Dinner was at the popular local Hokkaido Italian restaurant, MiaBocca. I had just visited there a month ago. When I arrived a little after 7 o'clock, there were already 4 groups waiting due to its popularity. However, I decided to wait a bit until my family arrived, and in about 10 minutes, we were shown to a window-side booth. Since I like octopus carpaccio, I ordered 2 servings along with a red olive sangria in advance and enjoyed it by myself. When my family joined, we had an appetizer platter, carbonara pizza, and tomato pasta with king crab, all of which were delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were also very polite and friendly, making it a popular restaurant.

I forgot to review my visit from a month ago. On a Sunday night, my family and I went to a local Italian restaurant, Mia Bocca, which uses Hokkaido ingredients. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I arrived early to secure a table and ordered a red sangria and octopus carpaccio to enjoy by myself. When my wife and daughter arrived, we ordered a salad, risotto, and steak. The Taliata (steak) we tried for the first time was tender and rare, dripping with blood. It tasted great with truffle salt, Hokkaido wasabi, or the Japanese-style onion sauce. I ended up drinking three glasses of sangria, which had plenty of fruit in it, my favorite kind. It was a great meal.

At the end of July, my mother passed away. Before her death, we happened to meet at Tamareien when visiting my father's grave, and we had a meal together afterwards. It was almost 10 years ago. After the funeral, I suddenly remembered this place and decided to come. The atmosphere of the restaurant was just like it was back then, and that was comforting. I couldn't remember what pizza or pasta we ate with my mother, or what we talked about, but sitting in the restaurant brought back the feeling of that time. Many of the restaurants we visited together have closed down in recent years, but seeing this restaurant still going strong despite the challenges of COVID made me very happy. I hope they continue to thrive, as this place holds precious memories for me.

On Sunday night, my family and I went to a local Italian restaurant called Miabocca, which uses Hokkaido ingredients. It had been a while since we last visited, and we were pleased to find that the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I arrived before my family to secure a table and after a 15-minute wait, we were seated in a window-side booth with a view of the taxi pool at the South Exit Rotary. The Sangria and Octopus Carpaccio I ordered while waiting were enjoyable. When my wife and daughter arrived, we ordered a variety of dishes including salad, risotto, and steak. The Taliata we tried for the first time was tender and rare, with the option to dip it in truffle salt, Hokkaido wasabi, or a Japanese-style onion sauce, all of which were delicious. The cheese risotto made right in front of us was fragrant and entertaining. I ended up drinking three glasses of Sangria, which I particularly enjoyed for its abundance of fruit. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience.

I used this restaurant for the first time. Since it was night, I was seated right away. I ordered carbonara, panna cotta, and iced tea. However, water was not served at the beginning, which made me feel uneasy. After about 5 minutes, they told me that the panna cotta was sold out and suggested another dessert. I reluctantly changed it to tiramisu. Then, after 5 minutes, my drink arrived but still no water. When the carbonara finally came, the pasta was hard and the bacon was very dark, disappointing. There was hardly any creamy sauce, and I felt like frozen pasta would have been tastier. And still, no water. The staff started eating their meal and running around the empty restaurant, but it took 5 minutes after I finished eating for them to clear my plates. When the dessert came, I requested water, but there was no apology. The dessert was not cold, making me confused if it was really tiramisu. I paid over 2,500 yen for a very disappointing dinner. I wonder if the restaurant is only surviving due to its cheap lunch prices and convenient location in the station. My spirit was crushed.

Located just 1-2 minutes from the ticket gate, this Italian restaurant is very convenient to access with almost no waiting time (based on my experience, I never had to wait in line). Pasta and pizza dishes are around 1300 yen each, while alcohol is around 500 yen. This time, I had the carbonara and scamorza pizza, both of which were delicious. The total cost for two people was 4000 yen. Thank you for the meal!

Dinner on March 9, 2023 (Thursday). I worked in Ichinichimura. For dinner, I got off at Chuo Line. I got off at Musashisakai station, tried two different restaurants but didn't feel right, so ended up at this restaurant on the 2nd floor of Emio. I have been to this chain of restaurants in Tachikawa before. I ordered the "Shimogawa 60 Enzyme Egg" rich carbonara (1480 yen). The carbonara is served with an employee sprinkling pepper on top at the table, using a pepper mill (lol). The flavor of Parmigiano was decent. The noodles were soft, like French pasta. Well, it was just okay. Today's highest temperature in Tokyo was 22.2°C in the city center, 23.8°C in Nerima, and 22.4°C in Fuchu. All were the highest this year, similar to early May. The Tokyo round of the WBC started today. Japan's Otani pitched well as a starter, leading to an 8-1 victory over China.

Italian restaurant located on the 2nd floor of the commercial facility "Emio" at Musashisakai Station on the Seibu Tamagawa Line. I have been living in Musashisakai for about 4 years, but this was my first time using it (´･Д･) Lunch amore set (3300 yen) A lunch set that can be shared by 2 people. A set with a choice of salad, pasta, pizza, and a drink, which is easy to order for 2 people. First, add a glass of beer for +250 yen to the drink. The salad is the "Shirayuki" Caesar salad with Hokkaido Nakasatsunai chicken. The amount of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is so large that it hides the salad. Is it good or bad to look at? The pasta is a rich carbonara with "Shimokawa 60 enzyme egg" for an additional 330 yen. Since there was a child, I added +220 yen for extra large size! This also has Parmigiano on top. It is described as rich, but personally, it is light. The egg yolk is light, and it has a creamy finish with a white appearance. I imagined a rich carbonara without cream using only Shimokawa 60 enzyme eggs, so... For the pizza, add 220 yen for half & half. Margherita and a gooey pizza with 4 kinds of cheese. The 4 cheeses are Gorgonzola, Mascarpone, Grana Padano cheese, and Mozzarella cheese. Honey is kindly provided! The crust is crispy, and the inside is chewy and delicious٩( 'ω' و) Overall, it was cheesy, maybe because of the choice, or the whole place smelled of cheese? The child kept saying "It stinks, it stinks" throughout, but he ate the pasta and pizza w The staff were kind and their treatment of the child was good! Thank you for the meal.

If you want to eat pasta in Musashisakai, this is the place to go. However, it is popular, so lining up is a must during lunchtime. I waited for about 10 minutes before entering. Today's menu included: - Shrimp and avocado pasta for 1450 yen - Two appetizers & a drink for 500 yen The broccoli appetizer was delicious~ This restaurant offers a variety of vegetables and seafood, giving it a healthy image.

There aren't many places in Musashisakai where you can eat delicious pasta, so Mia Bocca is a precious restaurant for that. However, I feel disappointed every time due to the low level of service from the staff. I understand that the part-time workers are just following the manual, but I visit 2-3 times a month and every time they hand me the menu, they ask, "Is this your first time here?" I can see that they want to provide a polite explanation to first-time customers, but the company's attitude of not considering how repeated questioning affects regular customers is disappointing. Today, when I entered, I saw the staff chatting and didn't notice me standing at the entrance for about a minute. During lunchtime, I order the weekly lunch menu (pasta set) instead of the expensive grand menu. Today, I ordered the large portion of "Salsiccia and Broccoli Spaghetti with Black Pepper Fragrance," and it was delicious, including the salad in the set. The disappointing service level of the staff once again stands out to me.

Today, after finally resolving a long-standing worry, my wife and I had a well-deserved dinner. We went to Mia Bocca, a Hokkaido Italian restaurant in our local Musashisakai area. It had been a year since our last visit. We started with sparkling wine and appetizers, our usual order. Then we enjoyed Christmas-themed pasta and chicken sauté. We relaxed while admiring the outdoor illuminations. Mia Bocca uses Hokkaido ingredients and offers delicious dishes at reasonable prices.

I often visit Miabocca, located right near Musashisakai Station. I didn't have the impression that it was particularly cheap, but this time they had a very good set menu deal! It was very busy inside on a Sunday, perhaps because they are a participating restaurant in the Go To Eat campaign. The "Pasta Set" costs 1480 yen before tax and includes a salad, two appetizers, a drink, and pasta. Just considering the pasta alone usually costs 1000-1200 yen, this set is quite a good deal. What's even more amazing is that if you order this set, alcoholic drinks are discounted! Wine and highballs are 200 yen, sparkling wine and beer are 300 yen (and you can order multiple at this price, which is surprising). The salad and two appetizers were served on one plate. The appetizers were broccoli in a peperoncino-style sauce and herb salt chicken breast, both refreshing and generous portions. They were delicious and went well with the drinks. I ordered the shrimp and avocado tomato cream pasta, which was rich, piping hot, and also a generous portion. It's just too good of a deal...I'll have to visit again soon before this offer ends!

Tokyo, Musashisakai. An Italian restaurant adjacent to JR Musashisakai Station. Lunch at "Mia Bocca Emio". The eggplant tomato sauce pasta set is 1480 yen. I ordered the set which includes eggplant tomato sauce pasta, two appetizers, salad, and a drink. The set has a lot of dishes. Today's two appetizers are broccoli with chicken and shimeji mushrooms. The salad is just a little bit of lettuce. It looks a bit underwhelming, but I remind myself that I came to eat the main pasta dish! I wait for the pasta to be served. The eggplant tomato sauce pasta is beautifully presented with fried eggplant and Hokkaido Tokachi "fresh mozzarella cheese" between the pasta. The pasta is mixed with bacon and the tomato sauce is delicious. It's not like ketchup, it's the deliciousness of tomato sauce. The sauce clings to the noodles nicely. The fresh mozzarella cheese softens with the heat of the pasta, and it tastes great when mixed with the sauce and pasta. The combination of tomato sauce is excellent. Eggplant, cheese, tomato, pasta. Each ingredient is a perfect match. It's been a while since I've tasted tomato sauce instead of ketchup, and I am satisfied with the flavor!

I went to a restaurant where you can enjoy Italian cuisine made with ingredients from Hokkaido, as I had plans nearby. I was intrigued by the pasta made with rare Ezo deer, thinking it's a dish you can only try on occasions like this. The pasta features a hamburger made with 100% Hokkaido Ezo deer, topped with a rich sauce made of house wine and balsamic vinegar. The fluffy white topping turned out to be shavings of Grana Padano cheese, which complemented the Ezo deer without overpowering its flavor. The Ezo deer hamburger was light and easy to eat, not greasy like beef, making it a delicious dish. The recommended way to enjoy it from the restaurant was to crumble the hamburger and mix it with the pasta like a meat sauce. Indeed, this method allowed me to savor the flavors evenly and enjoy the dish even more. I would love to try the Sanma spaghetti made with fish from Nemuro next time, as it also caught my interest.

We occasionally leave work early to catch Mia Bocca's happy hour with my wife. They have a happy hour until 6 pm on weekdays, where draft sparkling wine is only 180 yen, which is a steal compared to the regular price of 450 yen. We usually order appetizers and enjoy a light drink. We ordered based on the pictures on the menu: Eggplant Tomato Marinated, Octopus Carpaccio with Mashed Potato Sauce, Roast Beef Carpaccio Style, and Venetian-style Prosciutto and Colorful Salad. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced, making it very convenient. Since our home is nearby, we usually have about 4 glasses of wine during happy hour along with appetizers, and then head home to continue and relax. They also have promotions like Chianti red wine for 2200 yen, making it a great value Hokkaido Italian restaurant.

Yesterday, I went to lunch with someone I had been taken care of before. It was a bit of a late lunch to accommodate my night shift, but the restaurant was quite busy with many customers. The place we visited was "Mia Bocca" at the Emio Musashisakai branch. It's a bit blurry... as usual. Since it was a lunch with a woman, we shared a "2-person lunch amore course" for ¥3000, which includes appetizers, salad, pasta, pizza, focaccia, and drinks. The "Shirayuki Caesar Salad" with chicken from Nakasatsunai was delicious with lots of grated cheese covering the vegetables. We accidentally shared the pasta before taking a photo, but it was the "Vongole Bianco," which was very tasty with a strong salty flavor. The pizza we chose was the "Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza." It was a bit salty, making me quite thirsty afterward. For drinks after the meal, I had hot coffee, while my companion had iced lemon tea. We also decided to order dessert. I had the "Rich Catalana," which was unexpectedly rich and went well with the strong Italian coffee. It was a refreshing and delicious dessert. Throughout the meal, we chatted about work and family. The seating was a bit cramped, but it was understandable as the restaurant is near the station. Overall, I felt that the restaurant could improve a bit more in terms of service and atmosphere.

I decided to enter the Italian restaurant on the second floor of Emio in Musashisakai. I sat at a table on this day. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and has a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the Wood-fired Pizza Set (with salad) for 1080 yen and a cola. I chose the B. Italian Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza. The Italian cuisine uses Hokkaido ingredients, such as pizza with Hokkaido mozzarella cheese and appetizers made with Tokachi ingredients, allowing you to enjoy the deliciousness of Hokkaido in Italian style. The stone oven pizza with arugula and prosciutto is refreshing and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited Mia Bocca nonowa Musashikoganei store in Tokyo, which is a Hokkaido Italian restaurant, to redeem my stamp card for a free lunch dessert. The restaurant is part of a chain owned by Easton Corporation based in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The atmosphere was calm and sophisticated, with a mature clientele. I ordered the Holiday Lunch Pasta Set with salad, which was good but the pasta noodles were a bit thicker than I prefer. I also tried the Hokkaido scallop and sea urchin wrapped in bacon, which was incredibly delicious. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would love to try more dishes from this restaurant in the future.

Italian restaurant located on top of Musashisakai station building. The taste is okay, good for when you're too tired to cook after going out. Great location. It can get crowded during dinner time, but it's spacious so you don't have to worry about sitting close to other tables. They have baby chairs and cutlery. They also have a kids menu with easy-to-eat pasta and pizza that you can share with your child. The staff may not always ask if you need any special accommodations for children, but there was one lovely staff member who was very thoughtful and even mentioned she was studying to become a nursery teacher. It was a nice touch and made us feel welcome.

I love the casual atmosphere where you can just drop in anytime. I enjoy coming here occasionally. The pasta is good, but the wood-fired pizza is especially delicious! Even though it's big, I can finish a whole piece in no time. They have a wide variety of a la carte dishes and drinks, so it's fun to choose.
