Opened last fall on the 31st floor of Hankyu Grand Building, FaRo Italian&Cafe is the newest restaurant from Real Dining, a company that operates restaurants in Osaka. The Italian cafe offers a sophisticated and luxurious entrance reminiscent of a hotel lobby. The spacious and bright interior, with noble-colored furniture and wooden decor, creates a contemporary design that is visually appealing. The seating includes spacious counter seats, tables, and pair seats, each section offering a view of the cityscape below. The pair seats by the window provide a floating and intimate experience, allowing guests to enjoy the city view of Umeda's skyscrapers. The restaurant has taken measures to ensure social distancing, with a focus on safety and hygiene, allowing guests to dine with peace of mind.
The menu at FaRo features meticulously crafted Italian regional dishes, wines, and a variety of desserts. The lunch set, "Corso FaRo," consists of 8 items, including specialties like Parma ham and crystal lettuce, FaRo's original bread with homemade ham butter, and a selection of appetizers, soup, main course, pasta, dessert, and petit fours. Each dish is prepared with authentic techniques, high-quality ingredients, and a unique touch, providing a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
One of the specialties, Parma ham and crystal lettuce, features layers of ham and lettuce with mineral water infused in the lettuce to enhance its freshness. The dish combines the chewy texture of Parma ham with Grana Padano cheese for a delightful marriage of flavors. The bread service includes focaccia and zeppole, with the latter incorporating seaweed for an oriental twist. The appetizer platter showcases fresh fish carpaccio, crab and cauliflower mousse, and mushroom pie, each offering a unique taste and texture.
The mushroom soup is rich and flavorful, capturing the essence of mushrooms in each spoonful. The main course options include roasted pork shoulder, duck, grilled fish, grass-fed beef fillet, beef fillet with foie gras, and A5-grade wagyu beef ribeye, each cooked to perfection. The meal ends with a pasta dish, dessert, and coffee, providing a satisfying and memorable dining experience at FaRo Italian&Cafe in Osaka.
