This was a shop that caught my attention from the first time I passed by. I checked on the restaurant's operating hours by calling Tennoji Station as it was mentioned on Tabelog that they have irregular days off. The female staff confirmed that they were open and even made a reservation for me. They offered two lunch options, oil sauce, and tomato sauce, and I chose the oil sauce. I also added a soft drink and a mini dessert, all for a total of 1,100 yen! Isn't that cheap? I thought they could increase the prices a bit. The appetizer platter and pasta were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I heard that you can enjoy a lovely pasta lunch with appetizers for 900 yen at BARCHETTA in Terada-cho. The restaurant is about a 10-minute walk from Terada-cho and Kawahoriguchi stations. The exterior of the restaurant is reminiscent of a cafe, with a cozy and warm interior. There are about 10 table seats on the left and a 3-seat counter on the right. This time, I sat at the high stools at the counter. Lunch is available from Monday to Saturday from 11:30 to 14:00 (please check the latest information from the restaurant for current business hours and operation). Pasta Lunch: 900 yen (includes appetizer platter, bread, choice of Pasta A or B) A: Spaghetti with cherry shrimp, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes B: Spaghetti with minced beef ragu and paprika tomato sauce Extra serving of pasta: +200 yen Soft drink: +100 yen Mini dessert: +100 yen (choices include chocolate mousse or milk gelato on this day) Lunch beer or lunch wine: +300 yen I ordered the pasta with tomato sauce from option B. Within 5 minutes of ordering, the appetizer platter arrived. Appetizer Platter: - Two types of prosciutto: Spanish Jamon Serrano and duck prosciutto - Smelt carpione with a refreshing sour taste - Chicken tenderloin and lentil tomato stew The salad was fresh with a simple homemade dressing. Each appetizer was prepared with refined flavors and attention to detail. The anticipation for the pasta grew as I finished the appetizers. The hot pasta arrived promptly: Spaghetti with minced beef ragu and paprika tomato sauce. The sauce had a deep and rich flavor, with a perfect balance of tomato sweetness and cheese richness. The pasta was al dente and paired beautifully with the flavorful sauce and ingredients. The bread served was warm and fragrant focaccia, which was simple yet delicious. Overall, the high-quality dishes at a price of 900 yen were a pleasant surprise. Despite the affordable price and casual atmosphere, the food was sophisticated and well-crafted. I would love to revisit this restaurant to try more dishes, even though it's a bit far from my home. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Located a little west of Terada-cho Station, close to Kawahoriguchi. Nestled in an old-fashioned residential area, it's easy to miss if you just pass by the storefront without paying attention. Inside the restaurant, there are 3 seats at the high counter, 2 seats at the low counter, and 2 tables for 4 people each. The interior is small, with a calming wood design and decor. I visited a little before lunchtime, around 11:30 am. The lunch menu consists of only two pasta options, priced at 900 yen. On this day, option A was shrimp, fava beans, and cherry tomato pasta, while option B was pork belly ragu with young burdock and bamboo shoots in tomato sauce. Both options come with an appetizer and focaccia. Soft drinks and a mini dessert can be added for an extra 100 yen. I opted for option A. The appetizer arrived first, followed by the delicious focaccia. The pasta was served at the perfect timing - it was flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I ordered a hot coffee to finish off the meal. By noon, the restaurant was filled with local ladies. The food and atmosphere at this restaurant are tastefully done. I look forward to visiting for dinner as well. Thank you for the meal.

2021: Another visit♪ Pasta craving disease outbreak! In the Tennoji area, the delicious and reasonable option is "Valchetta" - it looks too plain, almost easy to overlook (*^-^*) ★ Pasta lunch, tax included 900 yen♪ ◎ Appetizer, bread♪ Quiche, raw vegetable salad, white fish frittata, marinated horse mackerel, duck and prosciutto... Unbelievable price, rich appetizers! ◎ Pasta with cherry shrimp and yellow Chinese cabbage♪ Wow- The pasta's cooking and seasoning are perfect!(^^)! The cherry shrimp is deliciously crispy! As always, the pasta lunch here is the best~(*^-^*)

I visited the restaurant for lunch. It seems to be about the same distance from both Tennoji Station and Teradacho Station. The interior is cozy with a counter seat and table seat. The menu includes a mixed appetizer, choice of spaghetti with two baguettes for 900 yen (tax included). You can add a drink for 100 yen (tax included). The spaghetti options for the day were Yellowtail and rapeseed spaghetti, and Wild boar tomato sauce spaghetti. I ordered the Yellowtail and rapeseed spaghetti. The appetizers included green salad, rolled omelette, bonito, prosciutto & persimmon. Everything was delicious, satisfying, and had a good portion size. It's a great lunch for the price, including a drink for only 1,000 yen. They have a wine cellar, so I would like to try dinner next time.

In a somewhat lonely town of Terada, a delicious Italian restaurant "BARCHETTA" has opened. The exterior is plain and the interior is not visible, so at least they should put up a flag! The pasta lunch is 900 yen including tax, with appetizers and bread. The fish carpaccio, eggplant cheese, prosciutto, couscous, and fresh vegetables are authentic and delicious! The cherry shrimp, fava beans, and tomato pasta are perfect for this season, with the noodles cooked just right and a slightly rich flavor. I feel like I'll be going there often!

Located a short walk south from the south exit of JR Osaka Loop Line Teradacho Station, and in the direction of Koiwa Station on the Kintetsu Namba Line, this Italian restaurant opened in April of this year (2021). I visited for lunch. As I was heading to a certain restaurant in Teradacho in search of lunch, I passed by this place where there used to be an izakaya, but now it has been transformed into an Italian restaurant. Curious, I decided to check it out, only to find the other restaurant temporarily closed. I turned back and decided to have lunch here instead. Due to the state of emergency, the operating hours of restaurants have become irregular, causing confusion for customers. I can only imagine the struggles the staff must be facing... Upon entering (with the door half open for ventilation), I found a bright and clean interior with about 10 table seats on the left and a counter facing the kitchen with 3 seats on the right. Acrylic boards were installed on the counter seats. Under the state of emergency, only the "Pasta Lunch of the Day" was available on the menu. This pasta lunch includes an antipasto with bread, and a choice of 2 pasta dishes. The pasta options for the day were "Spaghetti with Salsiccia and Broccoli" or "Spaghetti with Firefly Squid and Edamame Puttanesca Sauce." I opted for the Salsiccia and Broccoli pasta. I wanted to order a glass of wine for lunch, but refrained due to the self-restraint measures. I settled for water instead. Soon, the appetizers arrived, consisting of salmon tartare, asparagus mousse, various cheese frittatas, prosciutto, and water eggplant. Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Although I longed for wine, I had to resist the temptation. Shortly after, the bread and the pasta were served on a round white plate. The spaghetti was generously mixed with salsiccia and broccoli, topped with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano. The salsiccia, a type of sausage, had a light and refined flavor, and the oil was perfectly emulsified. The sauce had a subtle saltiness, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine. The pasta was cooked al dente, providing a satisfying chewiness. I wiped up the remaining sauce with bread until the plate was clean. At 900 yen, this lunch was quite a bargain. I look forward to returning when they resume evening service. This restaurant has exceeded my expectations.
