I went to Pizza Salvatore Cuomo, a popular pizza place in Shinjuku underground street. The Margherita pizza was delicious. The restaurant was spacious and very crowded. It was a bit difficult to call the staff because of the size. The salad was hearty and satisfying.

Salvatore Cuomo, an Italian restaurant located in the underground passageway of Shinjuku called Subnade. I have been to other branches of this chain multiple times, but this was my first visit to this particular location. I made a reservation for the 4,800 yen plan which includes 7 dishes with all-you-can-drink. When the time came, I started the plan by ordering drinks and waiting for the food to arrive. However, 10 minutes, 20 minutes passed and nothing was brought to our table. I tried calling the staff, but they didn't respond and just gestured with their hands without coming over. Even after informing them multiple times that our drinks hadn't arrived, it took about 30 minutes from the start of the plan for the drinks and food to finally be served. The long wait times continued with each order, resulting in instances where we had food but no drinks, which was quite frustrating. The food itself was decently tasty, especially the Margherita & 4 Cheese Pizza and the Aged Beef Steak which were personal favorites. The variety of appetizers offered a range of flavors to enjoy. The portion sizes were satisfying, but the overall dining experience was not very pleasant due to the long waits. They should consider improving their service.

An Italian restaurant where you can enjoy authentic Neapolitan pizza. The pizza and pasta are delicious, and the quality of the desserts is also satisfying. - Order: Weekday lunch 90-minute all-you-can-eat for 2800 yen Includes all-you-can-eat pizza, pasta, Acqua Pazza, soup, salad, dessert, drinks, etc. There are about 4-5 types of pizza and pasta on the table, but new dishes are constantly being made and served. There are over 10 types of desserts, so it's very fulfilling. Sometimes the staff will come to your table and say, "The lemon and cheese honey pizza is ready, would you like to try it?" It's fun. I'm full.

Lunch and dinner buffets are nice, but cafes are also recommended♡ The desserts are all beautifully presented and delicious... I had a matcha-themed selection with matcha chiffon cake and matcha tapioca✨ The chiffon cake was not too sweet, and the red beans served with it were firm, which I personally liked♪

Lunch buffet for ¥2880 is the best! Everything is consistently delicious! I love Quattro Formaggi! I suddenly remembered when I went to Salvatore in Kyoto or somewhere and had Quattro Formaggi for the first time and was impressed. It's been a while. You're still delicious. The potatoes and other items are warmed up before being served, but I wanted a bit more warmth. It's filling and tasty to a certain extent, but considering the price, it's a bit meh~

Visited at 11 am on a regular day. Dining alone. To be precise, visited at 11:07 am. Only 7 minutes after opening and it was already almost full. Maybe there was a line even before they opened?! Lunch buffet options are for 60 minutes or 90 minutes. Chose 90 minutes this time! Once seated, it was easy to go and get food quickly. There was no unnecessary waiting time or long explanations, which was great! All the dishes were delicious, even better than expected. The freshly made pizza was especially good! The pasta and pizza dishes had different flavors each time they were replaced with a new serving. It was not boring and very enjoyable. The truffle omelette - is that a regular menu item? If so, I want to come here every day. It was that good. There were quite a variety of desserts as well - cookies, cakes, jellies, mousses, chiffon cakes... all tasty and not cheap tasting! The whipped cream was truly heavenly... it went well with the fluffy chiffon cake as well as other desserts. There was also a drink bar, so I was very satisfied. It did feel a bit slow when the large dishes ran out and the next ones took a while to come out, but it was not a big deal as long as you enjoyed other dishes in the meantime. The staff were all young and had friendly customer service, even with masks on. Since there were many solo diners, it was easy to get a table! Great value for money. Will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal! ^_^

Today is Christmas Eve. Salvatore decided to have lunch at a lively place, so he went to a restaurant in Shinjuku Subnade. The lunch buffet price, which was in the 1000 yen range at the beginning of the year, has now easily crossed the 2000 yen mark. On weekends, it is almost 2880 yen and soon to be 3000 yen. However, the restaurant's policy is to raise prices to maintain quality rather than reduce quality to maintain prices. Not a bad idea... many people must think so... the restaurant is bustling. Almost full. A Christmas tree on the main buffet table. Pizzas, pastas, and various dishes lined up in a lively manner. Salads, drinks, and desserts are arranged on the bar counter. First, the salad. Various vegetables are lined up, and the dressings are diverse and enjoyable, just as the message says, "Please fill up on healthy food and go home." Alfalfa, kale, trevis, carrot rapé, and boiled sweet potatoes. Pouring strawberry and kiwi dressing on the plate and eating it in a Christmas-like style. Just as Salvatore finished the salad, freshly made pasta was brought out. And miraculously, three different types arrived at the same time, like a Christmas miracle. Asparagus and bacon cream pasta, squid and clam peperoncino, and eggplant tomato sauce. All three have different flavors. Today, the saltiness of the pasta is perfect, and they are freshly made. When you are busy, dishes disappear quickly. But the dishes keep coming out one after another, so the buffet is always in a good state. It's a good feeling. Next is the pizza. Margherita and onion and bacon pizza, one of each. They are almost freshly baked, with soft and cheesy toppings. Drizzle picante oil, and enjoy the flavor of olive oil and the spiciness of red pepper. The deliciousness of the Zeppole is outstanding. The chewy texture, the flavor of seaweed, and the taste of salt make it unique. Salvatore's favorite. Cream-finished fijiri is also freshly made. Then there is pumpkin and potato gratin, so he tries them together. The fijiri is wiggling, mixing with the melting pumpkin and potatoes in his mouth. Not bad. Vongole rosso arrives. In fact, there was a tomato stew with clams and mussels prepared, so if a tomato-based seafood spaghetti comes out, he planned to eat them together. A plate full of pasta and shellfish. Pour plenty of clam umami-infused tomato soup and add picante oil for spiciness. It's incredibly delicious. Finish with a chiffon cake with whipped cream, pudding, strawberry mousse, and coffee. Put a delicious lid on your stomach. Looking back on today's lunch, Salvatore realizes that he had the best quality of food ever at this restaurant where he has visited over ten times. And the main reason for that was the table he sat at. A tragic table turned out to be a wonderful table. This is a story he shared on his Members Salon.

I was wandering around wondering what to do after lunchtime was over, and then I remembered Salvatore, where I went to a buffet at the West Exit store the other day. I was thinking of having pizza, but I changed my mind as I was in the mood for some meat since morning, so I had chicken sauté and pasta. Wow, what's this complex and amazing sauce I've never tasted before! It was a chicken diavola sauce, something devilish. Can devils have such a refined taste? This chicken sauce is too delicious! The vongole that came before it was also very flavorful and delicious, with small clams but they were packed in there. I was worried if I could finish the chicken that came afterwards, but I almost felt like saying, "Excuse me, can I have some bread?" even though I was already full. The flavors were on point and it was a blast! It's good to try something other than pizza once in a while.

I used to frequent the West Gate location, which has now upgraded its offerings to a price of 2800 yen for weekday lunch. The Sub-Nard location, however, remains the same at 1400 yen for 60 minutes on weekdays. I arrived around 12:30 and found that about half of the seats were empty, which was nice because I didn't have to wait in line to get my food. Unfortunately, the pizza and pasta were a bit cold. They taste much better when eaten right after they are made. The variety of dishes like salad, appetizers, pasta, pizza, and dessert was satisfying.

- Order details: Lunch buffet for 90 minutes costs 1880 yen. If you choose 45 minutes, it's 1300 yen, and for 60 minutes, it's 1400 yen. There are always 6 types of pizza, 5 types of pasta and gratin, fried food, mussels, meatballs, salad bar, dessert bar, etc. The main focus is on pizza and pasta, so if you like those, you can enjoy trying out various options! The salad bar has a wide variety of dressings, including kiwi sauce and strawberry sauce. The dessert and drink selection is also quite good, with beautiful teas and several types of desserts displayed. The only downside is that the menu is mainly centered around carbohydrates and there are few meat options. - Misc: Located inside Shinjuku Subnade, this Italian restaurant is a well-known pizza chain.

Located in Shinjuku Subnade, this place is a buffet restaurant where I have visited 3.4 times. When I was walking around Subnade wondering where to have lunch, I stumbled upon this place offering a buffet! The prices are 1300 yen for 45 minutes, 1400 yen for 60 minutes, and 1880 yen for 90 minutes. For just a 100 yen difference between the 45-minute and 60-minute options, I opted for the 60-minute course. The buffet area is divided into two sections: one for salads and desserts at the back, and one for pasta, pizza, and other dishes in the middle. They offer around 3 types of pasta, 4 types of pizza, soup like pot-au-feu, potatoes, and more. The salad section also includes appetizers, and there is a good selection of desserts and beverages like juice and coffee. Before I knew it, the 60 minutes were up! For 1400 yen, the satisfaction level is quite high. I can't wait to go back again soon! Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited this popular restaurant on Sunday at 11:30 am. It seemed almost full around 12 pm, indicating its popularity. My girlfriend wanted to have afternoon tea, so I chose this place with a direct reservation for 5000 yen. The place was Instagram-worthy and the food was delicious. The portion size was just right. It may have been a bit much for my girlfriend, but it was within an acceptable range.

Salvatore's lunch buffet. Every time a state of emergency is declared, it is canceled and then revived with changes in content... Today, I came to see what it's like now. About six months ago, it was 1680 yen, but today it's 1880 yen. It's only 200 yen, but a significant price increase for lunch. I wonder if it's worth the price increase. First, the menu board next to the entrance has changed from pictures of pizza and pasta to colorful vegetables. Salvatore's is known for its pizza. The selling point of the lunch buffet was all-you-can-eat pizza, but now it's focused on vegetables. It was quite a bold image change, which surprised me a bit. Come to think of it, Sizzler, which was originally known for its steaks, also established its popularity by promoting the salad bar. It's important to try changing what you appeal to. Inside the restaurant, I was surprised again when I saw the buffet table. The salad, pizza, pasta, and most of the dishes were always lined up on the table in front of the kitchen. It was impressive and easy to choose, both for customers and for the staff to manage. However, now the cold dishes like salads and the hot dishes like pizza and pasta are placed in separate, distant locations. Thanks to that, both types of dishes can be increased. Moreover, each dish and ingredient is placed in smaller containers, increasing the variety even more. This means more effort to replenish, but on the other hand, there is the advantage that everything is always fresh and freshly made. For example, the pasta, which can only fit about three servings, is put in a small, easy-to-carry pan, so you can enjoy it almost freshly made. The variety of vegetables has really increased. From lettuce to kale, alfalfa. Purple cabbage, endive, three types of carrots, onions. Bean salad, marinated pumpkin. Marinated turnips and berries, thinly sliced fried sweet potatoes. It's fun to arrange, and each vegetable has a variety of flavors that make eating enjoyable. Especially for me, who needs to eat more vegetables, this buffet is very much appreciated. Cream pasta with chicken and spinach, spaghetti with clams and green beans in tomato sauce. Mussels in tomato stew with pot-au-feu on top. Sausages with carrots, daikon radish, lotus root, potatoes in a broth-based Western-style flavor. Yet it somehow tastes like oden, which is interestingly delicious. "Pizza, freshly baked" is heard from the kitchen, and I go to pick it up. I took a slice of Margherita, and the cheese, along with basil, peeled off from the neighboring slice and came along together. I feel sorry, but I eat it with a feeling of being lucky. The saltiness of the crust with a firm taste is delicious and satisfying. I like alfalfa, so I get a refill, and my stomach starts to feel pleasantly full. The drink bar without dispensers is stylish and nice. I make chamomile tea and choose various cakes to line up. Pudding, strawberry mousse. Cheesecake with strawberry cream mixed in whipped cream. I put a small macaron on top and eat it, feeling completely satisfied. Today's buffet, with ingenious ideas that surpass the price increase.

Visited on January 13, 2021, around 12:15 pm: No reservation required, slightly crowded This restaurant has been known for its lunch buffet for a long time, and I have visited it several times in the past with family and friends. My previous impression was that "you can eat a lot at a reasonable price, but it's hard to get hot pizza and pasta, and the variety of other items is a bit limited." This time, after visiting for the first time in years, I was pleasantly surprised by the significant changes. First of all, you can choose the time for the buffet yourself. There were options for 40 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes, and I chose 60 minutes for 1,400 yen (tax included). The staff, many of whom were young, were lively and pleasant. They provided hot towels twice, at the beginning and end, showing great attention to detail! The buffet area has been expanded since my last visit, and the variety of salads, desserts, and drinks has significantly increased! They seem to focus on salads, with impressive dressings and creatively prepared side dishes. There were about four types of pasta and pizza available at all times, with regular replacements. The freshly baked pizza is definitely the best, even though it's still good when cold! It's best to aim for when they are just replaced! Salad: I was delighted with the creatively prepared side dishes such as rosemary and sautéed pumpkin, cucumber with dill and lemon marinade, crispy sweet potato chips, corned beef potato salad, etc. It was nice to see kale among the leafy greens. I chose two types of dressing, beet dressing and carrot and onion dressing, both of which were delicious. Side dishes: Chicken tomato stew, quiche, pot-au-feu, zeppole, fried potatoes, fried onions, etc. Everything was delicious in a regular way. The variety is what makes me happy! Soup: It was clam chowder, and I was pleased with the generous amount of ingredients. Pizza, Pasta, Rice Dishes: There were various pizzas such as Margherita, anchovy and caper pizza, cheese and honey pizza, cream-based pizza, etc. The pasta included cream, tomato, and oil-based dishes. There was also herb chicken rice. Pizza and pasta are just delicious! The freshly made ones are on a different level! Also, I personally really liked the herb chicken rice and ended up having three helpings (^_^;) haha Dessert: There is a wide variety to enjoy! However, the taste level is not that high (haha), but still, it's nice to have such a wide variety at this price. A buffet of this level at this price is fantastic. I was completely satisfied!! I was surprised to see quite a few customers leaving the crusts of the pizza. Do young people these days leave the crusts of the pizza?! The dough is delicious, right? It might have been cold and hard, but it was a bit of a culture shock? Generation gap? Let's eat the crust of the pizza too, shall we? That's what I thought, haha.

Unfortunately, there is only this photo to show. I chose this place to feel the Christmas atmosphere. In reality, it is inside a shopping mall, so you can see a lot of people walking outside. I wish the location was different to make it more stylish. I may have ordered too much, but the sausages had a unique smell, so be careful if you don't like it. The potatoes and lasagna were delicious. The pasta was a bit hard, maybe it was boiled for too short. I felt like the drinks, like beer and wine, were not served in sufficient quantity. However, I enjoyed the Christmas vibe and ambiance, so I want to think positively about that. At this price, it might not be worth it.

I visited Salvatore in the Subnard restaurant district. I barely made it in time for lunch after running errands and going to the hospital, but the staff kindly accommodated me. I remember the first time I went to Salvatore when I first moved to Tokyo, it was in the now-closed Omotesando Hills with my university friends. I never imagined back then that the chain would expand so much, it feels a bit sad that it has become just another decent chain restaurant. Anyway, this time I was starving after morning tests, so I boldly ordered two servings. I usually go for the Margherita pizza and the spaghetti aglio e olio, but today I felt adventurous and tried the pasta with mackerel and fresh tomato ragu. It wasn't a good choice, the mackerel was too fishy and the pasta was disappointing. The Margherita pizza was reliably tasty though. They also bring spicy oil if you ask, which helps to change the flavor. The lunch set includes an appetizer, salad, and soup, but the appetizer seemed like it was thrown together haphazardly just to fill the set, as you can see in the picture. Lesson learned: always go for the pizza at Salvatore. Thank you for the meal.

I forgot to take a photo... - Margherita pizza - Crab tomato sauce pasta - Caesar salad - Cola - Ginger ale Both the pizza and pasta were delicious. The pizza had a thin crust. The crab tomato sauce pasta was a bit salty. The Caesar salad was tasty with lots of cheese.

Visit time Eat log score 3.25. Visited on a holiday at 11:40, it is located in the same place as before, so it was my nth visit. There were 5 groups of customers ahead of me, so I was able to enter without waiting, and the menu was explained to me carefully. The lunch price of 2,380 yen including tax is quite high, but there are also many additional options. In the end, I ordered the pizza rosa and shrimp peperoncino. I quickly headed to the buffet for appetizers, drinks, and dessert. There were a lot of chicken dishes, which was a bit disappointing, but I enjoyed mussels, salad, beets, and mango dressing with detox water. They seem to be aiming for Instagrammable dishes. Surprisingly, all the dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious. The pizza and pasta were also quite tasty, so it was a better lunch than I had imagined. However, the timing of the main course being served before finishing the appetizers, and considering the price, I don't think I will revisit for a while.

I visited the restaurant after more than a month of closure. The lunch format has changed to a common pattern where you choose a main dish and the rest is buffet style. For an additional fee of 1880 yen, you can change the main dish or add a plate of prosciutto or cheese. The taste and cost performance were very good. There were plenty of fruits and the salad buffet was better than other places that sell strange salads. Even though I went to the buffet twice, my ordered pasta still hadn't arrived, so I ended up leaving some food uneaten. There were only male staff, so maybe the new lunch system wasn't working smoothly on the first day? It seemed like they had too many staff. It would have been easier to hear the male staff and my friend's voices if they had lowered the background music. It must be difficult to arrange the prosciutto nicely. I will attach a photo of the lunch buffet, the prosciutto plate, and the pasta. I want to finish my business in Shinjuku underground! I don't like rain or UV rays! I want to eat a lot! I recommend it to others.

I visited around 1pm on Friday and was able to get in without waiting. I ordered the 90-minute course and was able to eat plenty. There were various salads and side dishes that were delicious. The freshly fried potatoes were the best. After a while, pizzas and pasta were served. During lunchtime, the pizzas and pasta disappear quickly. Each time they came out, I waited eagerly in front haha. The cheese and honey pizza was especially delicious, I ended up eating about 5 slices! The pasta was also delicious and slippery. As expected, freshly made food is delicious. There were several types of drinks available, and there were about 3 dessert options. It's a really good deal!
