Today, I tried Il Cantinori for the first time. We started drinking around 8:00 PM, toasting with white and red wine from decanters, each getting 250ml. We enjoyed popular dishes like Western-style negitoro, onion gratin soup, a generous salad, Western-style pilaf, and beef taliata. The portions and flavors were satisfying, and we were so full that we couldn't even order pasta or pizza. The only downside was that the atmosphere could be a bit brighter and the staff could be more friendly. Overall, it was a great dining experience. Thank you!

I ordered the TWO EAT lunch set and curry lunch. Today's lunch options were roasted beef tongue, chicken and celery tomato sauce pasta, and minced meat curry. The salad bar and soup bar are self-service and can be used once. With a drink included, the price of 1000 yen is very cost-effective. The taste is good, but the portion size is amazing. It was quite a challenge to finish, but I am very satisfied.

There is a salad bar and soup, and a drink included for this price, which I think is quite a bargain. However, the meat was a bit burnt and not very tasty. But considering the good location and low price, I think it's totally worth it!

During dinner time, I went out to buy some business tools and ended up being late. I decided to have a meal and some drinks while I was out. I stumbled upon this place by chance, and it had the same name as a well-known restaurant in the city. Despite some minor difficulties, the cost performance was good, and the food was delicious. I still have some menu items that I want to try, so I definitely plan on revisiting. I started off with a glass of white wine served in a decanter and ordered a few appetizers and bread. The bread was served with a delicious olive oil sauce with a mysterious black substance in the middle that turned out to be a balsamic-like sweet, sour, and savory sauce. It was a fantastic idea, and I would love to recreate it. The edamame was unexpectedly voluminous and had a delicious garlic flavor, which led me to finish it all. Next, the seafood grill arrived, and it was definitely a good choice with its crispy coating and high-quality ingredients. The octopus that followed was not as flavorful as it looked, with a slightly tangy and light taste, perfect for pairing with drinks. I also couldn't resist ordering gelato. The waitress was efficient and friendly, but I wish I could have seen her smile more. Overall, it was a great experience, and I realized that I would need to visit several times to conquer the extensive menu.

At Hotel Rissolity, I mistakenly thought it was a branch of Cantina in Iidabashi, Tokyo based on the name, but it turns out to be a different place. The original Cantina, which split from Cantina, is located in Sasazuka, and due to a naming dispute, it became Il Cantina. This was my first time visiting Cantina or Il Cantina in Tokyo. The lunch menu offers five daily specials as well as a selection of pasta from the grand menu, providing a wide variety of options. I chose the seaweed and squid pasta, which reminded me of a tapas-style spaghetti. The lunch also includes a salad buffet, featuring the famous Il Cantina dressing that was even more delicious than rumored—I loved it so much that I bought some to take home. On my way out, I noticed that the vending machine at the entrance was selling the dressing.

I used it for lunch. They also accept online reservations, which is convenient. The restaurant is spacious, with a good distance between tables, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The lunch set includes salad, soup, and a drink for 1,000 yen, which is quite cost-effective. There is also a terrace seat, making it easy to use.

I used it for lunchtime. The restaurant was crowded because the Lilac Festival is also being held at Odori Park. From today's lunch menu, I had the Summer Vegetable Caponata Gratin. The cheese, macaroni, bell peppers, eggplant, zucchini, all mixed with hot white sauce, had a perfect combination and was delicious.

On the south side of Ohori Park, there is a shop with a striking red storefront. It gets quite busy during lunchtime, with many businessmen having discussions. During lunch, you can help yourself to salad and soup. You can even have a mountain of salad if you like. It's fun to have a mountain of broccoli, isn't it? I tried a unique pasta dish called "peperoncino with minced meat and leeks." I could taste the sweetness of the minced meat, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I think it's a great place to go for lunch with friends or colleagues.

I went to an Italian restaurant on the 1st floor of Hotel Trinity during lunchtime and had to wait for about 10 minutes before being seated. They offer pasta and gratin lunch sets with a choice of bread or rice, a drink, and access to a salad buffet and soup for only 1,000 yen, which is a great deal. I definitely want to come back soon.

The hotel I stayed at for the first time in Hokkaido happened to have Il Cantinori attached to it. I had always wanted to visit this place after trying their dressing before. I used it for breakfast, and the salad was especially delicious. I wanted to buy the dressing to take home, but it needs to be refrigerated, so I had to resist. I will definitely go back again.

I visited an Italian restaurant on the first floor of Hotel Trinity, located on the north side of Daito Park, a little after 12 o'clock on a weekday. The interior was much larger than I had imagined, and even though I was dining alone, I was guided to a spacious 4-person booth without feeling guilty. There were quite a few other solo diners as well. The lunch menu was priced at 1,000 yen, and the variety of options was impressive. I ordered the Hamburg Steak with Butter Sauce made with cherry shrimp and turnips. As a lover of butter sauce, I couldn't resist ordering it. The salad and soup were self-service and one-time servings, which made the operation smooth even with many customers. The soup was full of ingredients and the salad was fresh and delicious. The dressing options were plentiful. Before long, the Hamburg Steak with Butter Sauce arrived, and the flavor of the butter was delightful. It was delicious! The rice went well with it. The combination of the cherry shrimp flavor and the butter sauce was even more delicious, and it paired perfectly with the salad and French fries on the side. The portion size was quite generous, and I was satisfied after finishing it. It was so delicious! Thank you for the meal! It's a perfect place for a casual Italian lunch in the city. I wonder if I should try the pasta next time? They also have fresh pasta available.

The food is cost-effective in terms of ingredients, seasoning, and portion size. There is a wide variety of wines available, and you can enjoy house wine at a reasonable price with a carafe option. The terrace seats facing Odori Park were covered in snow, but it seems like a pleasant spot once spring arrives.

Located in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, on a day with heavy snow ❄️ I was invited by colleagues to come here‍♂️ Of course, I have a sister in Sapporo too! Midnight Spaghetti ¥2,080 Forest Salad ¥1,840 Western-style Negitoro ¥980 Hot Pride Potato ¥800 Beef Taliata ¥2,100 Quattro Formaggi ¥2,200 Pirate Pizza ¥2,150 Margherita ¥1,800 I love Italian food, so I was delighted with the lineup. The specialty here, Midnight Spaghetti, is a tomato-based pasta with a spicy kick that I could get addicted to. And then, the other specialty, Forest Salad, with an incredibly delicious dressing. Even people who don't like vegetables can enjoy it. My sister in Sapporo, who doesn't like vegetables (grass), even said so, haha. The Western-style Negitoro is a dish that will make you feel like a girl. It's delicious when put on a baguette. The potato is crispy and perfect for a chopstick break. The Beef Taliata was the main dish for today. Meat just makes people happy, right? The more you chew, the more you can taste the meat, it's the best. And now, onto the three pizzas. The Quattro Formaggi is full of cheese, it tastes bad for your body ☝︎ I'm complimenting it, haha. And then, the Pirate Pizza‍☠️ A seafood pizza with plenty of clams. If you eat this, you'll definitely quit being a pirate. Lastly, the Margherita, a classic taste to finish off the meal. This time, we went with the large size since there were six of us, but you can choose the size depending on the dish, which is very convenient. The variety of food, drinks, and menu options made me excited just by looking at them. It's a restaurant that can be used for various occasions. Thank you for the meal.

It was just past 11:30 and the restaurant was almost full. I used to frequent the shop in Sendai, so it felt nostalgic to visit again. Last time, I was surprised by how different the dressing tasted. This time, I came back with a sense of revenge as I had some business nearby. I piled my salad high and dug in! The dressing was easier to eat than before, which was a relief. It was delicious. I struggled to choose a pasta and ended up trying mentaiko for the first time. The noodles were a bit clumpy, but the flavor was really good. I plan to come here occasionally. Thank you for the meal!

I went to "iL-CHIANTI" at Hotel Trinity Sapporo, located on the first floor facing Odori Park, after attending a monthly ancient document lecture. The lunch menu included pasta with minced meat and zucchini in cream sauce for 1000 yen, with salad, soup, and a drink. I added a red wine for an extra 200 yen. The salad was all-you-can-eat, and I enjoyed the crispiness of the fresh vegetables. The pasta was flavorful and filling, with generous portions of zucchini and minced meat in a creamy sauce. I also enjoyed the option to have alcohol with my meal at an additional cost. Overall, it was a reasonable and satisfying Italian lunch experience. Total cost was 1200 yen for a 50-minute stay.

I used it for a dining consultation on the price. Well, it was assumed that we would be drinking, so it was a light feeling... Oh no, the chef's enthusiasm is not light. Salmon carpaccio, prosciutto, and soft shell crab tempura. They can be eaten quickly, yet they have a strong deliciousness. Pizza. Consistently delicious. The spicy oil is light, so it doesn't interfere with the taste of the pizza. Pasta... what was it again? In any case, it was rich and delicious. Grilled Japanese beef steak and vegetables. The Japanese beef was perfectly cooked and delicious. I take my hat off to the grilled vegetables... when was the last time I felt that vegetables were so delicious... I can't remember. Well, I think I had about 5-6 beers... no, maybe more. I was very satisfied and full. Thank you, chef.

I went for the salad, or rather for the dressing. The dressing was so delicious that I could almost drink it. Even a child who doesn't eat vegetables was enjoying it. The rice croquette with stretchy cheese was also delicious. The lunch set with salad is around 1000 yen, so I think it's really worth it. The only disappointing part was the red wine I had, it tasted like it had been opened for 2-3 days with a hint of bitterness and sourness. The draft beer was excellent though. I will definitely go back for the salad!

I had Italian for lunch at the beginning of November. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a building facing Sapporo Odori. From the outside, I thought it was a pizza place, but they also serve other Italian dishes. We were greeted by a handsome European man when we entered just before 12 o'clock. We sat at a table for two near the entrance and checked the menu. The lunch menu for the day included cutlets, pasta, gratin, curry, and hamburg steak. There were also many pizza options, but they were a bit pricey. I chose the fresh pasta with eggplant and beef ragu sauce over tagliatelle (950 yen). It came with salad, soup, and a drink. The salad was self-service, and I opted for hot coffee after the meal. The restaurant was quite popular, with a mix of young and old customers, mostly young men, and a few older men like myself. The salad had a variety of vegetables and croutons with a soy-based dressing. The vegetable consomme soup was average. The pasta arrived about 20 minutes after ordering. It was delicious with chewy tagliatelle noodles and a flavorful eggplant and beef ragu sauce. The portion was a bit small, so I recommend getting an extra serving if possible. The bread served was crispy on the outside. I ate carefully to avoid splashing the sauce and managed to finish the meal. The coffee at the end was rich and flavorful. Overall, it was a tasty lunch experience. I would have loved to have a glass of red wine, but it was a weekday, so I refrained. Thank you for the meal.

It's been 10 years, but there's a well-known restaurant in Kanto called Il Cantuccio. I finally visited on this day, and it's an Italian restaurant on the first floor of a hotel. The entrance looks like it could be in Omotesando. The inside of the restaurant is very Italian! The staff, who seem to be of British descent, speak fluent Japanese. I ordered the following: Hamburger Steak with truffle cream sauce for 1000 yen, which comes with salad, soup, bread, and a drink; and Pork and Spinach in tomato sauce for 950 yen, which comes with salad, soup, rice, and a drink. The salad is all-you-can-eat (laughs) and you can pile on your favorite vegetables. The smell of truffle is amazing. The sauces are just so extraordinary. The lunch was quite delicious. The pasta was also tasty. The tomato sauce and spinach were a great combination. This restaurant offers a good lunch experience at a reasonable price in Kanto. I really enjoyed it and will definitely come back. The staff even had a good sense of humor when I accidentally handed them a 1 yen coin instead of a 100 yen coin at the payment. It was a good laugh.

I went for lunch and was unsure where to go, but decided to visit here as I had been wanting to try it for a while. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had a good amount of volume, very delicious. The salad from the buffet on the first floor was also tasty, with a dressing that had a sophisticated flavor. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch.
