as wearing masks and disposable gloves at the salad and drink bar, using sanitized tongs, and returning used trays. We decided to share pasta and pizza, ordering the "Fettuccine Beef Ragu Sauce" and the "Pizza Campania" with vegetables. The lunch set included a salad and drink bar, as well as four desserts with the ragu pasta, which was enough for two people. The fettuccine was rich and flavorful, with plenty of cheese, while the pizza had green asparagus and bacon with melted cheese on top. The pizza dough was chewy, and the oregano added a nice flavor. The restaurant was busy, mostly with women, and we ended the meal with a choice of four desserts, which were all delicious. After coffee, we left quickly from the slightly crowded restaurant. It was a nostalgic taste reminiscent of Canary Row. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Sunday limited dessert buffet lunch~♪ I made a reservation the day before because I heard that there was a limited time offer for a dessert buffet during lunch hours. The reservation was available for those who arrive between 11:00-11:30, and there is also a daily dessert buffet from 14:30-16:30 during cafe time. The lunch set includes an Italian salad bar + dessert buffet + free drink for 1,680 yen (excluding tax). I arrived 2 minutes before the 15:00 reservation time, and there were already several groups waiting outside the restaurant. The restaurant opened promptly, and I was the first to be seated following the reservation. The lunch set includes a choice of pasta or pizza, and I opted for the Scallops and Asparagus Tomato Cream Pasta in a smaller portion (apparently, the dinner buffet offers side dishes like roasted duck). After placing my order, I went to the buffet table to choose my items. I picked various desserts from the buffet, except for the caramel one. From the salad bar, I avoided items I don't like and focused on soups and non-carb options. The pasta arrived after about 10 minutes, and I took some photos before digging in. The antipasto included marinated peppers, pickles, sweet potato salad, sautéed pumpkin, and tomato-stewed mixed beans. The flavors were not too strong as mentioned in reviews, and everything tasted pretty good. However, there were fewer raw vegetables in the salad bar than expected, with only lettuce, red cabbage, bean sprouts, and onion slices available. The pasta was average, slightly salty, and in a smaller portion as requested, which made me wonder if I should have ordered more. I requested some cheese to be grated on top, which added a nice touch. I also had pumpkin soup, focaccia, and okra for seconds. The focaccia was dry and not enjoyable when dipped in pasta sauce. The pumpkin soup was light with a good amount of vegetables. Finally, it was time for desserts, and I was looking forward to the Baked Cheesecake and Cheesecake Tart with two layers, which were the most popular. Unfortunately, they were not to my taste, lacking cheese flavor and being overly sweet. The Pumpkin Tart was tasty with cinnamon powder, but still on the sweeter side. The Montebianco, a chestnut and chocolate cake, was too sweet for me. The Brownie with almonds and walnuts had a nice texture with cinnamon but was too rich and gooey for my liking. Out of the 12 dessert options, I found 7 cakes, including 2 chocolate ones, 3 jellies, a pudding, and caramel, to be generally too sweet for my taste. Some desserts seemed more commercial-like. The jellies were flavorful with a strong fruit juice taste. Despite the 120-minute time limit for dessert refills, I decided not to have seconds as I was already full from the pasta. After about 80 minutes, I left the restaurant. The total bill, after a 5% discount from a coupon on Tabelog, came to 2,103 yen, which seemed a bit higher than expected. When I asked about the pasta options, there was no mention of an additional charge, so I was a bit confused about the final amount. Overall, despite the popularity and full house, I felt that the cost-performance ratio was not as great as I had hoped for, especially considering the time and effort it took to get there. I walked for 30 minutes in 30-degree heat to burn off some of the calories on my way back to the station, and then spent another hour on the train ride home. I hope it was worth it. Thank you for the meal.

During family gatherings like Obon and Golden Week, we often enjoy hearty Italian cuisine at this restaurant. They have a parking lot, and the staff are always friendly. When you choose a pasta or pizza main dish, it comes with a buffet of side dishes, dessert, and a drink bar. The price ranges from around ¥1980 to ¥2500, and using the buffet without a main dish is about ¥300 cheaper. The pasta dishes like creamy mushroom, Genovese, and peperoncino are delicious, and I also tried the seasonal cold carbonara for ¥2450. Even though I ordered a special dish, I always find the simplest options to be the most enjoyable. The freshly made pasta in creamy sauce was also delicious. The buffet is a highlight with a variety of side dishes like garlic oil marinated shiitake mushrooms, marinated paprika, marinated sardines, and bulgur wheat salad. The salad with cheese shavings, cold corn soup, and fried chicken are also tempting. I always end up overeating and struggling with the dessert buffet, which offers a wide selection of treats. This is not a fancy restaurant, and the flavors are bold, but it's a fun place to enjoy hearty meals with family. Just be careful not to overeat!笑

Portofino Pizza for 2354 yen. Genovese with shrimp and scallops for 2570 yen, total 4924 yen. If you go at 7:00 pm, you can expect to wait for about 20 people ahead of you. I waited for about 30 minutes. You can choose between pizza or pasta as your main dish, and the antipasto, dolce, and drinks are buffet style. The antipasto includes fried chicken, jambalaya, mussels, smelt fish, salad, corn soup, olives, focaccia, and 20 other items. It's so delicious that you might end up eating too much before your main dish arrives. The pizza and pasta were also delicious. There were about 10 different dolce options, and although I couldn't try them all, the cheesecake and mango pudding were especially delicious. I would like to come back for a cake set during cafe time.

I went to Louisiana Mama's dessert buffet across from Hot Spring Lamp near Otoko-yama Library. The cafe time costs 1800 yen and includes not only desserts but also a salad bar and drink bar. The salad bar has rice and bread, and the Italian dressing is delicious. The drink bar has 5 types of juice, including 2 vegetable juices. The highlight here is the wide variety of tea. As for the dessert buffet, the maple chiffon with whipped cream in the bottom left corner was the best. The mousse desserts were all delicious. The tiramisu, being from an Italian restaurant, was not too sweet and had a strong adult flavor from the alcohol. Honestly, for 1800 yen in Yahata, there are probably better options in terms of cost performance, but this is a good place for women to enjoy chatting together.

My husband and I are heavy repeaters at the Kameoka store in Kyoto. Today, we visited the Yahata store. The atmosphere is bright and reminiscent of Italy, which we like, but it can feel a bit cramped (especially at the Kameoka store). The menu mainly consists of pasta and pizza, along with antipasto salad, a drink bar, and even a cake buffet for around 2000 yen per person for lunch (prices may vary slightly by store). This allows you to enjoy various delicious Italian dishes easily. Today, my husband and I ordered Bolognese and Gnocchi (a seasonal menu). We enjoyed the al dente pasta and fluffy gnocchi. However, as always, we tend to overeat due to the all-you-can-eat option, which sometimes leaves us with a painful stomach. We left the restaurant with full bellies. While the main branches were in Nara and Kyoto before, it seems that they have expanded to the Tokai region as well. I recommend everyone to visit at least once.

Located in a quiet residential area of Yawata City, Kyoto Prefecture, just off National Route 1, is a stylish Italian restaurant called Luigianna Mama, which replaced the former Canary Row in March 2015. The restaurant has a fairytale-like appearance with a touch of exotic flair. The French retro interior is bathed in sunlight, with lovely tablecloths resembling brick walls. The spacious tables make it a stress-free dining experience, especially for families with children. We each chose pasta dishes: Mushroom Cream Sauce (¥1390 tax included) and Mushroom and Spicy Cod Roe (¥1490 tax included). The Mushroom Cream Sauce pasta had a simple flavor of mushrooms and cream, with the option to add extra noodles. The Mushroom and Spicy Cod Roe pasta featured smooth, slightly thick noodles, sautéed mushrooms, and finely chopped green onions for added flavor.

I stopped by after going to Costco. The building looked stylish and I wondered what kind of shop it was, but it turned out to be an Italian restaurant. They had a main dish and a buffet with lots of vegetables and fried chicken. I chose the mentaiko spaghetti as my main dish - the portion was quite large but the mentaiko flavor was a bit mild. The best part was that desserts were all-you-can-eat, and they were homemade. The cheesecake was rich and delicious. I later found out that the chiffon cake was popular for being fluffy, but I missed out on trying it so I want to go back again.
