I stopped by for lunch on my way back from Onchi Shrine in Yao City (^_^). The pasta here is delicious and reasonably priced. This time, I had the tuna, chrysanthemum greens, and taro pasta in tomato sauce set, with an additional 200 yen for soup and salad. The salad dressing was to my liking. Today's soup was sweet potato potage. The focaccia was chewy. The pasta had a nice bitterness from the chrysanthemum greens. Everything tasted just the way I like it, so I was very satisfied once again ♡

Today I was working in Kashiwara City in South Osaka. I got off at the Kintetsu train station called Hozanji Station. After finishing my visit to a company nearby, I decided to have lunch. I found this Italian restaurant right in front of the station. When I entered around noon, there were no other customers, but soon after, the restaurant started to fill up quickly with both reserved tables and walk-in customers. It seemed quite popular considering its location. Upon being seated, a waitress explained the menu to me. The basic lunch set (salad + focaccia or soup + pasta) was priced at 900 yen, with a drink included it was 1,100 yen, and with dessert included it was 1,300 yen. The pasta options were: - Bacon, new onion, and komatsuna in tomato sauce - Pork mince simmered in wine with winter vegetables in cream sauce - Shirasu, yam, and spring cabbage in peperoncino I was in the mood for the cream sauce pasta that day, so I ordered that. Lunch Set (Cream Sauce Pasta) + Drink Price: 900 yen + 200 yen The salad was generously portioned with a variety of leafy greens, which was nice. The potato potage soup was rich and delicious, perfect for warming up on a cold day. Moving on to the main pasta dish, it had a creamy sauce that was more on the watery side, giving it a soupy pasta feel. The dish was garnished with plenty of toppings and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese around the edge of the plate, making it visually appealing. The light and flavorful cream sauce made the dish easy to eat, not heavy on the stomach at all. It was light yet tasty, and I enjoyed it. There are no other fancy restaurants around, so a place like this is a rare gem in the area. Thank you for the meal!

I stopped by on my way back from running errands. It was around 12 o'clock. It seemed to be a relaxing spot for moms. There were various pasta options for lunch. I chose the recommended snow crab pasta. It's amazing that you can eat snow crab for 1500 yen with salad and a drink included!

Lunch Pasta (selected tomato cream pasta from recommended pastas) ¥1500 was delicious. However, it had a very common taste. Maybe because it was a holiday, there were a lot of children, so the atmosphere was not very comfortable.

It was a homely Italian meal. It was delicious.

I visited a while ago. We had lunch. As far as I remember, we shared one appetizer, oil pasta, cream pasta, and Margherita pizza among three people. It was well-prepared and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

It was delicious! ♬

♪Ciao, ciao, Bambina♪ A popular Italian restaurant in Kashiwara, "Ciao"! Accompanied by wine, I enjoyed the lunch box which included tomato sauce penne, tofu quiche, rice croquette, broccoli and yam aglio e olio, prosciutto, potato salad, roast beef, and marinated celery, lotus root, and shimeji mushrooms. Everything was delicious and paired perfectly with the wine! Thank you for the wonderful meal! (*^_^*)

One evening for dinner. The restaurant was almost full just after opening, seems to be a popular spot around here. Customers of all ages and genders were present. The tomato and prosciutto salad was delicious with a tangy dressing. The warm egg Caesar salad had a generous portion and just the right amount of salt. The surprising thing was the size of the pizza. It was quite small. The price per slice was cheap, so it made sense, but it would be nice to have a regular size option as well. I'm not sure if the pizza oven is small or if there are kitchen constraints. The dough had a chewy texture that I like and the tomato sauce was tasty. I'm not a pasta person, so I could probably finish two slices on my own. However, it was crowded so I refrained from ordering more. The service was also polite, overall a good restaurant experience.

On my birthday, my family made a reservation for me at this restaurant because it had good reviews. They offer convenient set menus as well as individual pasta and pizza dishes. The restaurant was full, but the food came out quickly. The pasta had a rich flavor, especially the Aglio e Olio. My mother secretly ordered a cake for my birthday! They wrote my name in chocolate on a plate and brought out a selection of cakes. It was just the right amount since I was already full. The restaurant was packed, so some customers were leaving. I thought maybe they could add more seating if they reconsidered the layout. It was delicious!
