I was drawn to the Chef's whim lunch menu at the blackboard and decided to try my luck (´^ω^｀)ﾌﾞﾌｫwww. Surprisingly, today's dish that caught my attention was the iron pot doria (´▽`*)ｱﾊﾊ. The doria was filled with plenty of cheese and bubbly hot. It was a stylish dish with colorful vegetables on top (ृ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ ). When I dug in with my spoon, a half-cooked egg said hello (˶ᐢᗜᐢ˶). I always thought doria was like gratin, and even though it was only ¥790, the ingredients were luxurious (*´﹃｀*). I asked for less rice, so when the Chef said it was ¥700, I was surprised (°Д°). "Eh!? Are you sure!?" I asked. "Normally, the portion is much bigger! Is it enough for you?" the Chef replied. Thank you very much (´TωT｀)♡ It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I'm looking forward to the next whim lunch. Thank you for your follow, likes, and comments. Instagram: @kanae.0402. Gourmet account: @kanae.0402sub.

I visited for lunch. It's always crowded during lunchtime, so I was curious. The owner said that it's busy from 12:00 to 13:00 on weekdays, but it's relatively quiet after 13:00. Even if it looks crowded from the outside, there may be empty seats, so sometimes they have to turn people away, but it's worth checking it out. Today is a holiday, so maybe I can get in? I headed to the restaurant and it was just opening. It's a small restaurant with about 10 counter seats. It's very easy for even one person to get in. I ordered the Chef's Special Pasta Lunch "Fettuccine with Bacon and Mushroom Basil Cream Sauce" (as of July 2023, 790 yen) and Cheesecake (as of July 2023, 200 yen). I was also very interested in the Chef's Special Lunch "Iron Pot Omelette Rice (with salad)" (as of July 2023, 790 yen), but it was too hot outside, so I decided to pass on it this time. However, when I saw other customers ordering it, it looked incredibly delicious, so I will definitely order it next time. The "Fettuccine with Bacon and Mushroom Basil Cream Sauce" was delicious with the creamy sauce coating the fettuccine, and the bacon was wonderfully fragrant. The cheesecake was also delicious. The pasta, cheesecake, and salad were all very stylish, and the bread was also delicious. Can you believe I could enjoy such a luxurious lunch at this price!? I will definitely go back next time! One thing I regretted not saying was... After me, two women entered and sat down one seat away from me. If I had asked them to move closer, another couple could have enjoyed the delicious food. The owner told me, "Take your time eating (^^)," so I enjoyed the cheesecake slowly as well. Thank you, owner. I will definitely visit again (^^)♪

When I searched for a lunch spot in Namba, this place came up with high ratings in a competitive area, so I decided to visit. It was right in the middle of lunchtime on a weekday, but I was able to get a seat easily. The restaurant is small and run by the owner, but it quickly filled up. Since I came to an Italian restaurant, I chose the generous portion of the chef's choice of fresh pasta for lunch. The pasta smelled amazing and the white sauce was delicious! The fresh pasta had a great texture and flavor, so getting the large portion was definitely the right choice. The apple accent in the salad was refreshing, especially in the summer heat. After the meal, I had their iced coffee, which they only serve on slow days. I highly recommend this place for a great value lunch. Thank you for the delicious meal!

In April of the 5th year of Reiwa, the restaurant's operating hours are from 6:00 PM onwards. You can enjoy dishes like Porcini mushroom and assorted mushroom cream sauce for 1680 yen (tax included), delicious bacon for 1480 yen, and an appetizer platter with garlic toast, etc. It's a great place to enjoy delicious Italian cuisine in a cozy setting.

This place in the back street may not be cheap, but it is beloved by regular customers. It has a slightly mature atmosphere and always offers reliably delicious food. I remember having the vongole bianco here in the past and it was delicious, so I would always order it whenever I visited. The pizza has a crispy crust and is delicious. They also have garlic shrimp. We ordered mainly appetizers as it was our second stop for the night with four people. The restaurant has counter seats and a table (which can fit up to 4 people).

I was torn between the daily pasta lunch for 790 yen and the iron plate omurice, but I chose the pasta! The restaurant was small with a few seats at the counter and one triangular table. By 12 o'clock, it was full. I didn't have high expectations, but the pasta was incredibly delicious!! I want to come back for this taste!! And they even served coffee after the meal as a service ^ ^ Good cost performance, delicious taste, it was a great lunch!

I visited a girls' night out after a long time. I had been wanting to go back to this restaurant because I couldn't forget the delicious food. The restaurant has counter seats and tables for four, making it suitable for both girls' night out and dates. The food was really delicious as always! My favorite was the pan-fried sea bream. The sauce was so tasty that ordering bread is a must haha. I know it's bad manners, but I dipped the bread in the sauce and ate it... I ordered sparkling wine followed by red wine from the wine menu. My friend who prefers beer ordered beer. The owner is also a very nice and charming person. Thank you for the meal! I will definitely visit again.

13:20 Entered the restaurant, which had a counter with 7-8 seats and one table. Managed to get seated right away due to good timing with people leaving. As it was my first visit, I decided to go with the chef's recommended lunch set and the teppanyaki omurice. The restaurant had a cozy, hidden vibe that had caught my attention for a while. The master was handling everything by himself efficiently. It seemed like it would take a while for the food to be ready, so I looked around. I had high expectations because the regular customers around me, who seemed like shop staff, were all there. Despite having many other options, they chose to spend their precious break time at this particular place. The salad appetizer arrived first. The dressing was delicious! It had a gentle acidity that wasn't overpowering. Then came the omurice! The demi-glace sauce was bubbling around the edges of the frying pan. I noticed there were no spoons on the table, and as soon as I mentioned it, the master apologized and brought them over. His tone was so kind, it revealed his personality. I tried the demi-glace sauce first... it was incredibly tasty. The acidity was just right. The chicken rice in the omurice paired perfectly with the demi-glace sauce. As I continued eating, I noticed the rice had a nice crispy texture from being cooked on the teppan. Even the post-meal iced coffee, served from a bottle, was better than the pricier packs you find at supermarkets. The restaurant, which has been in business for a long time in the backstreets of Namba, clearly puts effort into their dishes. I'll definitely be back for their pasta next time. From now on, this will be my go-to spot for lunch in Namba. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Hidden gem brasserie, Rakurakuza, stands quietly in a corner. The chef, who runs the place alone, seems busy but still manages to engage in conversation with customers. The pasta he makes is delicious too!! #BrasserieRakurakuza #Rakurakuza #Chef'sDailyLunchSpecial #PastaLunch #FreshPasta #BaconandMushroomCreamPasta #ItalianLunch #HiddenGemGourmet #NambaLunch #790YenLunch

On a cold day in Namba, I wanted to eat something warm... I wandered around and randomly walked into a restaurant for lunch. I had the Iron Pot Doria, which was rice with ketchup and lots of cheese on top, all piping hot and ideal. Next time, I want to try the Napolitan as well. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I think the lunch deal is amazing in terms of cost performance. This time, I added a tonkatsu and also included a dessert. I forgot to take a picture, but it also comes with a small salad. And at the end, they give you a complimentary iced coffee. I can't believe how good of a deal this is. The taste is also very delicious and satisfying. Since there are not many seats, you may need to go early for lunch to secure a spot.

Dinner with a rumbling stomach at a new Italian restaurant called "Raku Raku-za" in the back alley. The appetizer was a salad with prosciutto in the starter, and smoked mackerel...the aroma and flavor were amazing! I want to try making it myself~ I had white wine in a glass and enjoyed garlic butter sautéed turban shell with baguette~ The pasta was Arrabiata...a bit overcooked but the taste was great! I had red wine by the bottle and for the main course, juicy chicken thigh. A little spoiler, but I was influenced by a movie and loved the risotto with porcini mushrooms♪ It was delicious! The service and atmosphere were also great, so I've decided to visit again♪ Thank you for the meal~ヾ( ´ー｀)ﾉ

It was delicious and satisfying!! Appetizer 1: Smoked mackerel with a rich thickness and a wonderful smoky aroma, accompanied by a delicious salad dressing. Appetizer 2: Oven-baked fried vegetables with a sweet and sour sauce, incredibly tasty. Appetizer 3: Assorted fresh cheeses, each with its own unique flavor. Main dish 1: Sautéed foie gras with balsamic sauce, crispy and creamy. Main dish 2: Veal with herb breadcrumbs and a rich sauce, very tasty. The pizza was Quattro Formaggi, with a thin crust and a delicious blue cheese flavor. The pasta was a creamy sea urchin pasta with salmon roe, also very tasty. I had two pink grapefruit drinks and two ginger ales, and the total bill was just under 12,000 yen. The food was so delicious that I overate for the first time in a while. For most people, 2 appetizers, 1 main dish, and either pizza or pasta would be enough to feel satisfied, and with a couple of drinks, you could expect to pay around 8,000 yen for a satisfying meal for two people!!

I had the Chef's Special Lunch (Iron Plate Bibimbap) for 800 yen. Although it's a Western-style restaurant, the Bibimbap with chicken, vegetables, and a fried egg was delicious and full of ingredients. It stayed hot until the last bite. I also received a salad and iced coffee as a bonus, which was a pleasant surprise! I was very satisfied with the volume of food for the price. I would definitely want to visit this restaurant again if I'm in the area.

I went to Raku Raku-za for dinner, a place I used to frequent during my time in Curry Village. I ordered the carpaccio, sea urchin cream pasta, and lamb chop steak. The sauces were delicious, and I found myself wanting to dip bread into them! I'll definitely go back again!

This is a hidden gem in Ura-Namba where you can enjoy delicious casual Italian cuisine. Despite its tough exterior, the friendly owner serves up dishes that are quite tasty. Each dish is well-seasoned and perfect for Japanese palates, but also popular among foreigners. The menu includes dishes like today's fish carpaccio, smoked mackerel with "Yamamoto's famous bacon," sirloin steak, porcini mushroom and various mushroom cream pasta, and German potatoes. The fish carpaccio features a variety of seafood with a touch of salmon roe and olive oil. The smoked mackerel and bacon combo is a delightful mix of flavors, perfect for pairing with wine. The sirloin steak is satisfying and well worth the price. The creamy porcini mushroom pasta is rich and flavorful, with plenty of mushrooms. And the German potatoes are a hearty and well-seasoned side dish that pairs perfectly with beer. Overall, this casual and delicious Italian restaurant in Ura-Namba is a favorite spot that I would love to visit again. Thank you! #Osaka #Japan #ItalianinJapan #UraNamba #SavannahinLion♡

The most important thing after life is different for each person, I think. It is important to think about what others value and to be tolerant. Playwright Oriza Hirata In the midst of a state of emergency, there is a growing pressure to criticize and condemn shops that are open for business. I want you to think about why businesses have to operate. Today, I visited "Raku Rakuza" restaurant. I actually wanted to check out the one in Nishi-Shinsaibashi, but the wind was too cold, so I gave up. I redirected myself to "Raku Rakuza" located behind the former Kabuki-za theater. This was also a restaurant I had not visited before. I ordered the chef's special lunch, which was the "Iron Skillet Omurice" for 790 yen. The lunch menu is divided into pasta dishes and curry dishes, but I chose the daily special "Iron Skillet Omurice". It came with a small salad. The omurice was served in a small iron skillet, still piping hot. It was topped with demi-glace sauce. Unlike regular omurice, the chicken rice had a crispy texture due to the iron skillet, which was enjoyable. The sauce made it easy to scoop out from the skillet. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The other customers besides myself were all regulars, creating a warm atmosphere. The bonds that have been cultivated during normal times are truly important. Let's strive on the path we have chosen, without regrets in the end.

This is a popular Italian restaurant located in a corner of the city. Despite being called a dining hall, you can enjoy delicious Italian cuisine here. The cozy atmosphere inside the small restaurant gives off a charming vibe similar to a neighborhood in Italy. On this day, I was in the mood for some Italian food. Here is what I ordered: - Seasonal fish carpaccio - Smoked mackerel and bacon - Sirloin steak - Gorgonzola pizza - Dessert - Various drinks The seasonal fish carpaccio was a great start with a Japanese twist that appealed to everyone. The smoked mackerel and bacon dish featured a special bacon made from a local brand of pig, which was a must-try according to regular customers. The sirloin steak was flavorful with a slightly sweet onion dressing that was a hit with Japanese and foreign guests alike. The Gorgonzola pizza was crispy and generously topped with Gorgonzola cheese, and drizzling honey on top made it even more delicious. The dessert plate was casual and charming, perfect for any occasion like a birthday. The Devil's Collection Red wine, with its elegant aroma and smooth tannins, was a full-bodied red wine that perfectly complemented the meal. Overall, this restaurant is a great place to enjoy casual Italian cuisine with a variety of drinks. I would love to come back here again soon.

A renowned Italian restaurant tucked away a little off Namba Station. Their specialties include Pescaatore, Shrimp and Mushroom Ajillo, and Seafood Pizza. All dishes are delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely a place worth visiting again.

This shop is located in a popular area behind the Kabuki-za theater, which caught my attention while walking by, so it was my first visit. The restaurant was almost full inside, resembling a popular local spot. The cuisine is authentic Western food, served promptly, and I ended up eating too much because I kept adding dishes... haha The aioli and risotto were delicious, so I will definitely visit again! The dishes I had were salad, aioli, carpaccio, fish dish, meat dish, pasta, and risotto.
