We used OCAT with our family for some errands and stopped by on our way back. It's a great location with a high-speed bus terminal in the building, making it convenient to pass the time before catching the bus. Even with our family, the prices were very reasonable and the restaurant was almost full.

On the night of the typhoon, I went to Saizeriya. It is located in Namba OCAT. The Saizeriya in Osaka Station building was closed, so it was lucky that this one was open. First, I went for the drink bar and got grape juice and orange juice. Then I ordered the small shrimp salad, recommended by the gourmet who has eaten at Saizeriya for a year. It was indeed the most delicious salad at Saizeriya. The small shrimp salad was followed by the squid ink spaghetti, which looked very appetizing. I also ordered chorizo. The chorizo was brought to the table, and I got a refill of soft drinks - grape soda and white grape soda. I enjoyed the chorizo, then the squid ink spaghetti, and back to the chorizo. As a dessert substitute, I got another refill of soft drinks - oolong tea and grape soda. The cost-performance ratio was excellent, but I was a bit worried about how they can manage to stay in business at such low prices. Well, considering that the founder and CEO are much more capable than I am, I shouldn't be too concerned. I think it's impressive that they haven't raised prices in this inflationary era.

I was thinking about it, but...(;°;ω;°;)la-la-la-la-la-la~ I may drink wine (´^ω^｀) lol٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭Instagram《 @kanae.0402 》Thank you in advance m(*_ _)m٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭✿*❀٭

Visited with my daughter! Had the corn soup for breakfast and lunch at 150 yen each, two shrimp gratins for 400 yen, a Diablo-style hamburger for 500 yen, and two garlic toasts for 200 yen. I saw the garlic toast on YouTube and wanted to eat it so badly, it was delicious haha. I will definitely go back again.

It had been so long since I last went to Saizeriya. I had some wilted spinach and it was delicious!! The menu has changed since the last time I went, and I heard that the wine is tasty and cost-effective...✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼ I enjoy gourmet food with the concept of "eating to lose weight"٩(`･ω･´)و I would be happy if you could also check out my Instagram♪ ID《@kanae.0402》Thank you m(*_ _)m✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼

The restaurant staff was terrible, they misread the order and failed to confirm the dish properly.

The other day, we tried to go to the Saizeriya in Tennoji, but it was full so we decided to come here for revenge (?). On a Saturday evening, there were 2 groups waiting, but we were seated in about 10 minutes. Both my partner and I love lamb meat, so trying the limited-time lamb dish was a must. We also ordered a salad and a pasta. I was a bit indecisive, but I wanted to have a drink, so I chose red wine. - Garden Salad: I changed the dressing. I preferred this one over the previous one as the taste of carrots bothered me a bit. - Penne Arrabbiata: I love short pasta. It was quite spicy as mentioned on the menu. I added some powdered cheese to reduce the spiciness. Still, it was a bit spicy (laughs). - Lamb Rump Steak: It may be hard to tell from the top-down photo, but it had a good thickness just like the one I had before. It was a bit firm for my liking, but still delicious. I could even eat the thicker fatty parts for some reason. I shared it, but I was very satisfied. I appreciate the affordable pricing even for dinner and the ability to eat slowly.

It's been a while since I went to Saizeriya. I ordered two squash drinks with free refills. First, I ordered the large shrimp salad for 500 yen. It was a delicious way to make up for my lack of vegetables. The second squash drink. The main reason for this visit was to try the revived lamb steak. I ordered the lamb rump steak. It was a bit small in size but thick enough. It looked delicious with a good visual appeal. It had enough fat, and when I ate it, it was very juicy and I could fully enjoy the taste of lamb. When I tried it with cayenne pepper, it enhanced the juiciness, making it even more delicious. For the finale, I had the large portion of squid ink pasta for 700 yen. I tried eating it as it was at first, but it felt a bit lacking so I added some spiciness. It was delicious! The squid ink, garlic, and spiciness all mixed together, creating an explosion of flavors. However, I ate too eagerly and ended up staining my clothes. I regretted not wearing the paper apron I had brought. I enjoyed the aftertaste with two types of tea. It was a fulfilling three-course Italian meal. I got enough vegetables, enjoyed the lamb, and savored the squid ink. Coming too often might lead to getting tired of it, but spacing out visits seems to enhance the deliciousness even more.

Located on the basement floor of OCAT, there is a Saizeriya. I went there after a long time. The lunch free drink is 100 yen. I chose the healthy vegetable juice and grape soda. The salad that comes as a default. Free refills of soup. The spicy chicken with bones costs 500 yen and looks quite delicious. It is actually juicy and tasty. It might be better than KFC. With all this for 500 yen, it is super reasonable. Another drink bar option: oolong tea and orange soda. The eggplant meat sauce spaghetti in a large portion costs 600 yen and looks delicious. The meat sauce clings to the al dente pasta and is quite tasty. I added chili peppers and hot sauce for extra flavor. Despite staggered attacks, it was quite crowded. Many customers were leisurely looking at their phones. After all, during lunchtime, the free drink is only 100 yen. Considering it as lunch and a cafe, it surpasses McDonald's in terms of economic efficiency.

There is an absolute champion in the family restaurant world, Saizeriya. Some may argue that Royal Host is also a contender, but personally, I believe it is Saizeriya. Many people confuse it with Saizeria, but it is Saizeriya. Saizeriya is full of great value prices, but there is no denying that their wine is a great deal, right? A 500cc decanter of wine for 400 yen, or a 1500cc magnum for 1100 yen, these prices are like those in Eastern Europe. Their desserts are directly imported from Italy and have hidden techniques to enhance the flavor even more. Today, I had the almost classic Peperoncino with added vegetable paste.

I went to Saizeriya for lunch before the Obon holidays, which was the third installment in the series. The cutlery was simple. When ordering from the lunch menu, soup was included and the drink bar was available for an additional 100 yen. I ordered the Spaghetti Arrabbiata in a large portion for 600 yen. The consomme soup was okay, but nothing special. The lunch also came with potato salad. The Spaghetti Arrabbiata in a large portion was not spicy enough, it seemed more like a dish for kids. However, near the entrance, there were various condiments available for free use. I added hot sauce and chili flakes to the Arrabbiata, which transformed it into a deliciously spicy dish. When eaten with bacon, it became even more flavorful. As a dessert, I had iced coffee and grape sparkling water. I have improved in utilizing the shared condiments, but I regret being too frugal as the soup and salad were not that great. Being elderly, I realize that my remaining life is limited. Next time, I plan to pay the extra 100 yen for the drink bar and order a large shrimp salad and my favorite spaghetti in a large portion from noon onwards. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Last time, I went to Saizeriya for the first time and thought it was quite good. I decided to visit again quickly. I was worried that I might not be able to evaluate it correctly because the explanation by Michelin chef Mr. Murayama was so wonderful, so this time I decided to verify that. The cutlery is simple. The drink bar costs 200 yen. I had oolong tea and a healthy juice, which were consistently delicious. First, I tried the small shrimp salad that the Saizeriya 100-time-old man praised so much. The large size costs 500 yen. Wow! It had quite a lot of small shrimp and looked delicious. And in reality, it was quite tasty, including the dressing. Next, I ordered the spicy chicken with bone-in for 600 yen. It was good, but not as delicious as Ichiran's. Well, it's cheaper, so that's understandable. For the finale, I ordered the cold spaghetti with Parma ham and arugula for 600 yen. The chilled pasta with the sauce was quite good. The Parma ham was quite authentic, and when eaten with the pasta, its deliciousness exploded. The only disappointment was the chicken. Overall, even without Mr. Murayama's explanation, it was quite delicious. They have almost achieved healthy Italian cuisine. I plan to go to Jolly Pasta tomorrow, so I will compare it with Saizeriya and try to give a more objective evaluation. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

On the basement floor of OCAT is a Saizeriya. I became interested in Saizeriya because there was a person who went to Saizeriya for 100 consecutive days. Some emphasize the cheapness of Saizeriya as a form of welfare, while others mention that they didn't get tired of it for 100 days and that no salad surpasses their shrimp salad. Another reason that caught my interest was the Michelin chef who passionately praises Saizeriya as the "world's best Italian" in a book. So, I decided to visit the Saizeriya on the basement floor of OCAT. I went for lunch first. The cutlery was very simple, and the drink bar cost 200 yen. I tried the recommended Parma-style spaghetti for 600 yen. The tomato sauce was really delicious. The freshly made Focaccia bread was of high quality and had a fluffy texture. I also visited for dinner. I tried the Arostini for 400 yen and the Escargot for 400 yen, both recommended by the chef. The Escargot was particularly impressive, with a high quality and aroma that is hard to find in other places. Overall, Saizeriya is known for its affordability, excellent service, quality ingredients, and flavor. The annual revenue of Saizeriya is 126.8 billion yen, making it one of the largest Italian chain restaurants in the world. I enjoyed my experience at Saizeriya and look forward to trying more of their menu in the future.

I have recently become addicted to Saizeriya. The cutlery is simple. There's a drink bar for 200 yen, offering healthy juice and oolong tea. I tried the recommended shrimp salad for 500 yen, which had plenty of shrimp, tomatoes, and lettuce. It was delicious and fiber-rich. Next, I ordered the rib steak for 1000 yen, which was surprisingly good and came with salt, pepper, and a tasty gravy sauce. I was satisfied. Lastly, I had the cold spaghetti with Trapanese sauce for 500 yen, along with oolong tea and grape sparkling water from the drink bar. The Trapanese sauce is a traditional dish from the city of Trapani in Sicily, made with tomatoes, basil, almonds, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. It was delicious! The pasta was firm and cold, and the garlic basil paste sauce was flavorful. The acidity of the tomatoes enhanced the taste even more. This three-course Italian meal, including steak, for just 2000 yen is quite reasonable. Saizeriya's unique offering of authentic Italian cuisine at affordable prices is impressive. Despite this, it doesn't seem to compete much with other pasta restaurants in the area. Even with prices suitable for high school students' allowances, Saizeriya manages to stand out with its high-quality dishes. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The plating may sometimes seem sloppy, but the overwhelmingly good cost performance covers everything. The age group here is surprisingly high, so you can enjoy your meal in a calm atmosphere. The staff in the dining area have such polite manners and service that you wouldn't think this is a chain restaurant. I thought that the educator at this restaurant must be doing a great job.

People's happiness is subjective. The same food can make one person happy and another person unhappy, depending on who they are with. If we were to measure happiness like a test score, those who feel happy just by being able to eat anything would have a high score! Are you happy right now? Unfortunately, there are cases of suicide in Japan because parents only care about their children's academic achievements and not their happiness. Anyway, I'm starting to get tipsy from drinking alone at Saizeriya, so I'll end it here (laughs) #Saizeriya #JR Namba Station #Italian #Cheap family restaurant #Even though it's cheap, they not only clean the tables but also disinfect the menu after customers leave.

Ever since I discovered Saizeriya, I associate Italian food with Saizeriya (laughs). I mean, when you want to drink wine cheaply, isn't Saizeriya the go-to place? After experiencing their prices, everything else feels like a rip-off (^◇^;) Saizeriya is just ridiculously cheap compared to others (⌒▽⌒)

When deciding between rice or bread, as a lover of white rice, I always struggle. If you love white rice, shouldn't you choose rice? But bread is delicious too, and I love white rice. Nothing is more disappointing than when you get bad white rice at a restaurant. It's even more disappointing when the food itself is delicious, but you can't enjoy it because of the rice. In those moments, you regret not choosing bread from the start. On this particular day, I decided to go for the hamburger lunch at Saizeriya, where you can eat for a reasonable price. I didn't want to be disappointed, so I chose bread instead of rice. The bread came out later, but it looked and smelled amazing. I had imagined the bread being small and cut, so I was really impressed to see it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It seems like Saizeriya's lunch set is a winner with bread (although the rice might be good too).

I had spaghetti with squid ink sauce! Wow~ when it came to the table, it had a unique smell! It was hot and delicious ^_^ But I wish they could do something about the squid ink splattering everywhere, haha. After eating, it's funny how your mouth turns completely black!
