My wife and I were drawn to Mairebi-sama by the repeated recommendations♪ It made us want to go there so we made a reservation through TableCheck for our first visit♪ We arrived 30 minutes earlier than the reservation time - (人´ з`*)♪ We wandered around the area and arrived 5 minutes before our reservation time - Helloooヽ(*´▽)ノ♪ The entrance door was cute (*^^*)♪ We entered at 5:55 PM and were warmly greeted by the chef with a very kind smile, already winning us over with his personality - 100 points for the chefヽ(*´∀`)ﾉ♪ We knew right then that our dinner today was going to be a hitヽ(*´∀｀)ﾉ♪Yay♪Yay♪ There were no customers before us, and 2 groups of 5 people arrived after us. We were seated at a table by the window, and the interior of the restaurant was cute and very calming♪ Ahhヽ(*´∀`)ﾉ♪ Niceヽ(〃´∀｀〃)ﾉ♪♪♪Saah♪Order time - 17:55. We ordered the "Chef's Choice" glass of 3 wines {sparkling, white, red} for 2,400 yen each - Yay♪ Yay♪ The white and red wines were selected from 3 options and we enjoyed them♪ For the meal course, we had the following: - Soup: Carrot soup that was so beautifully presented that it made me sigh in awe (*´-`)♪ The bread selection included 3 types: No.1 - bread shaped like cat ears, No.2 - black sesame bread, which I would come back to buy if they were sold separately because I love them so muchヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ♪ - Appetizer: Salmon and corn. The lightly seared salmon made me, who usually isn't a fan of salmon, say for the first time in my life, "Salmon... delicious!!!" - Pasta [Orecchiette]: Small ear-shaped pasta with octopus, rapeseed blossoms, and karasumi. Cute little orecchiette with sweet cherry tomatoes as an accent, perfectly balanced and delicious☆ - Main dish: Beef cheek red wine stew.

I received an email saying they were tired of the usual, so I cancelled our plans and made a last-minute reservation for a course meal. We reserved for Sunday lunch, which apparently doesn't happen often. It's a one drink order system, costing around 700 yen each. I added the braised pork cheeks for 1500 yen. Every dish was delicious. They use plenty of vegetables, and the sauces are made by pureeing vegetables into dressings, offering unique dishes not commonly found elsewhere.

Today, I went to the cafeteria Ruta with three friends as usual. The food was delicious as always. We had: 1) Cold corn soup 2) Grilled Thai sea bream 3) Tagliatelle with octopus and edamame 4) Okinawan royal pork (the best dish of the day) 5) Spaghetti with sausage and Parmesan 6) Mango and peach Melba for dessert (the desserts here are always amazing, apparently created by the owner's wife). What I love about Ruta is the calm atmosphere, and the owner's warm personality that makes the food even more delicious. The quality and cost of the food are great, which makes me happy. I have been making a reservation at Ruta every month since my first visit. I am so happy to have found such a wonderful restaurant that I love. Looking forward to my next visit.

In 2023, I finally visited a popular Italian restaurant that was selected as one of the top 100 Italian restaurants in the West. I have always wanted to go there but couldn't get a reservation. The food was beautiful and delicious. I wish I could have a girls' night out at this restaurant, but I don't have any friends in Osaka. It was a place where I could enjoy a meal alone. The lunch menu included chilled potato and gazpacho soup, a selection of 3 types of bread, sautéed salmon with corn, spaghetti with sausage ragu and Parmesan, and a summer droplet shortcake for dessert. The soup was perfect for the hot summer weather, with sweet vegetables. The crispy salmon skin and sweet corn sauce were delicious, and the beans were also very tasty. The pasta was so good that I regret not ordering a larger portion. It had shiitake mushrooms, carrots, komatsuna, and meat under a layer of Parmesan, with a gentle tomato, oil, and garlic flavor that I can't replicate at home. The dessert was a blueberry cake with homemade yogurt sauce, vanilla and lemon curd ice cream. The ice cream was delicious, and the yogurt sauce was refreshing. If I had more room in my stomach, I would have also ordered the beef cheek red wine stew, but I'm in the late stages of pregnancy and can't eat too much.

Today's dishes were ① Soup - Potato and Gazpacho Soup I love RUTA's soup, it's always delicious no matter what I eat!! The balance of vegetables is excellent. ② Appetizer - Sauteed Spanish Mackerel Perfectly cooked and the sauce goes well with the fish, delicious!! ③ Pasta (Penne) - Trofie Fish Ragout Gentle flavor, the seafood broth is just right, delicious!! ④ Main - Yamagata Hanano Beef Sirloin Sweet beef, the seasoning is just right ^^ ⑤ Spaghetti - Salsiccia, Parmigiano This pasta is incredibly delicious, the balance of ingredients and seasoning is superb. ⑥ Dessert - Summer Dew Shortcake RUTA's dessert is truly delicious. A cake like Financier with large blueberries, a perfect dessert to finish the meal. Bread - Three kinds of bread All the bread is too delicious ^^ I especially love the sweet Cat Bread. Once again, I had a satisfying meal at RUTA Dining. I am addicted to this restaurant and visit every month. I am happy to have found a restaurant with the best food and cost performance.

The cute, small pastries at this bakery are easy to eat and the speed of service is good if you let them know in advance. The desserts are delicious and the staff create a warm atmosphere. Men might find the portions a bit small, but it's great for a girls' night out.

I have always wanted to visit this Italian restaurant! The restaurant is located on the second floor and a bit hard to find, I almost passed by it. The stairs in the building are a bit narrow and it made me feel a bit uneasy, but once you enter the restaurant, it has a very cute and pleasant atmosphere! It seems like the chef is handling everything by themselves, and the number of customers seems limited. Dinner reservations are only available for a set course through online booking, priced at ¥6,600. The course includes: - Potato and Gazpacho - Salmon sauté with corn - Trofie pasta with seafood ragout and basil - Beef cheek red wine stew - Linguine with smoked chicken and Parmesan - Salted minty melon - Bread The Gazpacho looks visually stunning. A cold appetizer in the hot summer is very refreshing. The salmon is also nicely sautéed and goes well with the corn sauce. The trofie pasta has a rich seafood broth and is delicious! The beef cheek is incredibly tender and amazing. The dessert was both refreshing and satisfying. Overall, it was a stylish and sophisticated restaurant with delicious food. It can be casual, but the dishes are from a high-quality and lovely restaurant. I highly recommend it for a group of women! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

RUTA, an Italian restaurant located a 5-7 minute walk from Nagahoribashi Station. The clean and cozy atmosphere with wooden accents leaves a lasting impression, popular among female customers. It was selected as one of the top 100 Italian restaurants in the west in 2023. I had difficulty making a reservation over the phone due to temporary closures, so using Table Check for reservations is convenient. This time, I tried the lunch short course. Since it was a one-drink system, I also ordered a mandarin orange juice from Uwajima, Ehime. The chilled potato and gazpacho soup served at the beginning was made with a variety of colorful vegetables, showcasing both its visual appeal and healthiness. The salmon sauté with crispy skin was incredibly tender, complemented by a cauliflower sauce that enhanced the sweetness of the vegetables. The fujilli pasta, rich in cheese and vegetables, had a perfect balance of sauce and pasta, providing a satisfying meal. Even the dessert, with hints of mint and melon, evoked the feeling of summer. Overall, the course menu had a gentle and well-balanced flavor profile. With prices neither too high nor too low, this Italian restaurant is perfect for a little luxury on the weekends. I highly recommend a visit. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I always wanted to go to this Italian restaurant, and even though the portions seemed small, I ended up getting really full. The meat was tender and juicy, the fish had just the right amount of flavor and oiliness, and of course, the pasta was delicious. The soup looked cute too!

Visited for dinner on May 26, 2023. Ordered the dinner course and a Sapporo Lager bottle beer. Went to an Italian restaurant near Nagahoribashi with a slight hangover from the night before. Had made a reservation for 7:00 pm. The restaurant was located on the second floor of a mixed-use building, and upon entering, two out of the four tables were occupied by two groups of women celebrating a birthday. Sat at a table facing these women, feeling a bit out of place. The course menu was priced at 6600 yen, which was reasonable. Opted for a bottle of beer instead of wine. The dishes were simple, including two pasta dishes. The salmon dish was particularly good. The female server, who was calm and quiet, and the handsome chef working diligently in the kitchen gave off a vibe similar to Aoi Wakana. Wondered if they were a married couple. Despite being alone, it was a relaxing dining experience. The total bill came to 7480 yen, and the meal ended in about 80 minutes. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the dining hall RUTA for the first time with three friends and they were excited to go after hearing about the good reviews. The menu for the day included: - Carrot soup: Sweet and delicious, with lots of vegetables in RUTA's unique soup. - Seared salmon with edamame: Fresh salmon and sauce that go well together. - Tagliatelle with seaweed and rapeseed flowers: A unique pasta dish with seaweed that adds a nice flavor. - Braised beef cheek in red wine: Very tender and flavorful, doesn't even need a knife. - Salsiccia and butterbur pasta: My favorite dish, really delicious. - Strawberry milk: A classic dessert for the season, you can have as much as you want. - Three types of bread: All delicious, but the cat-shaped bread was my favorite. They also offer a variety of drinks like coffee, espresso, and tea, which is great. My friends were happy and even made a reservation for the next visit. I'm looking forward to it too. It's such a joy to find a delicious restaurant that I love.

I always visit the dining hall RUTA every month, and it's always with the same group of friends who also love RUTA. Today was another delicious and enjoyable time. My favorite part is always the changing soup that comes first! The taste is exquisite and the combination with the vegetables is just perfect. The main course and pasta are also really delicious! And of course, the dessert today was milk strawberry, which was fantastic. I always make special requests and they always accommodate them. I think everyone who tries RUTA will love it. It's not a fancy high-end Italian restaurant, but the simple dishes at RUTA are what make it great. Since they operate with only one staff, reservations are limited, so it's not always easy to get a reservation. It's best to make a reservation that suits the restaurant's schedule. I'm truly grateful to have found RUTA. I will definitely continue to visit every month!

I had plans to go to Osaka, so I had been bookmarking this old Japanese house Italian cafe for a while. I tried to make a lunch reservation on Table Check a month ago, but it was fully booked, so I visited for dinner instead. The appetizer soup and 6 mini bread rolls looked so cute in the photo that I couldn't resist. The place was as charming as I had imagined from my bookmarking. Depending on the season, they serve purple sweet potato soup, but this time it was new onion soup. Personally, I prefer turnip soup the most, so I was a little disappointed, but it was delicious. The salmon marinated dish was delightful with a nice aroma from being seared. The thick cut was satisfying. The short pasta with sausage and mushroom gnocchi-style Bolognese sauce was very tasty. The pork loin was juicy and delicious. The linguine with rapeseed blossoms really highlighted the flavor of the blossoms. The strawberry milk dessert was smaller than I expected from the photos on Instagram, but it was just the right amount since I was already full. With two pasta dishes, fish, and meat, all enjoyed for under 7000 yen per person, the cost performance was great. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Today, I visited with four friends. No matter how many times I come here, the food is always delicious and the balance of the dishes is excellent. Today's dishes: - Pumpkin Soup: The soup is always delicious, packed with plenty of vegetables and perfectly balanced. - Island Bell Pepper Stuffed with Meat: The bell peppers are sweet! The seasoning of the meat inside is good! - Pasta: Short pasta with buttery flavor, abalone and rapeseed blossoms, incredibly delicious. - Kinjo Agu Pork Grill: The Agu pork is sweet and absolutely delicious. - Pasta: Smoked chicken with Parmigiano: RUTA's pasta is really delicious, I'm glad I got the large serving. - Strawberry Milk: I was so happy to see the strawberry milk dessert again. I could eat it over and over, it's exquisite. This was my first visit to RUTA and I was so impressed by the delicious food that I already made a reservation for next month. Of course, I made a reservation with my other friends as well. I have been visiting RUTA every month since I first discovered it last year and have been enjoying the delicious food and the kind hospitality of the owner. I am looking forward to my next visit.

I visited a restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. I went for lunch and tried their Italian course meal. The soup that came out first was visually appealing, and the other dishes were delicious. The dessert was also authentic and the course was very filling. I would like to go again.

I regularly visit my favorite RUTA restaurant, which serves Italian cuisine. Today's soup, made with daikon radish base, was incredibly delicious. The variety of breads available are all tasty. The balance and seasoning of the fish, meat, and pasta dishes are all delicious, making me look forward to coming to RUTA every time. Today's highlight was the meat pasta, which was incredibly tasty. The chef's high level of cooking skills is always impressive. The chef is also kind, and I always feel healed whenever I visit. The restaurant is not too crowded at night, as the chef seems to limit the number of customers to ensure he can serve delicious dishes. This allows for a relaxing dining experience, which is great. However, I do worry about whether the business can thrive with such limited seating. Therefore, I feel the need to visit the restaurant several times a month to show my support. Of course, you can't go wrong with the delicious food served there.

I heard good reviews so I visited with a friend for lunch. It's hard to get a reservation but we were able to enjoy a relaxed meal with excellent service. The dishes were beautifully presented and the flavors of the ingredients were well balanced, making everything delicious. The prices are on the higher side but it's worth it for a special treat. My friend also loved it. Just be careful not to miss the stairs leading to the second floor when you go for the first time.

I visited a restaurant that I had been wanting to go to for a long time, based on reviews by Mairevi. I finally had the chance to visit when I stopped by on my way to Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine for the first shrine visit of the year. I had made a web reservation in advance as I had heard that the restaurant is always full. The restaurant is located on the second floor of a slightly old building, with a curry restaurant on the first floor that always has a long line. The interior of the restaurant has a warm atmosphere with a touch of age, which is quite calming. I opted for the chef's choice set lunch (3850 yen including tax) with a one drink minimum. I chose the kumquat soda (600 yen, I think) and was also served kumquats soaked in syrup to eat. The slight bitterness of the kumquat was surprisingly delicious. The lunch started with a daikon soup surrounded by lentils, steamed chicken, carrot salad, pickled red cabbage, cherry tomatoes, radishes, and more, all beautifully arranged on a plate. It was a salad, appetizer, and soup all in one plate, with vibrant colors. It was a cold day, so I wished the daikon soup had been hotter, but the taste was smooth and good. The set also included three types of homemade bread: baguette, black sesame bread, and cat ear bread, all warm and delicious enough to make me want more. The cat ear bread was especially outstanding. The appetizer was seared salmon with kumamoto carrot sauce, with the salmon lightly seared on the surface and pleasantly warm inside. The kumamoto carrot, a type of carrot mainly produced in Okinawa, is known for its strong sweetness. The pasta dish was spaghetti with lightly smoked chicken and Parmesan in a tomato sauce, cooked al dente. The smoky flavor added depth to the dish and made it delicious. For dessert, I had the popular strawberry milk dolce, which consisted of high-quality strawberries, vanilla ice cream, baked meringue, strawberry sorbet, and condensed milk sauce. The simple red and white color combination offered a variety of sweetness that spread in the mouth. I ended the meal with a cup of coffee.

This place is famous for its vibrant and colorful soups. The flavors of the ingredients are well preserved, resulting in a gentle and delicious soup. There are various accompaniments for the soup, which is wonderful. Personally, I enjoyed the Viognier served in a glass. It had a floral aroma and tasted fresh, making it my favorite.

A reservation-only restaurant. Reservations can be made starting from one month in advance, but they fill up quickly. They only accommodate about 5 groups. The soup brings out the natural flavors of the ingredients while also being delicious, and the portion sizes of the pasta and main dishes are just right. The presentation is beautiful, making it perfect for dates or girls' nights out. They also provide plates for sharing.

Cut & color in Shinsaibashi for lunch. It's been a while since I got a reservation at Ruta Shokudo. Today's soup is daikon! So delicious! I'll mix it with the vegetables inside. The sweetness of the vegetables is comforting! The appetizer is salmon with pumpkin sauce in front. Yum! The salmon is cooked perfectly delicious! The pasta is Mezzepenne, my first time trying it! I didn't know about this half-length penne, I love it! It goes well with the tomato sauce and tastes great. The dessert is grape Creme Danjou. The Piopone compote was so delicious! Another satisfying lunch at Ruta! Reservations are full for the near future, but you can make reservations in advance through their website, which is convenient. Thank you for the meal! #RutaShokudo #Ruta #ShinsaibashiItalian #BeautifulSoup #DeliciousSoup #ReservationRequired #ItalianLunch #ShinsaibashiItalianLunch #OsakaItalianLunch #ShokudoRuta #Ruta #Ruta
