I made a reservation for my dog's birthday and visited for the first time. They had a menu for dogs, and my dog was happily eating. The pizza and pasta were delicious. Usually, when you bring your dog, you have to sit on the terrace, but being allowed inside is great for dog owners, especially in the hot summer. I will definitely visit again while taking a walk.

I visited an Italian restaurant near Waseda University for the first time in years. I couldn't remember the taste, but we shared two types of pizza. This time we had Quattro Formaggi and Chitignielli. Both were authentic and full of cheese... delicious!

This restaurant is always booked by groups. It's hard to find a place with private rooms near Waseda University. Here, you can rent a private room for at least 15 people for 5000 yen each. However, if you have less than 15 people, the cost per person will be high, so be careful. The food is good, and they also offer all-you-can-drink beer, wine, highballs, etc., which makes it a good deal. It might be a good choice for Waseda University alumni who gather in large groups. I recommend it!

I used it for Sunday lunch. It's a rare, nice atmosphere in Waseda, with a few couples here and there. There are sofa seats available as well. You can also have beer with lunch, so you can enjoy day drinking. The spaghetti and pizza were delicious, and a salad was included. It costs around 1200-1400 yen. I ended up ordering a few beers, so it was about 2000 yen per person.

I visited on Sunday and managed to get a seat for a late lunch. The pizza crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with plenty of stretchy cheese. I like my pizza with a bit of a kick, so I drizzled some oil on top. I'd like to try the tomato sauce flavor next time. It seems that dogs are also welcome. I forgot to take a picture, but the stained glass of a dog near the entrance was lovely.

I have been coming to this restaurant since the days of the old Western-style restaurant. It has been renovated into a classy Italian restaurant with a proper pizza oven and restarted with a focus on pizza. I have come to eat here several times, and the pizza has clearly become more delicious. The pizza may have reached a level where it's worth coming from afar to eat. It has been crowded recently, so it might be a good idea to make a reservation before visiting.

I casually walked in for a light dinner, but unexpectedly the food was so delicious that I'm feeling really happy. I ordered a seafood salad, a Bismarck pizza, and linguine alle vongole with sparkling wine. The seafood salad was amazing with fresh oysters, octopus, and seaweed. The dressing was perfect too. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up ordering a Caesar salad as well. The Bismarck pizza was juicy and delicious, definitely better than some high-end Italian restaurants. The linguine alle vongole had plenty of clams and was really tasty. The salads and pizza were just so delicious and exactly to my liking. I'm hooked and will definitely come back for more. Also, this restaurant is pet-friendly, so I was happy to be able to bring my dog along. It was a delicious night that made all the stress from Friday disappear. Another day of happiness thanks to delicious food. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this place for lunch for the first time! There were many female customers and families, so there was a line. They only offer lunch menus, which are more like student-friendly pizzas. It feels more like pizza bread than pizza. It's chewy, but it seems like it was just taken out of the fridge or the fermentation process wasn't quite right, as there are burnt spots on the edges. Also, the thick mozzarella makes it harden quickly. I ordered the daily pasta with smoked swordfish and rapeseed arabiata. It's quite spicy but delicious! I didn't really need the bread though. They sometimes allow dogs, and on those days, there are dogs in the shop, which is great for dog lovers!

Visited the super long-established pizzeria "Pizzeria TAKATA BOKUSYA," located a 4-minute walk from Waseda Station and established in 1905. Originally a milk hall, it became a wood-fired pizza shop during the fourth generation. Arrived 10 minutes before opening on a Sunday and was the third in line. Managed to enter right when they opened. While it's a large space, it was fully packed within 20 minutes. Ordered the Margherita lunch menu for 1,150 yen, which came with a salad and a cola. Great value! It was served in about 10 minutes. The balance between the tangy and sweet tomato sauce and the rich, flavorful cheese was excellent and very delicious. The aroma of basil was also nice. The salad with garlic-flavored dressing was a perfect palate cleanser. Enjoyed every bit of it until the end.

The Margherita pizza had a chewy and fragrant crust, and was very delicious. The tomato acidity was slightly mild, and it balanced well with the mozzarella cheese. The tiramisu in the dessert set had more of a sponge-like texture than a cheese flavor. The special pizza and pasta that other customers were eating looked delicious as well. I would like to go back and eat there again.

Today, I went to a cozy restaurant with a chic tone and a warm, woody ambiance to gather with friends. We had a large group, so we decided to leave the ordering to the chef, and the dishes we received included a cheese platter, a charcuterie platter, fresh fish carpaccio, homemade sausage, Gorgonzola gnocchi, and spaghetti alle vongole. The pizza, cooked in a wood-fired oven, was particularly delicious with a crispy crust, gooey cheese, and juicy toppings. The gnocchi was soft and chewy, and the homemade sausage was flavorful and meaty. The restaurant is located a 5-minute walk from Waseda Station, right in front of Waseda University. Despite its somewhat inconvenient location, the restaurant was packed on a weekday night, which speaks to its quality food, reasonable prices, and cozy atmosphere.

Blog "Pet Care": https://pet-restaurant.com/ Pet entry range: indoors (limited seats) (Pet menu: ✔, Pet water: ✔, Leash hook: ✔, Pet cart: ✔) This time, I experienced gourmet dining at "PizzeriaTAKATABOKUSYA" located about a 5-minute walk from Waseda Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. In a casual and stylish interior, you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine centered around Neapolitan pizza using authentic ingredients. Pets are allowed inside the restaurant, but since seating is limited, reservations are essential. The restaurant's specialty pizza is recreated using traditional Neapolitan methods, baked in a stone oven with firewood at a high temperature of over 400 degrees for just 90 seconds. The firewood used for this purpose is prominently stacked in front of the shop. Although pets are allowed inside, there is a small space on the left side of the entrance that is somewhat separated like a terrace seat, mainly equipped with sofa seats, which is the area where pets are allowed. With only about 4 tables available, it is advisable to make a reservation. The resident dog freely roaming inside the restaurant came to greet us at our table. The menu mainly features pizzas, with 13 varieties each of tomato sauce-based and mozzarella cheese-based pizzas available in S size (about 20cm) and L size (about 25cm). You can also choose from 12 toppings. In addition, pasta, appetizers, desserts, and a special menu for dogs are available. For dogs, there are three main dishes: "Chicken Liver Meat Gratin" (tax included 550 yen), "Salmon and Vegetable Terrine" (tax included 600 yen), and "Beef and Tofu Hamburger" (tax included 650 yen). There are also three snacks and two types of birthday cakes available with a reservation made at least two days in advance. The drinks we ordered were the beer "Pale Ale" (tax included 650 yen) and "Mango Orange" (tax included 500 yen). The Pale Ale features a refreshing hop aroma and a pleasant bitterness. The Mango Orange has a strong mango sweetness and flavor, with a hint of orange acidity, resulting in an overall refreshing taste. The first dish we ordered was the "Assorted Appetizers" (tax included 1,400 yen), which includes pickles, prosciutto, liver pate on baguette, salmon marinated, frittata (Italian-style omelette), and marinated octopus. They are all quite delicious, but personally, I favored the rich and creamy liver pate. We also added a glass of red wine (tax included 650 yen), which has a good balance of soft tannins and fruity flavors. The first pizza we ordered was the "Carlos Favorite" (tax included 1,800 yen) topped with mozzarella, anchovies, garlic, olives, capers, oregano, and tomatoes. The salty anchovy, acidic olives and capers, and the slightly bitter and refreshing oregano create a great balance, complementing the tomatoes perfectly. The second pizza was the "Quattro Formaggi" (tax included 1,550 yen) topped with mozzarella, gorgonzola, pecorino, and grana padano cheeses. You can drizzle honey on it to enjoy a different flavor. I personally enjoyed the unique tang of gorgonzola, and the pizza dough was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, making it delicious. For dessert, we had the "Tiramisu" (tax included 600 yen). While the mascarpone cheese had a mild acidity and a slightly sweet milky flavor, I felt that there was a bit too much sponge cake soaked in coffee and liqueur, leaving a somewhat dry feeling. The second dessert was the "Creme Brulee with Berry Ice Cream" (tax included 600 yen). The rich and flavorful custard with the crispy texture and slightly bitter and fragrant caramel topping was a perfect match. The berry ice cream on top also added a sweet and refreshing berry flavor as a nice touch. Thank you for the meal.

I heard it was delicious so I decided to give it a try. By the way, it was Christmas day★ I love Christmas because the city shines brightly. The road to the restaurant was decorated with beautiful illuminations. Reservation seems to be necessary for this restaurant as it was very crowded with customers. Also, there was a cute dog in the restaurant U・x・U The dog was friendly and didn't beg for food. I ordered Oyster and Arugula Pizza (small size), Meat and Cheese Pizza (small size), and Arrabbiata pasta. The pizzas were delicious...! They were baked in a stone oven, the crust was chewy and the toppings were flavorful. You can choose the size of the pizza, and for two women, two small pizzas (S size) were just right. Lastly, since it was Christmas, we also ordered a cake. Eating the cake instantly brought out the Christmas spirit and lifted our mood.

I visited a dog-friendly restaurant I found information on, called "Pizzeria TAKATA BOKUSYA," located right in front of Waseda University. I made a reservation in advance. Even though it was before 12 o'clock, it was quite crowded! The dishes I ordered today were: *Lunch Menu Dolce Set - Margherita Pizza - Tiramisu The pizza is baked slowly in a kiln, with a chewy crust and a perfect balance of tomato sauce acidity and sweetness. The rich mozzarella cheese is delicious! The tiramisu is light and not too sweet, also very tasty. *Lunch Menu Dolce Set - Today's Special Pasta - Panna Cotta The special pasta today is a creamy pasta with clams and spinach. The plump clams are abundant, and the cream sauce infused with clam essence is incredibly delicious. The panna cotta has a jelly-like texture and is also delicious, not too sweet. *Parma Ham The Parma ham from Italy has a perfect balance of saltiness and umami, it's delicious. I wish I could have it with sparkling wine, but I'm driving, so I have to resist. *Potato Fries The sweet potatoes are sweet, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside, very delicious! *Beef and Tofu Hamburger (for dogs) The food was very delicious, and the staff were friendly, making it a fun dining experience with my dog. I would like to try the evening menu next time. Thank you for the meal! ★Dog Information★ Dog-friendly indoors Water service: available (self-service) Dog food: available Note: Many coin parking lots nearby

A few years ago, the restaurant was usually empty with mostly adult customers and very few students. But since the pandemic, there are long lines forming even before opening. During lunchtime on university days, you might have to wait in line or be prepared to wait a while.

Private rooms with displays and WIFI are surprisingly rare in restaurants. Near Waseda University, this restaurant may be a good deal for groups of 15 or more. It might be a bit crowded for 30 people, but around 20 would be a good fit. The private room costs 5,000 yen per person, so the minimum charge is 75,000 yen. There may be overlaps if there are last-minute cancellations (laughs). The restaurant has WIFI and a display, making it suitable for presentations (though you need to bring your own HDMI cable). They offer all-you-can-drink (beer, wine, etc.) and Italian cuisine, including appetizers, pizza, and pasta in a set course. The portion sizes are generous. If you have a connection to Waseda University and are looking for a venue for a year-end party, this restaurant is worth considering!

After the pandemic, I went to the Inaho Festival for the first time. It had been a few years since I last went before the pandemic. I was reminded of my student days by the passionate cheers of the Waseda and Keio supporters. The Okuma Auditorium is still the same, unchanged. Still feeling the excitement, I decided to have a drink with my senpai, but it was difficult to walk along Waseda Street, so we chose a nearby place. This restaurant is a place where alumni often gather, and we usually order a course in a private room, but this time we ordered separately. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were seated at a table for two. I didn't know where the private rooms were, so it felt spacious. We decided to start with a beer, so we ordered the Sumida River Brewing Pale Ale (650 yen) that was on special. For food, we ordered Calamari Fritti (650 yen), Marinara Spaghetti (950 yen), and a Rocket Salad (900 yen) with plenty of arugula. The beer was quickly finished, and we also ordered a glass of red wine (550 yen) that was a special for the day, and it was delicious. Turns out wine is good too. It was such a pleasure to enjoy after a long time, and I look forward to using this restaurant for social gatherings in the future.

I went to Takada Bokusha to eat pizza, which had crispy and fluffy anchovies on top, and it was delicious. The lunch set came with a salad and a drink, and the salad had tasty dressing while the drink options included coffee, tea, cola, and orange juice. You could also pay extra to change the drink to beer. Besides pizza, they also offer pasta for lunch, which is full of ingredients and great value for money. I want to go back for dinner too!
