The restaurant is located on the second floor of a building on the south side of the Global Ring. You can easily spot it from the outside of the building. I ordered Arrosticini, Spicy Chicken, Garlic Grilled Mussels, Buffalo Mozzarella Pizza, Diavola-style Hamburger, Baked Cheese Milanese-style Doria, along with red wine and the drink bar. I ordered everything at once, finished quickly, but the taste and price were just normal for Saizeriya. I feel like there was a mistake in the combination as the toppings for the Garlic Grilled Mussels and Diavola-style Hamburger were the same or similar. As for the crowd, I visited during summer vacation on a weekday around 5 pm, and there was already a line forming. By the time I left around 6 pm, there were many people waiting all the way to the elevator hall.

I used it for lunchtime this time as well. I was unsure of what to order, but this time I ordered the squid ink spaghetti. The restaurant was full, so I had to wait. Order details: Squid ink spaghetti 500 yen, small shrimp cocktail 280 yen, glass of white wine 100 yen, etc. The squid ink spaghetti had a strong squid flavor and a nice salty taste. The restaurant is small and the staff's customer service was polite despite being busy. It is an Italian restaurant near Ikebukuro Station.

Title: "Dessert at Saizeriya after Jiro-style Ramen" Just before this, I had a small ramen at Butayama Ikebukuro Nishiguchi store. I ordered it with garlic, so the garlic is running wild on the bad breath highway. Despite this state, I am grateful to the acquaintance who agreed to meet me! The acquaintance suggested we talk a little more, so Saizeriya was recommended. We arrived at 2:05 pm on a Thursday, and the restaurant was packed with students, making the two of us (still wanting to think of ourselves as young men...) feel very out of place. However, there was a vacant table, so we braced ourselves and accepted the seating. What will you order? Tiramisu for 300 yen with a set drink bar for 200 yen. The drink bar is normally 300 yen on its own, but if you order something, it can be upgraded to a set drink bar for 200 yen, which is a good deal. You only need to order one item per person, and my acquaintance ordered pasta, while I, having just come from Butayama, decided to have dessert, so I chose the tiramisu. After ordering, I went to get the drinks right away. Rating out of 10 points: Drink bar: 8 points Tiramisu: 7 points Overall rating: 8 points Saizeriya maintains the same quality and pricing nationwide, and they have been working hard to adapt to the cashless payment trend without raising prices. As a local company from my hometown of Chiba, I feel inclined to support them. 25 years ago, it was a tradition for my middle school friend group to dine at Saizeriya, and 25 years later, we can still enjoy a meal at a similar or even cheaper price. This is why I want to support them. After parting ways with my acquaintance, despite being tired from a night shift, I returned home with my eyes wide open and headed straight to the gym's sauna.

Saizeriya, located about a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station. This was my first time at this location. I ordered the Tarako Sauce Shishiri-style pasta with the usual lunch set including salad and drink bar, and added the Spicy Chicken. The Spicy Chicken tasted a bit different but it was delicious. The staff seemed quite insistent on the 80-minute seating limit.

I love Saizeriya ❤ Saizeriya Patrol Ikebukuro Geijutsu Gekijou-mae store ❤ Even with the same menu, the taste varies a bit at each store, which is the interesting part of chain restaurants (^^)(^^) The "Refreshing Carrot Salad" at this Ikebukuro Geijutsu Gekijou-mae store has a strong orange flavor, which adds to its refreshing taste when munching on it (≧▽≦) This is truly a city store - only an 80-minute stay allowed. ❤ Refreshing Carrot Salad ❤ Spaghetti Aglio e Olio ❤ Anchovy ❤ Milano-style Doria ※ Closed on liver-rest days ^^

When I arrived late to join, there were many plates on the table... It seems like they ordered a variety of dishes before the last order. The last order was at 10:30 and the restaurant closed at 11:00. They provided containers for the leftovers.

I always have a food fight at Saizeriya~◼️ Previous information on Tabelog score: 3.07 (April 2021) Genre: Family Restaurant, Italian, Pasta ◼️What I ate - Lamb Loin Steak (900 yen) - Lamb Ragout Spaghetti (600 yen) - Rigatoni Minestrone (300 yen) - Cold Pumpkin Soup (150 yen) - Refreshing Carrot Salad (200 yen) - Italian-style Tripe Stew (350 yen) - Popcorn Shrimp (300 yen) - Anchovy Frico (400 yen) - Cheese-rich Milan-style Doria (400 yen) - Garlic-grilled Mussels (400 yen) - Double Prosciutto (800 yen) - Shrimp Cream Gratin (400 yen) - Spicy Chicken (300 yen) - Assorted Pudding and Cappuccino (400 yen) - Italian Gelato on Coffee Jelly (350 yen) ◼️Overall review Saizeriya is seriously the best. This store is always crowded because it's popular. If you order something hot, they will all be served at the same time when they are ready, so the ones that are ready early are not scalding hot. It's a good kind of hot. Also, if you order food and dessert together, the dessert comes out first haha. - Lamb Loin Steak (900 yen) Delicious! It's softer than I expected!!! The lean part is slightly dry, but the fatty part is great. It was surprisingly juicy! - Lamb Ragout Spaghetti (600 yen) The lamb aroma is quite strong, so it may be a love it or hate it situation. It was delicious, but once I tried it, I was good. Because compared to the promotional photo, there is significantly less filling. Also, the pasta is dry. - Rigatoni Minestrone (300 yen) It has basil sauce and cheese, so it's delicious! Since it has a lot of beans, it feels more like a bean stew than a soup. - Cold Pumpkin Soup (150 yen) Smooth! - Refreshing Carrot Salad (200 yen) Refreshing! With olive oil and vinegar. - Italian-style Tripe Stew (350 yen) Soft and delicious! It has a tomato-like flavor. - Popcorn Shrimp (300 yen) A stable taste. - Anchovy Frico (400 yen) This is delicious. Cheese and anchovy on top of mashed potatoes. Then into the oven!!! - Garlic-grilled Mussels (400 yen) Has it changed from before? It seemed a bit overcooked, losing its juiciness. The onions on top are a bit spicy. The taste of the mussels is good, right? So I like this. - Double Prosciutto (800 yen) It was prosciutto! (I don't really know prosciutto) - Shrimp Cream Gratin (400 yen) It had Americaine sauce! Delicious. Even better when it's super hot. - Cheese-rich Milan-style Doria (400 yen) - Topped with Soft-Boiled Egg (50 yen) Saizeriya is known for Milan-style Doria, but let's upgrade it. It's nice with a soft-boiled egg. So creamy!!! - Spicy Chicken (300 yen) Has the size changed? It seemed a bit bigger before. The taste also seemed a bit spicier, right? I couldn't find anything on the internet, so it seems to have changed. - Assorted Pudding and Cappuccino (400 yen) Is it tiramisu? It's like a coffee-flavored firm ice cream. Also, I really like the taste of the pudding here! Delicious. But this time, the texture wasn't as good. There must have been a change. I couldn't find anything on the internet, so it seems to have changed. - Italian Gelato on Coffee Jelly (350 yen) The ice cream has a strong milky taste. The coffee jelly is not too firm or too soft. This is also delicious. It feels like the taste of an adult. ◼️Store atmosphere The girls serving are cute. Lovely smiles. They seemed busy, so I wish they had more staff. I want more cute girls to be placed all around. Well, the reason the girls were busy was probably because we ordered too much food haha. ---------- It's Golden Week but it's too quiet. I want to go wild~ (laughs)

I went to try the new family restaurant business by the furniture giant Nitori, and comparing it made me realize how great Saizeriya is. Nitori's lamb steak (150g for 990 yen) was all lean and dry, while Saizeriya's lamb rump steak has some fat on it, making it juicy and flavorful. Nitori's chicken gratin (500 yen) had a simple taste, but the shrimp cream gratin at Saizeriya is complex and exquisite. Saizeriya offers about 10 times more menu items at cheaper prices, truly the epitome of a family restaurant. In addition to gratin, dishes that highlight cheese like Milan-style doria and frico are particularly good. Despite the suspension of alcohol service due to the state of emergency, the restaurant remains busy as ever.

I was looking forward to this day. It was a day to have lunch with a couple who love Saizeriya. It was a time when we could still drink alcohol during the day without hesitation. The theme of the day was whether the four of us could spend over 10,000 yen? (laughs) It's a silly game, isn't it? Of course, we didn't drink beer. We started with sparkling wine. The first thing we ordered was anchovy cabbage, which was a seasonal item. I hope they make it a regular menu item. We also ordered popcorn shrimp, which the other couple loves, so we ordered another bottle of sparkling wine. We also had the classic sautéed spinach and spicy chicken. And then, escargot, which was surprisingly only 400 yen. We switched to red wine, a red mine. This restaurant also has a great wine list. I think they had about 8 types of red wine. But when we ordered red wine, it was served ice-cold (laughs). Well, that's okay. And then, the bourgeois husband ordered Milano salami and Frico! At this point, the husband of the other couple did a great job. He asked, "Do you have any red wine that can be served at room temperature?" I'm sure it's not in the manual. They said, "Please wait a moment," and came back with the answer, "We have Chianti." So, we had red wine at room temperature at Saizeriya. I didn't know they had chicken wings with bones. This was a failed plan. I won't order it next time. We finished with Cacio e Pepe with plenty of Pecorino cheese, which we shared. The bill was 9,950 yen! We fell just short of 10,000 yen. It's amazing how we could have such a lavish meal for this price. We said we would do it again once the pandemic settles down and parted ways with our friends. Satisfied!

Excessive classics, Lambrusco Secco and spicy chicken. Huh? Among the menu items that I should be familiar with, there is a photo that I don't recognize... The spicy chicken is... huge!? Oh! I have to order this, right? And in reality, it's even bigger than I thought!!! I was surprised, and the staff also smiled (^^;; However, I feel like the taste of the olive oil dressing has changed... or maybe it's just my imagination.

Even in times like this, it's so helpful that they are still open for business~ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ Just had my first Magnum of the new year＼(^o^)／ haha They had rum and cheese too, so the wine was flowing~! In the end, I ended up having one red and one white Magnum. haha The staff and people around me were all having a blast. haha And yet, the total bill came out to around 7500 yen for the two of us! Such a great deal＼(^o^)／ As expected from the lovely Saizeriya♪ I was surprised to see that their wine list has expanded!

My wife, mother, and I took a break in the early evening. Saizeriya is always crowded whenever you come. It was almost full. We were in the mood for a light drink, so we had escargot and lamb skewers (forgot the official name), a large shrimp salad, beer, and wine. It's been a while since I had escargot! It was delicious. The lamb meat was also very tasty. Saizeriya always has the best cost performance. Whenever I come to Saizeriya, it seems to continue for a while. I will come again. Thank you for the meal.

When asked where she wants to go, a woman who answers "Saizeriya" is quite charming, don't you think? She seems down-to-earth and someone you'd want to marry. Here are some details about the restaurant: Saizeriya is a chain restaurant, so I'll skip that. I tried a lot of food items there, such as Magnum Red 1500ml (1100 yen), Magnum White 1500ml (1100 yen), Prosciutto (400 yen), Rib Steak (1000 yen), Cheese-topped Chicken & Hamburger (700 yen), Lamb and Mushroom Forest-style (700 yen), Onion Soup (300 yen), Cabbage and Anchovy Saute (200 yen), Spicy Chicken (300 yen), Baked Escargot (400 yen), Anchovy Frico (400 yen), Mushroom and Pancetta Boscaiola (500 yen), Popcorn Shrimp (300 yen), Aged Milano Salami (300 yen), Mushroom Soup (150 yen), Arrosticchini (400 yen), Squid Ink Spaghetti (500 yen), Cheese-filled Milano-style Doria (400 yen), Topping Half-boiled Egg (50 yen), Hayashi & Turmeric Rice (500 yen), Cod Roe Cream Pizza with Double Cheese (500 yen), Chorizo (400 yen), Italian Gelato (250 yen), Fruit Sauce Cassis & Blueberry (100 yen), Blood Orange Panna Cotta (400 yen), Assorted Pudding and Hazelnuts (400 yen), Truffle Ice Cream (350 yen). I tried the Rib Steak, which is the most expensive item on the menu, and it was just okay. The Lamb and Mushroom Forest-style dish was good, but it might not be for everyone due to the slight smell of the meat. The Cheese-topped Chicken & Hamburger was delicious, and so was the Onion Soup. The Spicy Chicken was juicy and flavorful, while the Baked Escargot had a nice garlic flavor. I liked the Anchovy Frico as well, as it had a good balance of saltiness. The Mushroom and Pancetta Boscaiola was forgettable, probably due to drinking too much wine. The Popcorn Shrimp was consistently tasty, especially when soaked in Aurora sauce. The Aged Milano Salami was okay, but nothing special. I love the Mushroom Soup, as I generally enjoy soups. The Arrosticchini was trendy but felt a bit overpriced for what it was. The Cod Roe Cream Pizza was disappointing as the crust was dry. The Chorizo was forgettable, and I remember thinking that the potatoes were unnecessary. The Italian Gelato, Fruit Sauce, Blood Orange Panna Cotta, Assorted Pudding, and Truffle Ice Cream were all a blur due to excessive wine consumption. However, the Pudding at Saizeriya is my favorite. The restaurant is spacious with a high capacity, and they have implemented a paper-based ordering system for COVID-19 safety measures. Despite thinking I was down-to-earth, I ended up spending around 15,000 yen, so maybe I'm not as frugal as I thought.

This month, after visiting Italian restaurants with courses costing over 10,000 yen several times and feeling like my taste buds had become too refined, I decided to indulge in gluttony at the quintessential family restaurant Italian chain, Saizeriya. The house wine, which is more drinkable in red than white, costs only 2,200 yen for 3 liters, even if you drink 3 liters. The dishes that I enjoyed more were those with a large amount of cheese, such as Milan-style Doria and Frico, which enhanced the richness and umami flavors. When I inquired about the doneness of the steak, I was informed that the default is medium and it is possible to have it cooked medium-rare, but rare is not an option. (Personally, I felt that the default medium was already medium-rare.) I preferred the new menu item, "Lamb and Mushroom in the style of a woodcutter," over the simple and flavorful Arrosticini. The new menu item, "Onion Soup," gave off the impression of a light-flavored onion gratin soup. For 300 yen, it can be considered a clever product that offers an easy and affordable taste of onion gratin soup.

I had lunch with my wife at Saizeriya after a long time. My wife had pasta Bolognese and I had beef keema curry. We also shared a small shrimp salad and a Milan-style doria. I always end up ordering the Milan-style doria because it's so delicious and only costs 300 yen. Even though we ordered quite a bit, the total bill was under 2000 yen, around 1600 yen. It's amazing that we didn't spend over 1000 yen per person! The keema curry was tasty, but the Bolognese was a bit bland and watery, not very delicious. It didn't taste like Bolognese at all. The restaurant was quite crowded, so maybe they were a bit rushed. Overall, the other dishes were good. Orders are taken by writing the dish numbers on an order sheet, as part of their COVID-19 measures. Thank you for the meal.

Cheap, easy to use, Saizeriya is amazing after all! With a magnum bottle and a drink bar, it's like having the strength of a hundred people☆ And it's reassuring because you can take home leftovers♪ I once saw someone say that even if you order the entire menu at Saizeriya, it's still less than 30,000 yen! I tried it with 10 people and was really surprised that it was less than 3,000 yen per person. Lol

While enjoying the fair-priced menu at Saizeriya, I like to indulge in their drink bar. However, if you visit too often, the regular menu can start to feel lackluster. The prices are reasonable, but after a while, you may not feel as excited to order. Saizeriya offers seasonal menu items, such as the "Clam and Salted Vongole Soup" (499 yen) which was exceptional. The amount of clams in the dish was surprisingly generous and the size and taste were good. The dish felt like it would cost over 500 yen if you were to buy 200g of clams separately. The dish paired well with Italian parsley. It was the best item I've had at Saizeriya so far. I also enjoy their desserts like the "Coffee Jelly" (300 yen) and "Italian Pudding" (250 yen). The seasonal dessert item "Mixed Amarena Cherry Pudding" (400 yen) is also a great deal. I usually pair it with the "Set Drink Bar" (200 yen), which is the highlight for me. Being able to freely drink at a family restaurant's drink bar is convenient. Thank you for the meal. (By Kyonatsushuusora, 2020.7.30)

You can enjoy cherry blossom viewing from the window (*'-') Beautiful. There have been many reviews lately, as if living in a Saizeriya, but this is a different branch (*´ω｀*) The window seats come with the special benefit of being able to drink Lambrusco while watching the cherry blossoms, feeling like a wealthy First Lady. As for the self-restraint... it seems less crowded than usual weekends. Since I'm alone, maybe just a little is okay... or something...

I went to a Jelly near IWGP. The store was almost full of lunch customers even though it was snack time. About 30% of the customers were drinking alcohol. I wanted to eat pasta, so I ordered a 250ml decanter for 200 yen, Bolognese-style meat sauce for 399 yen, and something like a pizza with cod roe for 199 yen. When I asked the part-timer for a decanter, he said, "Which one would you like?" I was confused until I realized there were 250ml and 500ml decanters. I ate the pasta and the thin pizza-like thing and finished. Thank you for the meal. The payment is cash only. I repeat, the payment is cash only.

On 1/13, I went to Ikebukuro to see an orchid exhibition and a Hokkaido exhibition, then relaxed with drinks at a family restaurant. It was near Tobu Department Store. We were led to a peculiarly designed four-person table with glass walls on the second floor of a cozy type of Saizeriya. It seemed like they added extra tables and chairs to make it a four-person table from what was originally a two-person table by the aisle. For drinks, I started with a draft beer and then had a Rosé, which I like even though it's more expensive than red or white.
