The seating arrangement was well organized, and even in a spacious restaurant, you can sit in a private room-like setting. The interior of the restaurant has a lovely Asian theme. The dishes, including appetizers, salads, pasta, and pizza, were all delicious. We opted for a plan that included a drink bar, and I was surprised by the wide variety of drinks available. I was very satisfied and would like to visit again!

When you feel like eating pasta or risotto, head to the reliable Pisola. Their pasta and risotto dishes are always delicious and it's hard to choose because everything is so good. I want to try new dishes, but I also want to have the ones I've enjoyed before. I love pizza too, but I'm so into pasta and risotto that I rarely order it. Today, I tried the squid ink pasta and the creamy risotto with sea urchin and seafood for the first time. The squid ink pasta was milder and less intense compared to what I've had elsewhere. It might be lacking for those who enjoy the distinct taste of squid ink, but I found it delicious in its own way. The sea urchin risotto was rich and tasty, especially when mixed with the sea urchin on top. The texture of the rice in the risotto was just perfect for me, although it may not be clear from my photos. And my favorite part of dining here is the drink bar. For just 500 yen, you can enjoy a variety of soups, fruit juices, black tea, and coffee. Today, I had mango juice, white peach juice, pineapple juice, black tea, and coffee, and it was a great deal. The only thing missing was melon juice, which I love. Hopefully, they'll have it next time.

It's been a while since I've been to Pisola. The risotto here is cooked al dente and delicious! It's rare to find a place that serves delicious risotto cooked al dente, so I'm grateful. The photos may not do it justice, but the taste is great (lol). I had the sea urchin risotto and squid ink tomato pasta. The drink bar here also offers tasty fruit juices and teas, which I like.

I felt like eating pizza, so I visited Pisola for the first time. When I entered, no one came to greet me. Even when I pressed the call button at the register, no one came. The place was quite empty and the staff didn't seem busy, but after waiting for a while, a staff member finally came to seat me. Once seated, I was told that they didn't have pizza today. What? Shouldn't that have been mentioned when I first arrived? I was in the mood for pizza, but ended up ordering pasta and risotto instead. I wasn't expecting much, but they were surprisingly delicious. Well, considering the somewhat high prices and the fact that there was no salad or anything else included, it was just the main dish, so I guess that's about right.

Today's lunch was at "resort & restaurant PISOLA Uji Ogura store". It is an Italian restaurant located in Ogura, Uji City, along Route 24 in the comprehensive commercial facility Viela Uji Ogura. The restaurant is housed in a large glass building with a Parisian-style monument at the entrance. Inside, there are potted plants and wicker chairs, creating an Asian resort atmosphere. The booth seats separated by curtains also evoke the image of a cottage at a resort. The seasonal menu features Sakura shrimp risotto. They also offer dishes like lobster, and there is an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink option available. I opted for the Select Lunch, which allows you to choose a main dish on weekdays. The mains include risotto, pasta, and my favorite, pizza. You can also have a half and half pizza for an additional fee. The side menu items are 50% off, but I decided to skip them this time. After some contemplation, I settled on the "Select Lunch (Today's quiche + Margherita with plenty of mozzarella cheese + Quattro Formaggi)" for 1813 yen. The premium drink bar offers a wide variety of drinks, including a selection of juices and teas. The soup is also included, and they are all truly premium quality. The restroom has a spacious smoking room, and the kitchen boasts a splendid pizza oven. The quiche was served first, followed by the impressive half and half pizza. The crust was soft and fluffy, with some parts slightly burnt, but overall delicious. The Margherita pizza was loaded with mozzarella cheese and accompanied by habanero sauce, while the Quattro Formaggi was topped with black pepper and honey. Both pizzas were authentic and flavorful. I ended the meal with freshly ground iced coffee. Despite being a family restaurant, PISOLA offers a luxurious dining experience on a weekday afternoon.

First visit - The restaurant looks cute and stylish from the outside, but inside it has a cozy family restaurant vibe. Surprisingly, there weren't many children. In addition to pasta and pizza, there were plenty of other dishes, so it could be a good option for dinner too. The portion sizes are large, so sharing with others might be a good idea. The Gnocchi Fritti is huge! The garlic oil from the Aglio Olio was delicious even when dipped in. The crab pasta, with cream topping added tableside, really got me excited! The restaurant is spacious, with a large parking lot, making it a great choice for families or relaxing with friends. Thank you for the delicious meal! ♡

Italian restaurant. I entered for the first time. The bright and fairly stylish interior was quite crowded with a good number of customers, mostly young people. I was shown to a table and when I looked at the menu, I was initially confused as the menu emphasized sharing dishes with a group, with individual items listed towards the back. Orders were placed by scanning a QR code on a plastic bar with the table number printed on it using a smartphone, which honestly left me quite puzzled. I ordered the bacon and mushroom meat sauce spaghetti (1,099 yen excluding tax). The noodles were slightly thick and had a chewy texture. The meat sauce was not like the ones I used to have at cafes, where the sauce was poured over the pasta, but rather it was mixed with the pasta. There were very few visible meaty elements like bacon and mushrooms, and when the dish was served, it appeared to be just pasta coated with a thick sauce. The taste was better than I expected, but I felt that the dish was losing out on presentation, which is also important in evaluating a dish.

I had been curious about Shabuya on the second floor for a while, and finally decided to visit. I hesitated because it seemed a bit more urban than the ones in my neighborhood, making it feel less casual. It's more authentic than places like Saizeriya or Jolly Pasta, but not quite as high-end as a true Italian restaurant, which left me feeling unsure. The restaurant seems to be aware of this and has a clever strategy in place - offering all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink options for around 3000 yen. I opted for the all-you-can-drink wine for 990 yen. The salad, pizza, risotto, and edamame were all delicious and authentic. Although I wanted to try the pasta, I couldn't eat anymore. Overall, the food was satisfying and the bill for two came out to around 6000 yen. The wine may have been on the cheaper side, but considering it as table wine, it was acceptable. The pizza, in particular, was delicious all the way to the crust. It was a much better experience than the 4500 yen meal I had at Jolly Pasta recently. I'll definitely be coming back here often.

I had lunch here today (#^^#) The interior of the restaurant is spacious and relaxing♪ The table seats in the raised seating area create a semi-private and calm atmosphere☆(๑♡ᴗ♡๑) I enjoyed pasta and pizza for lunch☆ The mentaiko carbonara♪ and bacon and salami pizza♪ were delicious☆ Thank you for the meal(^人^)

The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes such as pasta, pizza, and risotto. They also have a great selection of desserts and the drink bar is top-notch. The place is clean and they provide highchairs for children. They offer a kids menu for children under elementary school age for 199 yen, which is very convenient. It's a popular spot for families, so it can get crowded even on weekdays, making reservations a good idea. The quality of service can vary depending on the staff.

Premium set for 2 people: 3,798 yen Premium drink bar x 2: 440 yen Additional charge for pasta: 100 yen Subtotal: 4,338 yen Consumption tax: 347 yen 10% discount coupon used: -468 yen Total: 4,217 yen (2,108 yen per person) Cold dish: Chef's recommended salad Hot dish: Fried gnocchi with maple sauce Pizza: Margherita Pasta: Shrimp and scallop with fresh tomato Genovese sauce Dessert: Today's dessert plate None of the dishes were exceptionally delicious, but they were decent enough to eat. The atmosphere was nice, and since it was a weekday with only about half the tables occupied, we were able to relax and enjoy a leisurely meal.

I used it for dinner. First of all, when I entered, I was surprised at how stylish and beautiful the interior of the restaurant was. The seats were spacious and in private rooms, which was very nice. I ordered pasta and salad. The salad came out quickly after ordering, was cheap, delicious, and had a good portion! The pasta was made with fresh noodles and cooked perfectly! There was more than enough quantity, and I was satisfied. Although it seems to be a chain restaurant, I really liked it. I would like to come again!

We split the bill between two people. Chef's recommended salad for 490 yen, freshly baked cheddar cheese senbei for 390 yen, young chicken and mushroom with asparagus in gorgonzola cream sauce for 1090 yen, and shrimp and scallop with fresh tomato in Genovese sauce for 1090 yen. Plus two drink bars for 420 yen each, totaling 4212 yen (2106 yen per person). We had to wait for about 10 minutes due to the full house, and there were a few other waiting customers as well. The freshly baked cheddar cheese senbei was delicious. I realized this time that it was the same as the cheese-flavored crispy crackers I enjoyed before. I wanted to eat more, so I ordered it again. I forgot to ask for spaghetti instead of the flat fettuccine noodles for the young chicken and mushroom with asparagus in gorgonzola cream sauce. Spaghetti is definitely better. The sauce for the shrimp and scallop with fresh tomato in Genovese sauce was delicious.

I went to a restaurant that I was interested in for an early dinner. I went there around the evening on a holiday, so there were only a few customers. There were so many menu options that I couldn't decide, so I chose the Premium Set for 3 people for 4980 yen. There were a variety of cold dishes, hot dishes, pizza, pasta or risotto (choose 2 items), and 3 dessert options. I was really impressed by the wide variety of dishes in each category. Premium Set: - Seafood Carpaccio → a perfect appetizer - Whitebait Ajillo → a seasonal dish, quite rare - Bambino Pizza → the pizza crust was really delicious - Ultimate Carbonara → I wanted 10 more shavings of cheese, but it was still delicious - Abalone Risotto → highly recommended, the scent of the sea spreads in your mouth. I also ordered the separately the Low-Temperature Cooked Lamb, which was juicy and tender, and not too strong in flavor. The sauce was on the sweet side. I wanted to eat something I liked, but depending on the dishes chosen in the course, there would be additional charges. I think this restaurant is very convenient and valuable in Uji. I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal!

We visited the restaurant with 4 family members. We usually go for lunch on weekdays, so it was our first time going for lunch on a Sunday. The menu on Sundays was quite confusing. There were buffet plans, set menus, regular menus, and the menu was divided into 3 separate books. Some dishes had additional charges, so it was hard to understand what was included and what was not. After struggling, we decided to order a set menu, but when we called the waiter, they told us to write our order on a paper instead of telling them directly, which was a bit of a hassle. Anyway, we placed our order. The food was supposed to come in the order of salad, meat, pasta, pizza, and dessert, but the meat never arrived, and pasta came after the salad. When we pointed it out, the waiter apologized, but it took quite a while. In the past, when there was an issue with the restaurant, they gave us a 10% off voucher for our next visit, but this time, they didn't offer anything. The taste of the ultimate Bolognese pasta was amazing though, it was my first time trying it! The fact that drinks were included in the all-you-can-drink option was a plus point.
