I visited the restaurant in the afternoon. I walked past the long line at "Tempura Makino" and went up the stairs. Since there is no elevator, wheelchairs and strollers cannot be accommodated. The restaurant is spacious with few customers. The menu is a bit complicated with many choices, so it took us a while to decide. It's better to have extra time or decide on the menu beforehand when visiting for the first time. The lunch sets all come with pasta. The options are as follows: [A] Salad + Pasta + Coffee, Tea, or Gelato = 1,000 yen - Change salad to appetizer: 200 yen (1,200 yen) - Change gelato to dessert plate: 200 yen (1,200 yen) - Both changes: 1,400 yen [B] Appetizer + Pasta + Main + Coffee, Tea, or Gelato = 1,400 yen - Change gelato to dessert plate: 200 yen (1,600 yen) [C] Appetizer + Pasta + Meat or Fish dish + Dessert plate + Coffee or Tea = 2,200 yen [S] Appetizer + Pasta + Fish dish + Meat dish + Dessert plate + Coffee or Tea = 3,200 yen I chose option C as I didn't want the full course of option S. The appetizer was more like a salad with various toppings. The pasta had a good amount of saltiness and delicious sauce. The fish dish was oven-baked herb-flavored sea bream, which was tasty and generous in portion. I forgot to take a photo of the dessert, but it was also delicious. The monthly wine selection allowed a choice between red and white. The lunch also included bread, which was tasty. The price of 2,200 yen for all these dishes was very reasonable. The restaurant is a great place to enjoy a proper meal at a leisurely pace. I would definitely like to visit again. The restaurant layout has cozy seats in the front and spacious seating at the back, suitable for large groups. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I visited Viazio Beccaro, which I had been curious about for a while, on July 2nd at 12:40 alone. I was a bit overwhelmed by the reservation guests, but I ended up ordering the B course with an additional dessert assortment. The total was 1,600 yen including tax. The appetizers such as duck, roast beef, and bonito were delicious. The pasta with mushroom oil sauce was good, with the mushrooms blending well with the oil sauce. The main dish of chicken thigh with grain mustard sauce was delicious. They also offered unlimited bread. The dessert assortment of peach sherbet and mascarpone, along with an iced coffee, was good. Overall, everything was delicious but slightly disappointing because my expectations were too high.

Appetizer, pasta, main dish, drink or ice cream. There are 2 pasta options, both with tomato sauce. They were delicious. I was satisfied with the appetizer and pasta. The main dish was roast pork, but it was too salty. The ice cream after the meal was a nice touch. I felt like I was going to burst because I was so full. I understand why people choose to have pasta for lunch at this restaurant.

All of the dishes were delicious! The authentic flavors and the drink included for 1400 yen. The restaurant is spacious and located at the top of a staircase. The staff provided calm and pleasant service. I was very satisfied! Every dish I tried was simply delicious.

Monday, 12:55-13:30, sunny weather, no wait to be seated, 7 minutes wait for food, slightly empty when entering and leaving. B Lunch 1300 yen - Bread appetizer trio (chicken in green sauce, roast beef, seafood salad) - Carbonara - Chicken oven-baked - Iced coffee I used to work at a famous Italian restaurant, and back then, I managed to visit all the Italian restaurants in the Tenjinbashi, Tenma, and Minamimorimachi areas (lol). I haven't been to Italian restaurants much lately, so I decided to go back and refresh my memories. With that in mind, I headed to Via Giobbe Quattro near Temma Station. It's a bit hard to find as it's on the second floor of a shopping street, but a friend who was a foodie at a gay bar told me about it, so I used to go there occasionally. Climbing the stairs after a few years, I found the same calm atmosphere as before. I remember there used to be spacious tables in the back. This time, I sat at a table in the front. The two older male staff members were running the place smoothly. Their operation was smooth, and they explained things politely, just like I remembered. As for the food, the chicken in green sauce was ordinary in terms of taste and texture, but the sauce was flavorful. The roast beef was thin and small, so I couldn't really tell. The seafood salad with octopus, shrimp, and squid was delicious with the marinade sauce. The carbonara was a bit heavy, and I got a little tired of it towards the end. The chicken oven-baked was simple but had a crispy skin, well-seasoned, and fragrant with herbs. The service was excellent, and the taste and cost performance were good, so I felt like coming back to this place after a long time.

I visited for lunch. The cost performance seems good. Pasta lunches tend to feel the same everywhere, but with such a substantial amount and a main dish included at this price (1200 yen), it seems like a good deal. The fidgety short pasta was excellent. Thank you for the meal!

I heard that there is a great pasta lunch deal on weekends, so I went to Viva Giòbe Quattro. You can choose from 3 types of pasta, with salad and a drink included for 900 yen. You can also add a main dish or appetizer for only 1,300 yen! The restaurant is located inside the Tenjinbashi Shopping Street, close to JR Temma Station and Ogimachi Station, on the second floor up a narrow staircase. The atmosphere inside is quiet and elegant, with spaced out tables and acrylic panels between them for safety. The lunch menu is available on weekdays and weekends from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm (closed on Tuesdays). The lunch options include A Lunch for 900 yen, B Lunch for 1,300 yen, C Lunch for 2,000 yen, and S Lunch for 3,000 yen. The pasta options include Roast Ham and Mushroom Cream Sauce, Seafood Tomato Sauce, and Mascarpone Cheese Tomato Sauce. The main dishes for B Lunch are Oven-baked Chicken Thigh, Today's Fish, and Today's Meat. I ordered the B Lunch, which includes an appetizer, pasta, main dish, bread, and coffee or tea. The appetizer platter included a salad and 3 beautifully presented dishes. The pasta was a Seafood Tomato Sauce with plenty of seafood and a delicious flavor. The main dish was a simple Oven-baked Chicken Thigh with a side of bread. Overall, the meal was satisfying and the atmosphere was elegant and relaxing.

The tempura restaurant with a counter has a staircase next to it leading to the second floor. I visited after 1 pm and it was almost full. There are about 4 tables in the front and 2 in the back. Despite the quietness, the restaurant has an open and spacious feel, which was surprising. The lunch set is mainly pasta, with options to add a main dish and dessert. I was tempted by the grilled chicken main dish, but decided to go with just the pasta set considering my stomach fat. It costs 900 yen and comes with salad, bread, and coffee or tea. I chose the mushroom tomato sauce pasta, which arrived in about 7-8 minutes. The tuna and Italian parsley were delicious. The balsamic vinegar in the salad was also fragrant. It truly felt different from the surrounding shops being a specialty store. During my short stay, I noticed that both the previous and following customers were regulars. The service of the staff, along with the taste of the food, is probably the reason for repeat visits. I would like to visit at night once to experience it again.

For lunch on this day, I found this place in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. I didn't notice it without a sign. I was attracted to the grilled black pork in the B lunch menu. It started with an appetizer, followed by pasta with seafood tomato sauce, and grilled black pork. The taste was average. I enjoyed it.

This is an Italian restaurant located in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. It is situated around Tenma area, near Tenjinbashi-suji 4-chome. The entrance faces the shopping street, but the restaurant itself is on the second floor, so it can be a bit hard to find. I visited on a Saturday night with a reservation. The interior was long and narrow, with only one other group besides us. If you make a reservation, you can get a luxurious seat with a chandelier at the back, but without a reservation, you'll be seated closer to the kitchen and entrance. Casual attire is fine. Despite the upscale atmosphere, it's a welcoming place located within the shopping street. I recommend trying the course menu at night. The 4,000 yen A course includes appetizer, pasta, main dish, and dessert, while the 5,000 yen B course offers two main dish options. We ordered the 5,000 yen course for our family, but the staff recommended that the women should go for the 4,000 yen course due to the portion size. My mother chose the 4,000 yen A course, and we opted for the 5,000 yen B course. One great thing about this restaurant is that you can choose freely from around five options for each course, from appetizers to dessert. I personally enjoyed the appetizer platter, clam and mushroom spaghetti, herb-baked sea bream, grilled beef lamp, and mascarpone mousse. The appetizer platter is highly recommended as it gives you a taste of all the appetizers available. The pasta and fish dishes were quite generous in portion, and I was already full at that point. I learned that it's important to listen to the staff's advice. Overall, the dishes had a good balance of flavors and made for an enjoyable course meal.

On the second floor of the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, I visited a shop for the first time. The interior is quite spacious. B lunch for 1300 yen and C lunch for 2000 yen. - Hotaruika and Mizuna oil pasta - Gorgonzola short pasta B lunch has only chicken as an option with a simple presentation. For C lunch, you can choose between meat or fish as the main dish. It comes with a main dish and dessert, and the price is reasonable. It was good.

I visited Italian restaurant "VIA GIOVE QUATTRO" and once again ordered the "A Lunch" (900 yen). I chose the "Carbonara" from the daily pasta menu. "Carbonara" is a pasta dish made with cheese, black pepper, pancetta, and egg. The restaurant opened in 2001. The back room has a spacious and calm atmosphere. The meal comes with salad and baguette. The "Carbonara" had plenty of pancetta and a rich, creamy taste. It was delicious! Afterward, I enjoyed a relaxing time with a cup of coffee. This is the second article about "VIA GIOVE QUATTRO". You can find the first article here: [link to the first article].

I visited on my birthday and despite the last-minute reservation, they kindly prepared a birthday dessert for me. The prefix course had a wide variety of options and all the dishes were delicious. The staff was very gentlemanly and their hospitality was excellent. I will definitely visit again.

I visited Italian restaurant "VIA GIOVE QUATTRO" which has a classy atmosphere. It was my first visit since last August. It is a participating restaurant in the "Go To Eat" campaign. I chose the A lunch set (900 yen) which includes a choice of three daily pasta dishes. I chose the "Mushroom Oil Sauce" pasta. The back room was spacious. The set came with bread and salad. The "Mushroom Oil Sauce" pasta was delicious with plenty of mushrooms. Coffee, tea, or gelato is included in the set. I chose hot coffee which was very comforting. The restaurant is located a little north of JR Temma Station in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. Look for the sign on the building's 2nd floor.

After hot yoga on the weekend, it's time for a delightful lunch with friends! This time, we chose Italian cuisine since we had Chinese last time. We decided to try a new restaurant located along the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. The restaurant had a simple and spacious interior with a choice of set menus. We opted for the B lunch set for 1300 yen, which included an appetizer platter, a pasta dish, a main dish, bread, and coffee, tea, or gelato. The appetizer consisted of pate, roast beef, green salad, and boiled seafood. The pasta choices were mushroom oil sauce or eggplant tomato sauce. The main dish was braised pork belly with mashed potatoes and a tomato sauce. The meal was simple but delicious, with a good balance of flavors. The restaurant has been open since 2001 and offers great service. We enjoyed the experience and would love to visit again.

On Saturday morning, I slept in late and went for a walk with my wife. Today we went to the Temma area. For lunch, we had the B lunch set which included pasta and pork sauté for 1300 yen. My wife had white wine with her oil-based vongole pasta. I had gas water with mushroom and tuna tomato sauce pasta. We each tasted a bite of each other's pasta and agreed they were both delicious. It had been a while since we had pasta, and this one was of high quality and to my liking. The price for this quality and quantity was quite reasonable.

If you make someone happy, that happiness will eventually come back to you. The movie "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" continues to be made because people always have regrets, no matter the era. However, what has happened cannot be changed. What can be changed is your perspective and the future that is yet to come. Kenjiro Ito, who gave a great performance in "Scarlet," plays a pleasant young man in this movie as well. Today, I visited the "Tenjinbashi-Suji Shopping Street." With all the movie theaters closed and limited time for dining out, I decided to try the "Solitary Gourmet" approach of finding a lunch spot without researching in advance. Surprisingly, there were many people walking around the shopping street. Without much thought, I decided to try the restaurant "VIA GIOVE QUATTRO" that caught my eye. I ordered the Lunch A course [Tuna and Mushroom Tomato Sauce] with an appetizer assortment (1,100 yen). The lunch course has four options, but I chose the basic A course and added the appetizer assortment. I selected the "Tuna and Mushroom Tomato Sauce" pasta, while my partner chose the "Carbonara." The pasta had a classic taste, with a good texture and the tomato sauce coated it well. The tuna and mushrooms didn't stand out, but they blended well with the sauce. I enjoyed wiping up all the sauce with the large bread slices. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I love places like this with a variety of food establishments. I also visited the bakery "HATSUTATSU Tenroku Store" and the famous croquette shop "Nakamuraya," which made me happy. I walked the path diligently, enjoyed the experience, and have no regrets.

I visited Italian restaurant "VIA GIOVE QUATTRO" and tried the PRANZO A lunch set (800 yen), which allows you to choose from three daily pasta options. I chose the "Eggplant in Tomato Sauce" pasta, which came with a side salad and baguette. The dish had eggplant pieces in a flavorful tomato sauce that paired well with the cheese. It was delicious! After the meal, I enjoyed an iced coffee for a cool down. The restaurant is located in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, on the 2nd floor of the Kono Building just north of JR Temma Station.

I want to go again because the 2000 yen course (including tax and service) was great value for money. Next time, I want to try ordering a fish-based dish as the main course.

When you exit Temmabashi Station on the loop line, you'll find yourself in the bustling Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, surrounded by a lively atmosphere. This area is a popular dining spot with a wide variety of eateries catering to the masses. In the evening, the neighborhood is packed with office workers and locals, filling up every restaurant. This particular restaurant is located about 10 meters north of the station, on the second floor facing the shopping street. As you climb the stairs, you'll find a small seating area with less than 20 seats on your right. Further back, there is a surprisingly spacious dining area. The restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine, with a calm and sophisticated ambiance that is a stark contrast to the noisy street outside. The walls are adorned with photos of various regions in Italy. I visited around 1:30 PM, so there were only a few customers. During lunchtime, they offer a pasta set menu with choices of tomato-based, cream-based, or oil-based sauces. I chose the Aglio e Olio with bamboo shoots. The dish came with a side salad and a piece of bread, along with a complimentary drink. The pasta, made with thin noodles, had a firm texture. The bamboo shoots were cut into small rectangular pieces, providing a nice crunchy texture. The amount of oil in the dish was quite generous, making the fork slippery. However, the lightness of the bamboo shoots helped balance out the richness of the oil. It might have been even better if they increased the amount of noodles and adjusted the balance with the oil, perhaps by adding more garlic. When I asked the owner later, I found out that the restaurant's name is the Italian translation of Tenjinbashi-suji 4-chome. In Italian, "Tenjin" is Giove, "suji" is Via, and "4" is quattro. The restaurant not only took care in naming itself but also in its design and atmosphere, creating a unique world separate from the busy shopping street.
