Today's lunch adventure took me to the area around Tsukiji Station. I exited from Exit 2 of the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line Tsukiji Station and headed left towards Shin-ohashi Street. Walking straight towards the signal at Tsukiji 4-chome, I turned right at the first T-junction and after a short walk, I found myself at La Rosetta. I arrived at the restaurant at 12:20 PM on a weekday and was promptly seated at the counter by the hostess. The counter was full, and I couldn't see the situation at the back of the restaurant. I quickly checked the menu, which featured three lunch options with salad and bread for 1,100 yen each. I chose the Spaghetti Bolognese and placed my order. Within two minutes, the salad and bread were served. I started with the colorful and generously portioned salad while waiting for my main dish. After seven minutes, the Spaghetti Bolognese arrived. It was made with a mix of beef and pork, and the pasta was cooked al dente. The meat sauce was rich and flavorful, and the combination of the pasta and sauce was delicious. The meat had a hearty texture and a strong meaty flavor. I enjoyed the dish with the salad and bread, savoring every bite. I finished the meal by using the remaining sauce on the plate to soak up the bread. Overall, I had a satisfying lunch experience at La Rosetta with a hearty salad and delicious Spaghetti Bolognese. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was also at the intersection of Tsukiji 4-chome! The pasta lunches in this area seem to be on a winning streak! Despite encountering full seats at times, I finally made a dash for it on this day! The menu changes daily, right? I opted for a simple meat sauce pasta! Let's dig in! Here we go! Spaghetti al ragu! First up, the salad! A variety of vegetables piled high! The fresh salad with a refreshing dressing is quite pleasing! The simple taste of vinegar and olive oil, with a touch of pepper and salt on the table, adds a nice accent! Quite to my liking! The main pasta dish arrives shortly after! The al dente fedelini with ragu sauce is nicely coated and has a good volume! The flavor and saltiness of a cheese like Pecorino Romano really stimulates the appetite! Of course, the leftover ragu sauce is perfect for dipping the focaccia! The fluffy texture is delightful! Not only does it look good, but the taste is also authentic! I stumbled upon a nice little restaurant! The menu seems to change frequently, so I might just have to check it out next time I pass by the front of the shop! It's Italian for lunch in Tsukiji!

I am a local resident, but I have visited this Italian restaurant the most in the past 2-3 years. It seems to attract a lot of lunch customers, but I have only been there for dinner. The restaurant used to be located in Yutenji with the same name, but it moved to Tsukiji about 4-5 years ago. The advantage of a small restaurant is that you can see the chefs working and their skills, which gives a sense of security. Once you become a regular, it becomes easier to ask for the daily recommendations. The portions may not be suitable for those who prefer large servings, but they seem to use good quality ingredients and always serve visually appealing and delicious dishes. I always start with the green salad. My wife loves the gnocchi here. The meat dishes are cooked just right and reasonably priced. I recently tried the rare cut of venison roast, which was exquisite. They sometimes have dishes like sandfish on the menu or serve iburi-gakko as a complimentary dish. When I asked about their hometown, I found out that they are from a neighboring town in Akita Prefecture, close to Yuzawa where Prime Minister Suga is from.

La Rosetta, located near Tsukiji Station, was a place I had been wanting to visit. The restaurant has a simple exterior that may not immediately give away its identity as a trattoria. Inside, there are about 6 counter seats and a table in the back. The place is quite small, and the counter seats are usually filled whenever I pass by. This time, I finally got the chance to visit and tried the daily pasta lunch special, which was Isaki fish with eggplant and zucchini in olive oil pasta. The meal started with a salad filled with various vegetables, followed by the pasta. Despite the abundance of ingredients like eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes, the pasta was reasonably priced and delicious. One unique aspect of their lunch pasta is that it is made without garlic and uses cheese sparingly. After the pasta is served, they provide small bottles of spicy oil and cheese for diners to add according to their preference. This attention to detail, along with the reasonable prices, makes it a good option for locals looking for a casual lunch spot in the area.

Located across from Tsukiji Elementary School, this small Italian restaurant serves delicious meals. I had the meat sauce spaghetti for lunch. The chef cooks alone in the open kitchen, which is very clean. The attention to detail in the cooking process is evident in the delicious lunch dishes. The salad had a variety of vegetables with different textures and was accompanied by prosciutto. The meat sauce spaghetti had a refined and comforting flavor. It came with cheese and spicy oil, which complemented the dish well. The coffee was also delicious. All of this for 1000 yen including tax is very satisfying.

Anchovy and broccoli spaghetti with basil pesto sauce. The set comes with a salad with lettuce topped with prosciutto. The pasta has a light and refreshing taste with a hint of basil flavor, complemented by the perfect amount of saltiness from the anchovies and the sweetness of the broccoli. Other options include ground meat ragu spaghetti, chicken and mushroom spaghetti, and anchovy and broccoli spaghetti with basil pesto sauce. All dishes are garlic-free, making it suitable for a business lunch. Cheese can be omitted if you're not a fan. Drinks like coffee are brewed upon ordering, so it's best to order them together if you're short on time. It's great that you can add extras for only 100 yen during lunchtime.

Italian restaurant in Tsukiji. Despite being a casual place, the food was stylish and delicious.

This is a lunch review. There are a few seats at the counter and three table seats in the back. The counter has partitions, but the table seats do not. The group next to us was talking very loudly, so I wish there were partitions at the table seats as well. The lunch set salad had a good portion size, with various vegetables and ham. It looked appetizing. However, the dressing was very salty. I couldn't tell if it was homemade, but it didn't taste good with olive oil. I tried my best to eat it, but I don't think I will visit again because of this salad. The pasta was average. The salad was too salty, so I ordered an iced coffee to balance the flavors, but even that wasn't very tasty. It was disappointing.

First visit. The 1000 yen pasta lunch includes a salad with a slice of baguette and a choice of 3 pasta dishes. Drinks are charged separately. The salad, with leafy greens, prosciutto, octopus, tomatoes, and a refreshing dressing, was delicious. I chose a pasta with a meat and oil-based sauce for lunch. However, the first bite was a shock as the pasta was too al dente. It was too hard to chew and left an unpleasant feeling in the back of my teeth, making it difficult to enjoy. It was very disappointing. For those who prefer al dente pasta, it may be perfect. Personally, I think for a bit of a walk, I would still choose P***zzo in Tsukiji. The service and atmosphere of the restaurant were good.

Before serving the pasta, a voluminous salad is provided even though it is a regular portion. You can also add coffee for an additional 100 yen, making the total 1100 yen. ☕️

After finishing a meeting with a client, I had a late lunch near the company. I remembered seeing this place recently and thinking their pasta lunch looked good. So, I decided to visit. ① Exterior, atmosphere, interior: Located about a 7-minute walk from Higashi-Ginza Station. The nearest station is Tsukiji. It's in front of Tsukiji Elementary School, so it's easy to find, but the entrance is a bit set back, so be careful on your first visit. The interior has counter seats facing the kitchen, as well as table and booth seats in the back, making it comfortable for solo diners or groups. It's bright, clean, and popular among female customers. ② Food: The lunch menu offers three pasta options, each served with salad and bread. For my first visit, I chose the "Spaghetti Amatriciana-style" (pork, onions, and tomato sauce). The salad came first, with a variety of vegetables, ham, salami, and a balsamic vinegar dressing. The bread was fluffy with a hint of rosemary. The spaghetti portion was generous and served hot. The tomato sauce was balanced with a mild acidity, bringing out the flavor of the pork. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce coated it well. I finished with a freshly brewed coffee for an additional 100 yen. It was a satisfying meal. ③ Staff: There was a female server handling the front of the house. She was efficient and provided good service. The chef in the kitchen also greeted me with a smile as I left. Overall, the staff's service was good. ④ Value: For a pasta lunch priced at 1,000 yen, including a filling salad and freshly brewed coffee, I thought it was a great deal. The portion size was generous, making it a good value for the price. ⑤ Other: The "homemade custard pudding" available for an additional 300 yen seemed popular among regular customers. I'll try it next time.

On Wednesdays, many shops in Tsukiji are closed, so during lunchtime, the restaurants that are open are crowded with tourists. I was thinking of moving to Higashi-Ginza because I was afraid of missing out on food, but then I stumbled upon this newly opened restaurant! The interior was clean and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, probably because it's not in a very prominent location. The lunch menu was salad + bread and pasta for 900 yen. Adding a drink made it 1000 yen, which is very reasonable. I chose the spaghetti with beef shoulder meat meat sauce for lunch that day. The salad + bread was beautifully presented and delicious! The meat sauce was also very much to my liking. I was completely satisfied with this meal for 1000 yen! (I probably would have spent more if I had gone to Higashi-Ginza). I don't usually come around this area at night, but I will definitely come back next time!

About a month ago in mid-July, I stumbled upon this restaurant while wandering around the area. I believe it used to be a tempura restaurant or something similar. Upon searching online, I found out that it used to be in Yutenji and has since moved to Tsukiji. The food was quite good from what I remember, but the "Watermelon and Ginger Salad" was a bit disappointing. However, when I mentioned that I wanted a light spaghetti aglio e olio, even though it wasn't on the menu, they quickly made it using scallops. Perhaps having access to fresh scallops from Tsukiji market right nearby made it possible. The dish was satisfying. There were no other customers during our visit, but the service was good. I hope this restaurant thrives. It seems like there has been an increase in Italian restaurants in the Tsukiji to Higashi-Ginza area lately.

Delicious and cozy!❣️
