JR Kuzuha Station is about a 5-minute walk from "Chiina Tei Kishiwada and Izumi Store" where we had dinner. Intrigued by its ranking as the number 1 Italian restaurant in Kishiwada, we headed there directly from our Sanuki Gourmet Tour. With parking space for 10 cars, it is convenient even for those coming from afar. The "Chiina Group," with 4 locations in Osaka and one in Kishiwada, offers consistently high-quality food, atmosphere, and cost performance. The authentic flavors at reasonable prices make it one of my favorite restaurants. The ambiance of the approach is fantastic. Upon entering the restaurant, you are greeted by the "3 delicious reasons" - all-you-can-eat freshly baked pizza for 3,000 yen! I wonder how many slices the record holder has eaten. The specialty is the stone oven-baked Roman pizza. The top 3 pizzas at Chiina Tei are Margherita, Chiina specialty, and homemade roast pork mushroom - all of which I have tried and found to be exquisite. The spacious and chic interior of the restaurant was bustling with families, couples, and other customers. The attentive and friendly service provided by the lovely female staff members, even in the midst of their busy schedule, left a lasting impression. The menu offers a variety of dishes, from salads to fried foods, wine-friendly appetizers, stone oven dishes, stone oven-baked gnocchi, classic Italian pizzas, original pizzas, chewy fresh pasta, and desserts - all of which are exceptionally delicious. The drink menu is also reasonably priced and diverse. Orders can be placed through a QR code, which I have become accustomed to using. The flavor-enhancing condiments (habanero sauce, honey) were also on standby. Don't forget to save room for the fig mascarpone sandwich at the end. With cheers and a toast of two glasses of draft beer, oolong tea, non-alcoholic beer, and ginger ale, we celebrated the successful completion of the Sanuki Gourmet Tour and our safe return to Osaka. The draft beer was smooth and refreshing - a perfect way to start the meal. The assorted appetizer platter, comprising five different dishes, was a favorite of mine. The basil potato salad served with crackers, frittata, salmon marinated, pickled sardines, and olives (green and black) made for a delightful start to the meal. The basil potato salad on a cracker was a particular highlight for me, with its fragrant basil, crispy cracker, nutty crunch, fruity raisin acidity - a combination that I could eat forever. The organic red wine was a fresh and well-balanced wine with a good aroma, acidity, and a hint of bitterness. It paired perfectly with the meal and was a delightful choice for a dining companion. I have tried various types of prosciutto in the past, but this Italian prosciutto was truly exceptional.

I heard that there is a popular Italian restaurant in Minami Osaka and decided to visit it! It's a great place with its own parking lot, located in Shinsaibashi. They specialize in oven-baked pizzas and fresh pasta, offering delicious and affordable Italian cuisine. The atmosphere inside is spacious, bright, and welcoming, with tables and sofas, as well as private rooms for groups of five or more. I tried their famous pizzas, the "Pizza Chiena" and the "Buffalo Margherita," both in medium size. The Pizza Chiena, an original dish of the restaurant, was incredibly delicious with its creamy mascarpone, anchovy, and garlic toppings. The pasta dishes, such as the Shrimp and Basil Cream Pasta and the Smoked Ham Carbonara, were also fantastic. I also enjoyed the Avocado Shrimp Egg Salad, Roast Pork, Mussels in White Wine, Mushroom and Shrimp Ajillo, and Mascarpone Sandwich for dessert. The limited edition "Pizza Chiena" was definitely worth the visit to Kishiwada. I also had a great experience at their sister restaurant in Osaka city.

Ordering with a smartphone! Scan the QR code to order, and the food arrives at your table right away! It's really fast. The pizza and pasta took a little longer, but they were incredibly delicious. I was very satisfied with the dessert as well! I want to come back again.

My wife had the pizza lunch set, while I had the pasta lunch set. Both sets came with salad, appetizer, and a drink. The pizza was loaded with cheese and had a fluffy crust, very filling. The pasta was made with thick, chewy fresh noodles and the basil sauce was delicious.

Half & Half Pizza (Quattro Formaggi, Genovese with nuts) had a chewy pizza crust with plenty of cheese. The beef tendon meat sauce pasta was so chewy that it made even the picky people from Kagawa prefecture impressed. The price was reasonable and I will definitely be a repeat customer!

The owner seemed to be in the mood for wine, so I searched and visited this place for the first time! I ordered a platter of 5 appetizers, shrimp and mushroom ajillo, added focaccia, homemade pickles, and chicken tomato sauce pasta using a system where I scanned a QR code with my phone to place the order. I was looking forward to the pizza, but after enjoying the focaccia, I felt satisfied and stopped at the pasta. The focaccia was soft and delicious, the pickles were refreshing and easy to finish, and the pasta had thick noodles that were firm yet chewy and tasty. The semi-private atmosphere makes it easy to use for dates or girls' night out!

I used it for a friend's birthday party. There were 3 adults and 2 elementary school children, and we were guided to a spacious private room with toys and books for children to play with. The food was all delicious and served very quickly! I pre-ordered a dessert plate, and it was even cuter than I imagined!! My friend was also pleased, and it was a great experience. 😊

I heard that this restaurant in Kishiwada was ranked number one for Italian cuisine, so I had high expectations when I went. My family ordered shrimp pasta with basil cream sauce, beef tendon meat sauce pasta, and a pizza to share. The mentaiko pizza was too salty for my taste, and the beef tendon meat sauce pasta was not to my liking either. The pasta noodles were chewy, but personally, I found all the flavors to be too strong and salty, so it wasn't a taste that made me want to come back.

This is my second visit to the Italian restaurant "Chiina-tei" near Kumedaida Station. It's a popular place for its pizza and fresh pasta, perfect for a leisurely group gathering. They offer various courses, and this time we chose Course B with all-you-can-drink option. One of the great things about this place is their flexible reservation system. For example, not everyone in the group has to have the same drink option for the all-you-can-drink, and you can also add on a pizza or appetizer buffet for an additional fee (reservation required in advance). Ordering is done through a smartphone by scanning a barcode, which is convenient as you don't have to call a server every time. The dishes kept coming one after another and all of them were delicious. The only downside was that the clam pasta was a bit undercooked this time. The restaurant is only a 5-minute walk from the station and they also have parking available. Thank you for the meal!

I felt like eating pizza and came here. There are not many pizza shops nearby, so... The appeal is that you can order half and half uniformly, so even if two people come, you can enjoy two different flavors. The salad didn't have much volume. The fresh pasta is chewy and delicious, but I wish the sauce had a little more thickness to better coat the pasta. I would like to come back here again in the future.

I had been curious about a restaurant called "Chiina-tei" in Minami Osaka, which is popular for its wood-fired pizza and fresh pasta. So, I decided to visit the restaurant on a Sunday night. The restaurant is located about a 5-minute walk from JR Hanwa Line's Kumeda Station, next to a pizza delivery place called "Pizza-la," which I found interesting. The restaurant has a cozy Italian-style building with a spacious interior that can accommodate around 50 customers. Orders are placed using a smartphone, although there is also a menu available. I noticed that some dishes listed on the menu were not available when ordering through the smartphone system. The restaurant offers a wide selection of reasonably priced wines, and by signing up as a member, customers can get a discount of 1000 yen on wine bottles, which range from 2500 to 4000 yen per bottle. I tried a variety of dishes, including a mixed appetizer plate, grilled avocado with salt, mushroom and shrimp ajillo, basil potato salad, herb-grilled roast pork with mushrooms, gorgonzola cream gnocchi, basil cream pasta with shrimp, and the signature Chiina and prosciutto salad pizza. The pizza had a unique chewy texture from a blend of five types of Hokkaido wheat flour and natural yeast. The Chiina pizza was topped with a large dollop of mascarpone cheese and anchovies, while the prosciutto salad pizza featured prosciutto on a bed of leafy greens with balsamic sauce drizzled on top. Overall, the food was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the creamy pasta and the flavorful pizzas.

The atmosphere was lively due to overlapping reservations with a group. I ordered a medium-sized pizza, which had a thick crust that I liked. In addition to the classic options you would find at a regular pizza place, they also had original pizzas, so I decided to try one of those. You can choose two different flavors for the same price, so I picked two! The honey and cheese dip was delicious, with the soft sweetness of the sauce complementing the saltiness of the crackers perfectly. The gnocchi was also chewy and tasty! The menu has a variety of options, so I definitely want to come back to try more flavors.

Women should definitely go to this place because it has flavors that women would love! Once you try it, you'll get hooked♪ The texture of the dough is chewy even when it cools down. The assortment of appetizers in the course meal allows you to enjoy various flavors little by little, making you very satisfied✨ The desserts were also delicious! I want to go again♪♪

We came to the restaurant for my son's birthday, who loves pizza. I didn't think he would be able to eat that much even though it was all-you-can-eat pizza, but the sizes were quite manageable and he kept eating. They also had all-you-can-eat salad and pasta, so my son was very satisfied. The price was very reasonable too, so no complaints. It was great to be able to celebrate my son's birthday here!

Kishiwada Italian restaurant ranked 1st! I had visited a sister store in Osaka city before, so I decided to try this one. The menu is basically the same, but this store has a slightly larger menu. They are particularly known for their desserts! I ordered the following: - Prosciutto Salad (¥748) - Avocado and Shrimp Egg Salad (¥1078) - Honey and Cheese Dip (¥308) - Creamy Salmon Marinade (¥748) - Italian Fried Chicken (¥638) - Herb Grilled Roast Pork and Mushrooms (¥1078) - Basil Chicken Ajillo (with Focaccia) (¥1056) - Red Wine Braised Pork Loin (¥1078) - Specialty Pizza! Chiena L (¥1408) - Mascarpone Raisin Sandwich (¥300) - Mascarpone Lemon Sandwich (¥300) - Mascarpone Pistachio Sandwich (¥300) A must-try is the Chiena pizza. The generous amount of mascarpone with anchovies, garlic, and olive oil is a perfect combination! Even though I was already quite full, I enjoyed every last bite. The mascarpone sandwich desserts were beyond bakery quality. I couldn't resist getting seconds. They were all delicious, but my favorite was the lemon! I usually love pistachio, but the rich mascarpone cream combined with lemon pulp was so amazing that it outshined the others. There are several sister stores in Osaka prefecture, but personally, this one was the best in terms of taste! It may be a bit far in Kishiwada, but it's definitely a restaurant worth visiting.

The pizza was lukewarm. I went there craving for a hot pizza. It was served just a few minutes after ordering, which seemed too fast. The toppings were not sizzling. To my surprise, the pizza was not hot. Even delivery pizza is hotter. Did they microwave the pizza dough with the toppings on it instead of baking it? I wanted to try the fresh pasta, but decided against it. The mixed appetizer plate was delicious. The taste was good and I think it's good value for money. The atmosphere was nice, with comfortable sofas. It's a cozy place, but I won't be going back. It's a shame despite the many positive reviews.

Stone oven baked pizza is delicious at this restaurant. I visited this restaurant in Kishiwada, which is a sister store of my favorite Italian sister store that opened last May. The pizza here is made with a blend of 5 types of Hokkaido wheat flour and natural heritage sourdough that is slowly fermented and matured to bring out the maximum balance of wheat flavor. Although it is in Osaka, the building has a fun and stylish atmosphere, giving the feeling of being in a cottage on a trip. The interior is spacious and bright, with large wooden tables and sofa seats for a relaxed dining experience. Orders are placed by scanning a QR code and ordering from your own smartphone. There are also menus on the tables, making it easy to choose dishes with large photos. I ordered the following dishes: - Homemade Sangria 480 yen - Avocado and Shrimp Egg Salad 980 yen - House Red Wine (Decanter) 1,000 yen - Water Buffalo Cheese Margherita Pizza 980 yen - Roman Pizza (Half & Half) 1,280 yen - Roast Pork and Mushroom Herb Grill 980 yen - Squid and Spicy Cod Roe Pasta 980 yen - Limoncello 580 yen - Dessert Assortment 780 yen The food was delicious, especially the Water Buffalo Cheese Margherita Pizza and the Roman Pizza. The atmosphere was great, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant for a tasty and enjoyable dining experience.

In Izumiotsu, there is a popular casual Italian dining bar known for its wood-fired pizzas and fresh pasta, with no time limit on seating (Italian style), so it's okay to stay until closing. The menu ordered on this day included: 1. Smoked prosciutto 2. Roast pork and mushroom herb grill 3. Shrimp and basil cream pasta 4. Red wine braised pork loin 5. Cheese platter 6. Crispy cheese fries 7. Natural yeast Roman pizza half & half - Prosciutto salad (tomato sauce, salad, prosciutto, balsamic mayo, blend cheese) - CAT: Cat pizza (chicken, avocado, tomato, anchovy sauce, blend cheese) 8. Steamed and grilled squid, shrimp, and mussels 9. Natural yeast Roman pizza half & half - Margherita (mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil) - Chorizo Bismarck (tomato sauce, chorizo, egg, blend cheese) 10. Tiramisu ice cream 11. Dessert platter (chocolate cake, blood orange and pistachio gelato, Basque cheesecake) The shrimp and basil cream pasta was especially delicious, with the fresh pasta being chewy and perfectly coated in the cream sauce. The pizza highlight was the Chorizo Bismarck, where the egg mellowed out the strong flavors of the other toppings. With no time limit on seating, it's recommended for a girls' night out or gathering with friends.

Atmosphere... A stylish house with white plastered walls. Cost performance... ★★★★★ (highest) Lots of unique menu ideas that you won't see elsewhere. Each one was delicious and impressive. - Pizza China (¥1408): Mascarpone, anchovy, garlic, blend cheese. The mascarpone cheese is surprisingly rich and creamy without any roughness. The cheese itself has almost no saltiness, but when combined with anchovy and olive oil, it's amazing. Addictive. The garlic that comes through later enhances the flavors. This is a must-order. - Shrimp and Basil Cream (¥1078): A very rich basil cream sauce. Personally, I love basil sauce, so this was fantastic. The shrimp was large and satisfyingly firm. - Assorted 5 kinds (¥1078): This basil potato salad on Ritz crackers exceeds expectations. I've had it at other affiliated shops, but it's addictive. It's not too heavy and goes really well with Ritz crackers. In summary, the level of the pizza here is quite high. And the price is surprising. It's a bit far, but definitely worth a visit.

I visited this restaurant in South Osaka with a friend who lives in the area, which is ranked as the number one Italian restaurant in South Osaka on Tabelog. It was very lively with lots of girls' gatherings and couples. We ordered the following: Pride Potato 380 yen, Assorted Appetizers 680 yen, Smoked Duck Breast 380 yen, Famous Shrimp and Basil Cream Pasta 980 yen, Buffalo Margherita and Quattro Formaggi Pizza 980 yen (M size, half and half), and Assorted Desserts 780 yen. It's no surprise that this place is ranked number one in South Osaka! The cost performance is great, and the stone oven pizza is delicious. The staff were friendly, and it was cute how they took out the syrup for the iced coffee from their pocket. The stone oven pizza is addictive and it's no wonder it's so popular. Thank you for the meal!

The banquet course with 2-hour all-you-can-drink option for 4000 yen was great. We also opted for the pizza all-you-can-eat option for an additional 500 yen. The pizza, which is very popular in Minami Osaka, was delicious and we ended up eating more than 10 pieces among 4 of us. They also offer a course with all-you-can-eat prosciutto, which sounds very tempting. The service was polite and the staff were friendly, creating a wonderful atmosphere in the restaurant. I would love to visit this lovely restaurant again. Thank you for the meal!

The all-you-can-eat pizza course includes salad, assorted appetizers, french fries, meat sauce pasta, and more. You can choose from 16 types of pizza, and since they are not very large, you can order many. Four men finished 10 different pizzas. Everyone was surprised at how much they could eat. Whether you have a big appetite or not, you should definitely try it out! See you next time! ✋
