I ordered the short course. The portion was just right, leaving me feeling satisfied but not overly full. They have a wide selection of wines, and when I specified a price range, they brought me several options to choose from. The atmosphere created by the manager and staff is pleasant, allowing for a leisurely dining experience. The interior is also lovely, with a limited number of seats available.

I found out that I had been to a restaurant with the same name in the past around the Yakuin area, but it had closed down and the location was different. I remembered the name "Red Pig (Crimson Pig)" because I had experience living in Italy before, so I decided to visit this time to confirm. When I asked the owner, it turned out that they had indeed been in the Yakuin area before and had opened here independently last year. I'm glad I came! First, I wanted to try various flavors, so I ordered a platter of 5 appetizers. They were all colorful and delicious! For the main course, I had two meat dishes. One was refreshing with balsamic vinegar, and the other was lamb stew (if I remember correctly). The flavors were refined and not too heavy. If I had to say one thing, there were a lot of meat dishes for the main course, so I wished there were more seafood options. Finally, my favorite ravioli pasta. The portion for one person was a bit small (about 4 dumpling-sized pieces), so if sharing, it might be better for men to order one each. Of course, for dessert, I had tiramisu! Just like in Italy, it reminded me of Italy with ladyfingers and mascarpone (in Japan, many places use whipped cream, coffee, and sponge cake).

This is a small Italian restaurant run by a husband and wife team of owner chef and sommelier who trained in various parts of Italy, located on the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, but the ingredients, cooking, and presentation have a sense of sophistication. They also offer lunch service (reservation required), making it a perfect choice for those looking for a high-quality Italian lunch experience. It is located in a quiet area in Hakata's Shirogane district. It is about an 8-10 minute walk from the Nishitetsu Hirao/Yakuin stations. Next to it is a greengrocer called "Yaosho." The exterior may look like a typical budget trattoria or osteria, but the food and wine are of high quality, which pleasantly surprised me. The lunch course costs 3,850 yen (tax included) and includes homemade bread, assorted appetizers, pasta, main dish, dessert, and coffee. The interior has a total of 11 seats, mainly at the counter, with one table. The drink menu includes a selection of aperitifs, wine/beer, non-alcoholic beverages, and digestifs. I had Sardinian rosé wine (by the glass), while my colleague had Italian non-alcoholic beer. The appetizer platter included prosciutto salad, Kama venison terrine, seafood and couscous tartare, thin flatbread from Sardinia, and swordfish fritters. The flavors and cooking techniques were excellent! The homemade focaccia was delicious with a savory taste of onions. The spaghetti with baby octopus and new potatoes topped with karasumi breadcrumbs was a delight. The roasted guinea fowl had a crispy skin and juicy meat, complemented by balsamic sauce and kumquat paste. For dessert, we had freshly made tiramisu with chocolate banana cake and milk gelato. Both were rich and flavorful. I ended the meal with an espresso, but they also offer coffee and tea. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience at Osteria e Vino PORCO ROSSO in Fukuoka.

Engrossed with friends. It is glamorous, clean, cute, and delicious. The onion focaccia and homemade grissini are amazing! You can also drink here. The appetizer platter of five varieties is dazzling! - Tuna carpaccio with rapeseed flower topping - The salt is delicious! - Smoked mackerel - Rapeseed flower and squid fritter - The squid was the sweetest I've ever had! - Pate - Prosciutto and burrata with cheese inside - Oh, so delicious! We drank wine by the bottle, splurged on veal cutlet with truffle pasta, added a glass of wine, and paired it with a dessert platter accompanied by two glasses of dessert wine. It wasn't cheap (after all that drinking and truffle pasta), but it was so enticing that we couldn't help ourselves. The chef and sommelier's wife are a lovely couple. The happy atmosphere may be the secret to the deliciousness! I will definitely go again!!

The atmosphere is very pleasant! It gives off a lively and cute impression, but the dishes are definitely top-notch! The plates are also very lovely. The appetizer assortment includes three types: fried whitebait, tripe stewed in tomatoes, and an unexpected presentation in a warmed glass dish! The dish is generously topped with lemon, Sichuan pepper, and plenty of cheese. Next, since we're going to eat meat, should we go with less is more? It's so nice that you can now order the red beef tagliata a la carte, which is very satisfying! This is definitely a place to invite friends to! For dessert, there's kumquat cheesecake and dessert wine! The toast with sparkling wine and a bottle of Vermentino costs 12,000 yen per person. The price is somewhat high, but the atmosphere is mature and cozy, and the deliciousness is undeniable.

The chef from a shop in Yakuin has moved and opened his own restaurant. I couldn't forget the delicious food I had before, so I decided to visit again. I had the lunch course, which was delicious as always. The appetizers were tasty, but the pasta was amazing! I would like to give them the title of No. 1 pasta in Fukuoka. Honestly, the pasta was so delicious but the portion was not enough! The tiramisu was just okay.

When I visited during the opening hours, I was told that they only serve lunch. I revisited for the lunch course priced at 2,200 yen, which I found quite reasonable. I started with four delicious appetizers, which set a good tone for the meal. For the pasta course, I chose Puttanesca, which had a nice kick from the capers and anchovies. For an additional 1,100 yen, you can add a main dish to the course. On this day, the main dish was Kachatora made with roasted pork shoulder loin in kinako sauce. The whole course had bold flavors that made me crave for wine, as non-alcoholic options felt a bit heavy. I felt that the evening atmosphere allowed me to experience the essence of Sardinia more, so I look forward to returning with wine next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I went to have Italian food. Unfortunately, I couldn't drink much alcohol because I was feeling unwell. I had delicious dishes such as bread, a platter of five appetizers, grilled lamb chops, grilled Miyazaki pork shoulder loin, Genovese spaghetti with Hokkaido sea urchin, chestnut tiramisu from Minami Aso, espresso, mineral water, white wine x2 glasses, and red wine x1 glass.

I made a reservation online the day before and visited the restaurant. I had been wanting to go to this place for a while. I planned to visit the restaurant by public transportation to have some drinks, but the temperature difference and humidity made me feel unwell. As a result, I couldn't enjoy wine and a meal, so I ended up having the lunch course with a soft drink, which was very delicious. I definitely want to try wine next time. I will make sure to take care of my health next time. Starting next month, they will also have à la carte options for dinner, so I look forward to going again.

Sunday evening. After finishing work, I had a toast with my colleagues! It was my first time at this Italian restaurant in Shirogane since moving from Kego. It has always been delicious. On Sundays, you can enjoy day drinking from 4 p.m. at "Hirukorosso" instead of "Porukorosso". Exciting, stylish operating hours. The cozy interior has a small counter and a single table, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The sommelier (with a shining batch) wife and the husband run the place together, a wonderful combination. I started with a glass of pink Lambrusco, which was delicious. When I ordered my second glass, the same colleague who still had half of their drink left was also served, a bold and generous service. A strong impression of the capable lady owner. Well, it adds to the charm! The day drinking menu is reasonably priced and easy to order from. First, the octopus potato salad was delicious - 660 yen. Grilled sazae with herbs - the plate was cute too! - 660 yen. I didn't take a photo, but the white asparagus frit with prosciutto was tasty - 1540 yen. Asparagus soba jou omelette with truffle topping - 1650 yen. Arrabbiata - 990 yen. All the dishes had a simple and delicious taste. The restaurant has recently reopened, but there were already regular customers at the counter. They only offer set courses in the evening, priced at 7500 yen and 12,100 yen. It may seem slightly expensive compared to casual restaurants in Fukuoka. However, I do think the chef's skills and the value of the dining experience are worth it. It might be a bit hesitant to visit frequently. But first, try the Sunday daytime drinking for a happy and lovely time at dusk. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The deliciousness is stable. Gourmet friends who came to play from Tokyo are also very satisfied.
