"Becca" means "to peck" and "Fico" means "fig." It refers to a gourmet bird that enjoys eating ripe figs. I made a reservation for 1:00 PM after calling at 11:00 AM and was the first to enter at the 1:00 PM slot.The seating arrangement was in a reverse L shape, with the inside of the L being the seating area. I noticed that all the customers seemed to have made reservations, so my decision to call ahead was the right one. There were no menus, just one option: "We will make it for you."Lunch Set for ¥1000 included:- Assorted appetizers- Focaccia- Fish Ragout Sauce PastaI was first surprised by the volume of the appetizers and then amazed by the quality of each item. The freshly fried chicken cutlet frittata was juicy and full of flavor. The eggplant had a surprising texture, almost like oysters. The focaccia sprinkled with black sesame seeds had a fragrant aroma, plenty of salt, and was soaked in oil, making it satisfying to eat. It paired well with alcohol.For the main dish, handmade pasta with fish ragout sauce was served. The pasta was slightly increased as a service due to the wait, which was much appreciated. The pasta, with a diameter of about 2mm, had a firm elasticity and a rich wheat flavor. The combination of the fish ingredients, oysters, daikon radish, and komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) created a depth of flavor that was truly delicious and satisfying. The harmony between the ingredients, sauce, and pasta was exceptional. It was incredibly delicious! ＼(^o^)／

I went to my favorite Il Becco Fiocco for lunch after a long time. I made a reservation for the 1:00 pm slot online. The lunch included: - Appetizers (salad, two types of ham, two pieces of chicken cutlet, mushroom terrine, Spanish omelette, simmered beans, potato salad, tuna baguette) - Black sesame focaccia - Spaghetti with bacon and tomato cream sauce with komatsuna stems The pasta was the same as the April lunch menu. The appetizers were mostly the same, with the crispy chicken fry being particularly delicious. The portion of noodles seemed a bit smaller, but it was just right as I was already full. Note: I forgot the name of the simmered beans dish.

I entered the restaurant just before 1 pm on a regular day. It seemed like the perfect time for a smooth entry as customers were just changing. A few customers who had made reservations later entered. The lunch menu consists of only one set menu, so there are no menu books, and the staff explains it verbally. The set includes bread, appetizers, and spaghetti, all for only 1100 yen (tax included)! First, the bread was served. It had a nice sesame flavor and was fluffy and delicious. The plates were stylish too. Then, I was told that the cutlets were being fried, so it would take some time. I waited patiently, and it was worth it! The appetizers were so generous and satisfying! Chicken cutlet, rolled omelette, two types of ham, a mountain of salad, beans, potato salad, French bread - all on one plate! The chicken cutlet was steaming hot and delicious. The long rolled omelette showed the generosity of the chef. The salad with a generous serving of ham was flavored with balsamic vinegar, giving it a nice taste. This one plate alone filled me up quite a bit. After a while, the spaghetti arrived. It was a creamy tomato pasta, I believe. Creamy with a summery tomato flavor, it was delicious. Each dish takes a bit of time to arrive, so those on a one-hour lunch break may feel rushed. I eat quickly, but my stay was about 45-50 minutes. The atmosphere and service at the restaurant were good! And I am grateful for a restaurant that provides such a generous amount of food for 1100 yen. I am happy to have discovered this great restaurant! I left feeling full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal! I will definitely come back.

During the long break, I decided to treat myself to lunch at Il Becco Fiore again. The appetizer plate was as generous as ever, with plenty of leafy greens to enjoy. The hot cutlet was a delightful addition, and the sesame focaccia was soft and delicious. Soon after, the pasta plate arrived with a creamy tomato sauce that was perfectly blended. I enjoyed every bite and left feeling happy and satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I always book at 12 o'clock and am impressed by the appetizers every time! The focaccia is so delicious that it's almost worrying how cheap it is. I wish they sold it somewhere. The pasta with tomato cream sauce was also very tasty. I was the most satisfied this time compared to before, although I think the prices have gone up slightly. Still, it's the best value for money.

The reservation was fully booked, and some parties without reservations left. There is only one lunch option available. The appetizer mainly consists of lettuce, but overall, it is satisfying. The pasta is also quite good and delicious. In the past six months, the appetizer has remained the same, with only a few pasta options available, similar to this visit. The lunch was initially explained to cost 1,100 yen, which includes tax. The drink menu lists the price excluding tax, with carbonated water priced at 550 yen. The total bill was 1,650 yen if calculated with tax included, 1,705 yen if tax is added to the drink price, and 1,760 yen if a different drink is chosen. The meal included pasta lunch, assorted appetizers, focaccia, today's pasta special (salmon tomato cream), and carbonated water.

A small cafe or bar-style restaurant with surprisingly generous appetizers. Even without a main pasta dish, women will feel satisfied. The bread that comes with it is soft and fluffy, delicious. I was impressed. The pasta is tomato cream. The noodles were firm and al dente. The price is 1,100 yen including tax. There is only one lunch option. Thank you for the meal, I would like to go again.

I wanted to treat myself to a rewarding lunch after my health check-up, and I must say it was delicious and very filling to the point of being almost painful. The retro atmosphere was also great. If it's this wonderful, I will definitely come back again, not just for a reward lunch!! Even though it was right after opening, some people couldn't get in, so I recommend making a reservation even for lunch. (*^^*)

I finally visited the Italian restaurant IL BECCAFICO that I had been curious about. For lunch, there is only one option which is the daily special set consisting of assorted appetizers, homemade focaccia, and the pasta of the day. It's hard to believe that it's only 1100 yen considering the generous portion and incredibly delicious taste. The assorted appetizers were truly outstanding, each one delicious in its own way. The pasta also did not disappoint, with a hidden flavor in the daily sauce that worked really well. The olive oil used had a wonderful aroma. It's definitely worth making a reservation in advance as it gets quite busy. However, even with a reservation, you may still have to wait in line, so keep that in mind.

It was lunch on Sunday, and the restaurant was so crowded that you couldn't get in without a reservation. There were 8 seats at the counter and 5 tables. There was only one type of pasta and appetizer for lunch. The appetizer was quite generous. The homemade bread was salty but delicious. Unfortunately, they didn't have the beer and lemon squash listed on the menu, so I had wine instead. However, when I checked the bill later, it seemed like there were some mistakes in the calculation.

I was in the mood for Italian for lunch today, so I looked it up on Tabelog. The restaurant was on the second floor, and coincidentally, the first floor was also an Italian-like restaurant, so I got a bit confused, haha. Climbing the steep stairs with a long history, I finally reached the restaurant I was looking for! The interior of the restaurant had a great atmosphere, so I had high expectations. The lunch menu was simple, with only one option - a salad appetizer, focaccia, and pasta for 1,100 yen. (I think it was about 200 yen extra for a large portion of pasta.) For drinks, you could choose from Italian PERONI beer, sparkling wine, house wine, or a highball (each 500 yen). I was surprised when the salad appetizer came out first! It was a generous salad with a variety of appetizers piled on top! The appetizers included not only Italian dishes but also Japanese-style rolled omelet and freshly fried chicken cutlet, so you could enjoy a variety of flavors without getting tired of it. It was my first time trying PERONI, and it was light and easy to drink. The focaccia was soft and chewy with sesame seeds. The pasta had a delicious sweetness from the vegetables and Genovese sauce, and I ordered a large portion because I wanted to have more! It was a restaurant that left a lasting impression on me for the first time in a while at lunchtime! ＼(^o^)／

I visited Il Becco Fico in Osaka Higobashi, a famous Italian restaurant. I made a lunch reservation and was very satisfied with the appetizer plate, focaccia, and pasta. All of it was delicious, and I couldn't believe it was only 1100 yen. The appetizer plate was filled with salad, ham, fried chicken, scrambled eggs, cheese, and more. The sesame focaccia was moist and chewy, very tasty. The pasta with salmon tomato cream was juicy and exactly to my liking. This is a restaurant that I hope continues to do well.

After a long time, I visited the restaurant for lunch. I had a reservation for 1:00 pm, but I arrived late due to the rain, about 5 minutes late. I'm sorry. I noticed that I had missed a call from the restaurant. They probably make pasta all at once in two shifts, either starting at 12:00 pm or 1:00 pm. The appetizer salad was full of lettuce with hijiki in it, Spanish omelette with two types of ham, mushroom terrine, marinated sardines or small horse mackerel, baguette, and a chicken cutlet that was so big it could be mistaken for the main dish. Also, black sesame focaccia, and cream pasta with tomatoes and onions. Today, I was very satisfied with the generous amount of noodles and the abundant appetizer salad. The cost performance is excellent. But I think it may have gone up from 1000 yen to 1100 yen? (Was it originally that price? Sweat) They may be busy and speak quickly, but their polite language and consideration make me feel comfortable. Thank you always! ♯I feel a big difference compared to the Italian restaurant nearby that takes reservations. (Bitter smile)

I gave up on this place last time, but this time I made a reservation for 1:30 PM and headed there on a shared bicycle from JR Osaka Tenmangu Station. However, I got the building wrong... it was the next building, not the apartment building. When I arrived around 1:35 PM, the place was almost 90% full. I had to wait a bit and was seated at a counter seat towards the back. I ordered lunch and it started with appetizers... quite luxurious. I thought the salad would be bland, but the vegetables were seasoned well with salt and olive oil. The egg dish and prosciutto were delicious, but the other side dishes were so-so. The chicken tempura was really tasty, maybe it could even be a main dish. The bread was just okay, and the main dish, a cream pasta, was decent. I used 600 points and paid 500 yen in cash. I'm off to do some shopping.

After attending a shareholder meeting at Osaka International Convention Center on Nakanoshima, I suddenly decided to go to Il Becco Fico, a place I've been wanting to visit for a while. Without checking the opening hours, I hurried to the restaurant after the meeting. It's a popular place, so I thought I should hurry! I arrived at the restaurant quickly and went up the stairs to the second floor. The retro atmosphere was very nice. However, I couldn't sense any people around, making me wonder if this was really the right place. I hesitantly opened the door to find out that it was still before opening time. They told me they were fully booked for lunch today, but they could accommodate one person at the counter. Lucky me! I felt a bit bad for arriving more than 20 minutes early... The variety and amount of the appetizers surprised me. The lettuce was plentiful, the cutlet was crispy, the mushroom pate had a great texture, the cream on the canapé was delicious, and the beans had a unique and authentic taste that I couldn't replicate at home. I was satisfied. I could see glimpses of the kitchen through the counter, and I was impressed by how different it was from cooking at home. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was just right. The small shrimp and clams in the pasta didn't have much presence and left a slightly fishy smell, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, for 1100 yen, it was great value for money!

I visited during dinner time on a regular day. The interior of the restaurant had a counter and two tables at the back. They had a course menu, but I chose a la carte. They served each dish individually, which was convenient. The pasta was cooked perfectly! Thank you for the delicious meal!

On weekdays, it is recommended to make a reservation before visiting. The lunch is divided into two sessions, from 12:00 to 13:00. The restaurant is not very spacious, so it seems better to make a reservation before visiting. When I visited, the restaurant was fully booked. The pasta lunch costs 1,000 yen and includes a salad-style appetizer platter, focaccia, and pasta. Cash lunch only offers the 1,000 yen pasta lunch. As others have mentioned in reviews, the volume of the appetizer platter is impressive! Just that alone can fill you up. The pasta had a pork ragu sauce. The pasta was delicious, but the impact of the appetizer platter was greater. You need to vacate your seat within an hour, so you may feel a bit rushed while eating.

I went to Il Beccafico, a popular Italian restaurant located on the second floor of a retro building called Dakota House near Higobashi Bridge. The lunch set for ¥1000 includes a variety of appetizers, focaccia bread, and a daily pasta dish. The portion of the appetizers was surprisingly large, and it could easily cost over ¥1500 for dinner. However, for just ¥1000, you get all of that plus bread and pasta, making it an incredible deal. The owner chef's service was also very polite, and it's no wonder this place is so popular. I was lucky to get a table without a reservation, but I recommend making one in advance. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited for lunch. I was able to make a reservation the night before, but it was probably the last available slot. Three groups without reservations were turned away on the day, so reservations are a must. The menu consisted of an appetizer, bread, and one pasta dish. Today's pasta was a seafood ragu sauce. Tuna?? At 1000 yen, this is definitely a great deal! I was completely satisfied with the meal.

I have always been interested in this place, but it's always full... This time, I went for a late lunch and managed to get a table just as some customers were leaving. I could relax at a spacious table, which was great. The lunch set was only 1000 yen. First, a huge plate of assorted appetizers was brought out. I was amazed by the amount! It made me crave for wine! The chicken cutlet was piping hot and crispy. The pasta with tomato sauce had a great balance of flavors with the sweetness of tuna and onions and the crunchiness of watercress. I was so satisfied and full that I felt like taking a nap right there. It was a great meal. Thank you!
