Near Yoyogi Park, there is a charming Italian restaurant that truly warms the heart. The atmosphere, food, and service are all welcoming. I was captivated by the 12 varieties of appetizers and visited with a friend. During a weekday lunch, we chose the 3500 yen lunch set while watching people pass by through the window. It was a big hit! This popular restaurant is best to call ahead for a reservation, but there are also counter seats available, so it's possible to enjoy a quick pasta lunch alone by slightly adjusting the timing.
The lunch set offers a choice of 3 courses, and we opted for the appetizer, pasta, main dish, and dessert selection. There are 5 pasta options and a choice between fish or meat for the main dish, beautifully presented for sharing. Isn't it amazing that this weekday lunch set, including all these dishes, is only 3500 yen tax included? First, the 12 varieties of appetizers were meticulously prepared. Fresh vegetables, small sweet potatoes, and warm omelettes were all delicious. It felt like spring, and each dish was so tasty.
The pasta choices included a Genovese with shirasu and tomatoes, and a cream sauce with Parma ham, mushrooms, and spring chrysanthemum. The shirasu intertwined with the thin pasta, creating a delightful Genovese flavor. The cream sauce with mushrooms and chrysanthemum had an adult taste. Both dishes were elegantly shared and served. I couldn't help but smile.
Next was the Ehime hamo cheese bake, with the cheese wrapping the crispy hamo elegantly. The Mount Fuji foothill Mangen pork sauté was sweet and flavorful. The bitterness of the vegetables and the sweet tomatoes added a wonderful balance. I was deeply moved by the dishes prepared with care and love. The service was excellent, and each dish reflected the heart of the chef.
The strawberry cake for dessert had a lovely acidity. Although not flashy, for me, this type of restaurant is truly special. My friend and I both agreed that it was a hit Italian restaurant, and we were both healed and satisfied. I love Carrozzeria. Thank you for the treat!
