For lunch, I drove there so I had no alcohol (*´-`), so let's go with a lunch that includes appetizers and main dishes. I ordered the Amore Lunch for 1750 yen, which includes appetizers, focaccia, soup of the day, fish dish, pasta of the day, and dessert. The appetizer was a refreshing salad with prosciutto and tomatoes dressed in a light dressing. The soup was a consommé with a slightly thick texture and lots of vegetables. For the main course, I chose the fish dish, which included a delicious salmon croquette and fried vegetables. The croquette was made with fatty salmon and was very tasty. The pasta was clam tomato sauce, which was flavorful thanks to the clam broth. The dessert included panna cotta, fruits, and ice cream, creating a well-balanced menu. The pasta was my favorite and very delicious. It was a delightful meal. Thank you for the feast! (╹◡╹)

Italian restaurant in Maruyama area. They offer four lunch courses priced at 1,100 yen, 1,320 yen, 1,650 yen, and 2,100 yen (tax included). I tried the "Amore Lunch" for 1,650 yen. It included: Antipasto, bread, one main dish of the day, one pasta dish of the day, and dessert. Drinks are not included, but you can add a soft drink for 150 yen during lunch. I ordered a coffee after the meal. For the pasta dish of the day, I had a choice between tomato and mozzarella pasta or creamy pasta with mentaiko and various mushrooms. For the main dish of the day, I could choose between warm escabeche with white fish and headless shrimp or breaded chicken thigh. The lunch course was quite generous with a variety of dishes and a filling portion until dessert.

I thought it was strange that I haven't been here despite it being in the neighborhood, so I decided to visit on a whim. There was no one else there. I was worried about the time, but it was fine. I couldn't decide what to order, but ended up choosing today's carpaccio, a platter of three antipasti, and thick-cut bacon carbonara. The soy carpaccio had a Japanese twist to it, with a light soy flavor and oily texture. The antipasti included three types of ham, maybe duck? Or was it Bologna sausage? And prosciutto. The carbonara had a good balance of saltiness and the pasta was cooked just right, although I wondered why they used thin noodles. The portions were quite generous, and I couldn't finish everything. I'm sorry. Thank you for the meal.

I made a reservation for a visit during the daytime. There were about 5 tables for 2 people and 2 tables for 4 people. More than half of the tables had reserved signs on them. I'm glad I made a reservation! The clientele is mostly elderly, but there are also people there for work, with family, or with friends. I ordered the Amore course (1500 yen). You can choose between fish or meat for the main dish, and there are 3 pasta options to choose from. You can upgrade to a beef steak for an additional 150 yen. This time, I ordered the beef steak and cream pasta. - Salad and Carpaccio: The salad had bacon and delicious dressing. The carpaccio was bite-sized and just right. - Soup: A light and flavorful Japanese-style soup. - Focaccia (you can have seconds): It was soft and delicious, although the portion was small, it was enough considering the other dishes. - Steak: Tender and well-seasoned, worth the extra 150 yen. - Pasta: Rich and delicious cream sauce, and the portion was satisfying due to the deep plate. - Dessert: Rich chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and a few fruits. It was nice to have a bit of cake, ice cream, and fruit. The most impressive part was that for about 130 yen, you could get a drink with your lunch, and they also offered a 90-minute all-you-can-drink soft drink option for around 270 yen. I ordered iced coffee before the meal, hot coffee after, and another coffee as a refill at the last order. The food was delicious, and it was a great place to spend time with friends at a leisurely pace and at a reasonable price. If I have the chance, I would like to visit at night as well.

Here is a creative Italian restaurant called "Amore". It's relatively close to home, so when I don't feel like cooking lunch, I often visit with my sons. The cost performance is good, the taste is decent, and it's a casual place where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling formal. The lunch menu is extensive, but I always go for the Special Amore Lunch for $19 (tax included) and a coffee for $1.10 (tax included). The price is reasonable, so the dishes are not overly fancy, but it's a good place to enjoy an Italian course meal without breaking the bank. I'll definitely be back.

I visited the restaurant on a weekday in mid-August. The location was a bit hard to find, but with the help of a car navigation system, we managed to locate it. The restaurant had a small parking lot in front with seating divided into two sections inside. The staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant. We ordered the pasta lunch set which came with salad, soup, focaccia, and dessert. The salad and soup were small, and the focaccia was tiny. The pasta dishes we ordered were tasty but had a strong Japanese flavor instead of the usual Italian taste. The dessert was also mini-sized. Overall, the lunch set was cute and charming, but the flavors were not what we expected from an Italian restaurant. The chef seemed more suited for traditional Italian dishes. Thank you for the meal.

On a certain holiday, I went to a restaurant called "Amore" located in Chuo Ward, North 6 West 25 Street, a little off the main road. The restaurant offers Italian cuisine and seems to have a small parking lot in front. The interior is decorated in calming colors with comfortable white chairs, and there are "Reserved" signs on some tables, indicating its popularity. The background music consists of Western music that suits the atmosphere of the restaurant. For lunch that day, I decided to try the "Amore Lunch (1500 yen)" which includes a main dish of "Fried Chicken Thigh with Herb Salt" and pasta with "Domestic Pork and Eggplant Bolognese". I also ordered a hot coffee (+110 yen) for dessert. The salad with prosciutto and octopus carpaccio were refreshing with a light Italian dressing, and the octopus carpaccio was particularly delicious with fresh octopus and olive oil. The mushroom soup was flavorful with finely chopped shimeji mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, onions, and bits of meat, highlighting the natural taste of the ingredients. The warm focaccia was soft yet chewy, and it tasted even better with olive oil. However, I was disappointed when my plate was taken away without asking after I had finished half of the Bolognese sauce. The chicken dish was delicious, with crispy fried chicken seasoned with herb salt and olive oil. It was served with sautéed shimeji mushrooms, boiled broccoli, and fried pumpkin in a balsamic vinegar-based sauce. The pasta was made with very thin noodles and a flavorful meat sauce with a hint of alcohol, complemented by the wild aroma of the local pork. For dessert, I had a homemade chocolate mousse with strawberries, which had a balanced sweetness, and strawberry ice cream with a hint of sweetness. The fruits served alongside were pineapple, strawberries, and oranges. The hot coffee was decent, and I finished my meal with a sense of satisfaction, despite the disappointment of the focaccia plate being taken away abruptly. Thank you for the meal.

Rarke-san was full, so I decided to visit this shop for the first time! I knew the shop was there, but I always had the impression that it was crowded and hard to get in, so I never had the chance to go there. When I entered, it was indeed crowded, and I wasn't sure if I could get a seat, but they welcomed me. The atmosphere is elegant and adult-like. I chose the chicken and mushroom cream pasta lunch. It comes with salad, soup, focaccia, pasta, dessert, and a drink! A great deal! The pasta was delicious with the umami of the chicken and rich sauce! The mushrooms were firm and good. The focaccia was soft and easy to eat, and the soup had plenty of vegetables, which was nice. The dessert was beautifully presented, and it was a very fulfilling set! Mmm, I'm satisfied with the delicious and wonderful time! I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

It is an Italian restaurant hidden away in a residential street, not the kind of place you would drive by in your car. I remembered being told to try it before, so I decided to visit. We ordered the Amore lunch set for two, which costs 1390 yen. You can choose one main dish. For the appetizers, we had a salad with prosciutto and soy carpaccio. The ingredients seemed good considering the price, but the flavors were a bit too strong. You can have seconds of the focaccia bread, which comes with olive oil, a nice touch. The soup was a consommé with mushrooms and bacon. For the main dishes, we had pork tenderloin and minced meat cheese bake with mustard sauce, and white fish and vegetable breaded fry with remoulade sauce. The pork dish had a demi-glace sauce, and the vegetable fritters were served with balsamic sauce. The fish was well-seasoned with salt. The pasta dishes we tried were a tomato pasta with mushrooms and tuna in a Boscaiola style, and a creamy pasta with chicken breast and asparagus. Both were quite salty with a strong use of salt and black pepper. For dessert, despite the limited budget, they tried to offer a variety of options, but the flavors fell a bit short. Overall, the restaurant seems to try to present itself well within its price range. It's a good option for those who don't usually go to Italian or French restaurants. It's worth comparing with Trattoria L'arche nearby, as they offer completely different cuisines. Both places weren't exactly to my liking, but it's just a matter of personal taste.

I had the Amore lunch for 1,390 yen in September 2017. It included appetizer, soup, choice of main dish (fish or meat), choice of pasta (from 3 options), and dessert. I think it offers good value for the price. When I left today, the chef came out and politely greeted me. Thank you for the delicious meal.

November 2016 revisit. Today, I ordered the Amore lunch for 1,390 yen including tax. First, I had the Bologna sausage salad and sea bream carpaccio. Next, a vegetable consomme soup. For the main course (fish), I chose fried cod with tartar sauce. I also tried a bite of the main course (meat), cheese-baked pork tenderloin, which was delicious and refreshing. For pasta, I chose the "Japanese-style pasta with okra and spicy cod roe," which had a well-balanced flavor. Dessert included chocolate cake and fruit. The chef handles the cooking alone, with only one female staff member serving in the dining area, but the dishes are served smoothly. By the time I left, the restaurant was almost full. Despite being busy, the chef came out of the kitchen to greet me politely when I left. Thank you for the meal. (July 2016) I visited based on the review of a reviewer I referred to. There seems to be a parking lot, so I followed the car navigation to get there. When I saw the restaurant, I remembered that I had been there before. I vaguely remember that the prices were quite high, but I don't recall the details. However, if it offers good value for money, the restaurant may have changed. The interior is stylish and has a calm atmosphere. A friendly female staff member guided me to my seat. The lunch menu has four options. If you choose only salad, pasta, and coffee, prices start from 890 yen including tax. Today, I had the Amore lunch for 1,390 yen including tax. I used a coupon for a coffee after the meal. The appetizers arrived first. Bologna sausage salad and sea bream carpaccio. The salad was crunchy and delicious. Next, I was served a cold soup made with North Akari potatoes. It wasn't rich, but it had a light flavor, perfect for summer. For the main course, you can choose between fish and meat. I chose the chicken salt koji sauté for my meat dish. The tender chicken thigh meat was topped with lemon slices. The peeled lemon zest was neatly arranged, showing attention to detail. The side dish included shimeji mushrooms and pumpkin fritters, which were delicious and piping hot. The white fish was fried. I tried a bite and it was crispy. For pasta, I chose the pasta with mozzarella cheese and fresh tomatoes. The mozzarella cheese paired nicely with the tangy tomato sauce. Dessert consisted of homemade chiffon cake, vanilla ice cream, and orange, cherries, and pineapple. Cocoa powder was sprinkled in the shape of a fork, which was cute. When I paid, the chef came out and greeted me politely. The value for this lunch is amazing. Thank you for the meal.

On Sunday night, there is a wide bed, a sleepless longing, waiting for the morning while embracing each other, because embracing and being embraced is like a carnival kiss, it is the fire of life, it is "Amore"...... I was planning to finish by 6 pm following Shokorin-san, but DGD-san posted a real visit to the store at 8 pm today (today is about May). I started with a morning walk today, and walked 29,000 steps in one day, which is quite impressive. It's not something you can do locally. I went by subway, but I walked quite a bit even after getting off the subway. It says "hidden gem!" but it doesn't feel that hidden, but someone next to me says, "It's hidden!" so it must be hidden. I entered the store at 8:15 pm. Three women were chatting lively. There were no other customers. If there are no other customers, why seat us right next to them? They are noisy, but they are not getting too close even when looking at the menu. They maintain a good distance, but they still observe the customers. It's a very good feeling, refined. I ordered a "heavy red wine." There is one man. We ordered an "amuse-bouche and carpaccio assortment" and a "Gorgonzola and mixed cheese pizza." The jazz is played on the piano. It's jazz on the piano. Choose whichever you like. The "red wine" doesn't feel too strong, but it's house wine, so no complaints. It's one of those "heavy wines" that fools learn. The "amuse-bouche and carpaccio assortment" is delicious, but nothing special. The "Gorgonzola and mixed cheese pizza" is exquisite. Well, I'm not an expert on pizza, but the dough is chewy, like a "dessert pizza," as the person next to me said. The Gorgonzola is very strong. Honey came with it. I understand pairing honey with strong cheese, but this level of intensity is not for me. But I tried it out of curiosity. It's sweet. It becomes like a dessert. It's tasty, but I don't need it. However, I played around and tried it. It's sweet. It's like a dessert. It's delicious. This can work, right? My wife was surprised. I dipped it and ate it, but my wife drizzled it and ate it. We had a very delicious pizza. I'd like to try the pasta next time. That's all for today.

In this neighborhood, in terms of content and quality, this Italian restaurant offers the best cost performance. The lunch was satisfying for both the stomach and the heart with no shortcuts, no compromises, and wonderful dishes. The octopus head carpaccio and salami salad were excellent appetizers. The octopus' saltiness pairs well with wine, and the salad was fresh and delicious. The bread was perfectly warm, fluffy, and soft, making you want more. The vegetable soup was well-balanced and tasty. For the main course, you could choose between meat or fish, and I chose the fish dish. The eruption bay wild sea bass meunière with lemon butter sauce was soft and delicious, bringing out the maximum flavor of the sea bass. The hot plate kept the dish warm until the end. The shimeji mushroom tempura was crispy and added a nice texture. The pumpkin tempura was also delicious with a crispy and fluffy texture. I chose the cream sauce pasta with chicken thigh meat, eringi, shiitake, and shimeji mushrooms. The seasoning, pepper, cream sauce, pasta cooking, everything was on point. The chicken thigh meat had a natural flavor and tasted great with the cream sauce. It was a satisfying pasta dish with lively and delicious ingredients. For dessert, I had the baked cheese apple sorbet with grapes, pineapple, and strawberries. The artistic presentation was enjoyable, and the dessert was satisfying. The baked cheese was really delicious, and the apple sorbet was also tasty. The softbank Wi-Fi connection was a plus, and the attentive staff and the chef's friendly farewell during payment made the experience even better. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic. Although this restaurant is underrated on Tabelog, it is truly a hidden gem. The name "Amore" is simple yet charming, and compared to my favorite Della Amore nearby, I actually preferred Amore. It had a sophisticated ambiance but offered reasonably priced lunches, making it very appealing. I look forward to coming back again next time!

Great Italian restaurant with excellent cost performance and taste during lunchtime! The dishes and the interior of the restaurant are stylish. It is located in a residential area slightly off North Gojo Street, near my parents' house. I have been curious about it for a while. I tried the Amore lunch course for 1280 yen with a drink coupon. The appetizer... consisted of shrimp, lettuce and celery salad topped with ham, which was quite generous in portion. The dressing was delicious! I couldn't help but think about how it was made, and they were even selling the dressing next to the register, tempting me to buy some. The focaccia... warm and fluffy, and you can ask for seconds. The soup... a chilled soup made with Hokkaido red turnip. The sweetness of the red turnip was subtly present. When I dipped the focaccia in the soup, it was so tasty! For the main dish, you can choose between fish or meat. That day, the fish option was white fish with mushroom tempura drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The meat option was chicken wing dumplings with mushroom tempura and herb seasoning. Despite the fancy names, they were basically tempura, sorry about that... Having fried food in a course meal might be a bit heavy?! The light main dish was great, but it was tough when the tempura came out with the fish (I'm a bit picky). For the pasta... you can choose between cream, tomato, or clam sauce. That day, I had cream sauce with cabbage and bacon, tomato bolognese, and clam salt pasta. Since I had just eaten clam and bolognese dishes, I opted for the cream sauce pasta with a thinner noodle. The sauce was light and silky, not too heavy thanks to the cabbage, and very delicious. For dessert... vanilla ice cream with fruits and chiffon cake. The vanilla ice cream was so good (^-^)/ Considering the portion size and taste, the price of around 1300 yen is quite reasonable. The owner came out to greet us when we paid the bill. There are many Italian restaurants in the area, so I hope this one can stand out. I would like to try their dinner menu as well.

I visited a friend who lives far away, even though their house is actually nearby (laughs). We went on Sunday around 2pm and there was only one other group of 2 customers already inside. We both chose the pasta lunch - I had steamed chicken and asparagus in cream sauce, while my friend had clam and tomato sauce. We were served salad and soup, and then waited for our pasta with focaccia. When the main pasta dishes arrived, I thought the portion was a bit small, but with the focaccia, it was enough. The taste was delicious and the set with dessert for 1090 yen was great value. We added coffee for an extra 110 yen and paid a total of 1200 yen for a satisfying meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice as well. When we paid, the chef and his wife (?) saw us off. I've read some harsh reviews about this place, but maybe the owner or chef has changed? I would definitely come back for a casual meal.

Welcome! Located in the Chuo Ward, Maruyama area, this Italian restaurant is in a somewhat hard-to-find location. It used to be Italian before, and it still is now. It brings back memories of the times when I used to go to Satsuki-yu nearby. Hello! The interior is very stylish, with a black color scheme. The staff will guide you to the counter, with a cool atmosphere. During the day, the counter has a lot of shadows due to the sunlight coming from behind. In the back of the counter, you can see the kitchen, where the chef seems to be talking with a lack of enthusiasm. I heard that the reviews for this place were not so great, so I decided to check it out. So far, it doesn't seem too bad. First, I had a salad with a lot of mizuna and an oil dressing (I like it). The pasta of the day was a cream pasta with thinly sliced roast ham and Chinese cabbage. The Parmigiano cheese flavor was strong, and the roast ham was abundant. The ham, onions, and Chinese cabbage added a nice salty touch to the dish. The cream sauce was rich and flavorful, making it hard to stop eating. After the meal, I had coffee, which was delicious. The staff was polite and attentive, making the experience even better. The owner, who came out later, looked friendly despite his intimidating appearance. I heard that the dinner course is affordable, but the full course lunch is priced at a local rate, which is rare for an Italian restaurant these days. I'm not sure if they are competing with nearby restaurants or just experimenting with pricing. Overall, I think I need to come back and try it again. With each conversation, the staff became more friendly and started to smile more. It's a great place, isn't it? That's all for now. Thank you for reading.

So, the other day, I had lunch in the Maruyama area and I'd like to introduce the restaurant, "Amore." A friend of mine knows the owner, so we decided to visit. After a quick greeting, we ordered a simple lunch. We started with a salad, which was really simple. It was a bit noisy in the back as some local ladies were having a gathering, but it was fine for a lunchtime atmosphere. It's better to have a lively environment rather than eating in silence with a serious face. Then we quickly moved on to dessert and there are so many other restaurants in the area that I want to try! If I feel like it, maybe I should move here (laughs).

This is an Italian restaurant located in the Enzan Nijuyonken area. The lunch special feature of this restaurant is definitely its high cost performance. The popular Amore lunch course includes appetizer, bread, soup, choice of meat or fish main dish, pasta, and dessert for only 1280 yen. - Appetizer: Octopus carpaccio and prosciutto salad. The dressing here is homemade and quite popular, with the option to purchase it separately. It is easy to eat and the quality of the appetizer is high. - Bread: Homemade fluffy focaccia served with olive oil for adjusting the texture and flavor. Refills are available, so it's great for those with a big appetite. - Soup: The Minestrone soup was served on the day of visit. There was nothing particularly special about it. The menu changes depending on the day. - Main dish: Chose the pork stew, which was very tender and easy to cut with a fork. The tempura side dish with balsamic sauce was not to my personal liking. - Pasta: Choose from 3 types (tomato-based, cream-based, salt-based). The menu changes weekly. Ordered the scallop flake and eringi mushroom cream pasta on this day. - Dessert: Panacotta with ice cream and fruits. The plate was decorated with a fork shape, adding a touch of elegance. Compared to other Italian restaurants, this place may not have pasta or soup with elaborate ingredients, but the high cost performance from the salad dressing and variety of dishes is impressive. It's recommended for those looking to enjoy a full Italian course meal at a reasonable price. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant because I heard that Chef Tsuchinaga, who had been working at other restaurants in Sapporo for many years, started working at "Amore" from June 1, 2011. I had a lunch alone and ordered the pasta lunch for 950 yen. The salad was light and made with delicate vegetables typical of Chef Tsuchinaga. The pasta was perfectly al dente Fedeirini with crunchy green beans, sliced black olives, crispy cucumber cubes, and ruby-colored cherry tomatoes, all mixed with golden cream sauce and topped with orange sea urchin. It was amazing for only 950 yen. I went for lunch again with family and ordered the lunch course with antipasto and a main meat dish. The antipasto platter had 4 different items and the pasta was similar to the previous one with various vegetables and seafood. The dessert was panna cotta, simple yet delicious. I want to try dinner next time and take proper photos. I made a reservation for dinner with a friend, and Chef prepared everything within a budget of around 5000 yen per person. The antipasto was Sayori carpaccio and meat terrine, both delicious. The first primo piatto was squid cream risotto, heavenly delicious. The secondo piatto was pork fillet with Parmesan and herbs, perfectly seasoned. I want to try dinner again and take better photos.

【Second submission】November 2011 - Third time - Lovely Doichi, wonderful Doichi♪【First submission】January 2011 - I had high hopes when I entered the new restaurant, but it was very disappointing. After years of dining out, it is rare to come across a restaurant like this. It used to be the location of the pastry shop Il Need. It is a cursed location where no other successful restaurant has survived. Nearby, there is the Satsuki-yu public bath. For detailed location information, please check on Tabelog. There are about three parking spaces in front of the restaurant. I was intrigued when the previous Italian restaurant closed down and this new one opened. On this day, when my wife and I were looking for lunch, we stumbled upon this restaurant that had just opened, so we decided to try it. Nearby, there are popular restaurants like Le Barolo and the talented Raruke. I couldn't help but have high expectations. There were about three other customers, including a middle-aged man who looked like a company employee. The owner seemed to be stationed at the counter. Looking at the lunch menu, there were three options: Salaryman Lunch for 700 yen, Amore Lunch for 1500 yen, and Chef's Special Lunch for 2500 yen. The ambiance of the tables was nice, so we ordered the Amore Lunch and the Chef's Special Lunch. The Chef's Special Lunch came with a main meat dish in addition to the Amore Lunch. We ordered the recommended pasta and Mushroom Burnt Butter Flavor. ☆☆ Chef's Special Lunch ☆☆ ★1.0 CP ★ 0.1 Appetizer: 3-point assortment - Shrimp Cocktail, Salmon Ceviche, Caprese The colors were similar and lacked variety. This was still the best part of the meal. Pasta: Recommended Pasta and Mushroom Burnt Butter Flavor I was expecting something on par with Le Barolo, but it was a sudden change to a different world. Lacked flavor and was not very filling, tasted like instant noodles. The Mushroom Burnt Butter Flavor was disappointing as well. Bread: Common bread that you can find anywhere. Refills were not allowed. Since the pasta portion was small, I tried to fill up with bread but couldn't. Main Meat Dish: Steak Three thin slices that were very ordinary, with no distinctive features or color. This was equivalent to about 1000 yen worth of lunch. Dessert: Yomogi Mochi and Mango Sorbet The yomogi mochi was very small and lacked flavor. If it was homemade or as delicious as Kusataro, it would have been better. The mango sorbet was also very ordinary and not particularly delicious. For a 2500 yen lunch, this disappointing dessert was a first in my dining experience. Personally, I felt it was a shortcut. Coffee: Espresso - Average quality, which was the only decent part of the course today. With all this, 2500 yen was quite a shock. If there was at least one standout dish, it would have been better. Even in a restaurant like this, I hope it becomes a good one. The world of food is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. It is a big question whether I will revisit during my lifetime. I would like to introduce good restaurants if possible. It is difficult for the writer as well. It was very disappointing, but thank you for the meal.
