I found this shop in the food floor of Takashimaya in Futako Tamagawa. They were offering discounts close to half price on some items, even though it was close to closing time. One item I bought was Carbonata (432 yen), which had a discount of 200 yen. I was curious about what Carbonata was, and when I looked it up, it said it was beef red wine stew. However, it only had vegetables - paprika, eggplant, and something else I couldn't quite identify. It had a slightly tangy flavor and was well-seasoned. It was surprisingly delicious.

ANTONIO'S DELI is located in Takashimaya Department Store, in the basement floor. They have a dining area as well. This is a deli shop of the well-established Italian restaurant ANTONIO'S, with over 70 years of history. You can buy pasta here! I happened to pass by during the discounted hours in the evening and bought a salad that caught my eye. It was a vegetable salad with plenty of cheese and tomatoes. I forgot the price, but it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

North Italy-style pasta with bacon and avocado sauce at this restaurant is delicious!

I always eat lunch at Antonio's pasta restaurant, and sometimes I have a sudden craving for it. Today, I tried the pasta with prosciutto and mushroom rosé sauce instead of the usual basil, and it was delicious!

This is my favorite Italian deli shop. I often buy their small but delicious pizzas when I see them. I saw a spaghetti with squid ink sauce, which I immediately bought for squid ink lovers. I also bought a spaghetti alle vongole for my daughter who loves clams. What I bought: - Spaghetti with squid ink sauce (600 yen + tax) - Spaghetti alle vongole (760 yen + tax) - Margherita pizza (1,200 yen + tax) - Salami pizza (1,200 yen + tax) It may be a bit pricey, but everything was delicious and had a consistent quality. The spaghetti with squid ink sauce tasted just as I expected, and I want to try making it myself.

Antonio's Deli is my favorite deli in Takashimaya. I always make sure to stop by during the discounted evening hours, but I would still buy at regular price because the taste is worth it. My go-to item is the Chicken Diavola. The garlic-infused tender chicken is incredibly delicious and goes well with bread or rice. Recently, I also bought Beef Cheek Stew, Margherita with Basil Sauce, Eggplant Amatriciana, and Mushroom and Bacon Spaghetti. I enjoyed them over two days. Among them, the Eggplant Amatriciana was particularly delicious with its well-balanced seasoning. The Margherita with Basil Sauce was crispy and flavorful, while the Beef Cheek Stew had a rich taste. The Mushroom and Bacon Spaghetti was also tasty when reheated. Overall, everything was delicious. I have been buying various items from Antonio's Deli for years, and they have never disappointed me. However, I once made a mistake of mixing up the dishes in a dinner set I purchased. The calzone is also delicious, but I only buy it occasionally due to the price. I remember they used to sell huge meatballs, but I wonder if they still have them. I would love to try them again.

I had a craving for it after a long time, so I bought Antonio's Deli's calzone. It's like a half-moon-shaped pizza with cheese and other ingredients inside, making it easy to eat. Ever since Antonio's Deli opened at Tamagawa Takashimaya, it has become a staple in our house. I also like their cold Capellini, which is only available in the summer. I wonder why they don't offer it in the winter... Today, I chose the anchovy calzone, and purposely ate it without heating it up. The saltiness of the anchovy was delicious! The cheese was firm, but it wasn't too overwhelming. It might be good for a bento box too. I also chose the Genovese pasta and the porcini mushroom tomato cream sauce. The porcini mushroom sauce had a strong aroma and tasted delicious. The cream was not too heavy, and the flavor was elegant. However, the Genovese pasta was a bit disappointing. It was too oily, and the Genovese flavor and aroma were not very pronounced. I expected it to be more fragrant since the color was mostly green. Overall, the calzone from Antonio's Deli was my personal favorite.

The parking lot at Takashimaya was packed, so I had to park at the valet parking lot, which recently increased from 1000 yen to 1500 yen. It was crowded because of a Ralph Lauren sale. I quickly bought the ingredients I needed and picked out a birthday present for my mother. We found a seat at the only available eat-in corner and ordered Antonio's lasagna and porcini pasta. The lasagna was rich with creamy cheese, which may be too hot for those with sensitive taste buds, but luckily I can handle spicy food. By the time my wife finished her pasta, I was done with my lasagna. We hurried back to the valet and our purchases were already delivered.

I used the eat-in service during lunchtime. - Porcini mushroom tomato cream pasta around 920 yen - Bacon & cheese calzone around 450 yen I chose items from the showcase in plastic packs, had them reheated and served on a plate, and then enjoyed them in the eat-in area before paying at the end. The pasta is priced similarly to a typical pasta lunch set that a salaryman would order on a weekday. However, this is Antonio's. I have visited the store in Minami Aoyama before, a longstanding Italian restaurant with stable flavors and quite a respectable price. Here, you can enjoy casual dining with the convenience of a deli, and the simplicity of eating from a plate in the eat-in area softens the modesty of the deli. I remember that Antonio's porcini mushroom pasta was delicious, so I hesitated between that and the risotto. The aroma was nice. Cream pasta can often lead to indigestion, but this one was delicious without being heavy or overwhelming. However, sometimes I feel that the noodles at places like Antonio's or authentic Italian restaurants are slightly softer. It may be a matter of personal preference. I actually wanted to try the Margherita calzone, but it was not available, so I settled for the bacon & cheese option. However, about 10 minutes after I started eating in the eat-in area, the Margherita calzone was ready, making me feel like I made a mistake. The taste was simply delicious. It was served on a plate, drizzled with olive oil, and cut into pieces for easy eating with a knife and fork. However, I felt that it might have been more enjoyable to eat it by hand instead of cutting it up. Both dishes had a gentle and consistent deliciousness without any strong flavors.

On December 25th, I went shopping with my family for a year-end party. Since I wasn't feeling the Christmas spirit, we decided to have a year-end party with Christmas-like food on December 25th. It's more like a "thank you for your hard work this year" kind of celebration. I'm grateful to the wise predecessors who have accepted this tradition with open arms. In a way, Christ is just one of the many gods, and Santa Claus is like a youkai in the world of Shigeru Mizuki. I sometimes wonder if the constant conflicts in monotheistic countries arise from a lack of tolerance.

I was looking for a gift and came here. I thought the combination of olive oil and pasta sauce was good, but they said they only had it on display and not in stock. I couldn't come to the store to pick it up for a few days, so I was hesitating. They immediately offered to order it for me and said it would arrive in 1 or 2 days. They even mentioned that they could ship it directly from the factory to the recipient. I wanted to include a letter with the gift, so I asked if it was possible with direct shipping. They said if I had the letter with me, they could send it to the factory to include it in the package before shipping. I have looked at various shops, including online stores, but this is the first time I have encountered a place that is willing to include a letter from the factory. Even though it is a well-known store, I was impressed by their attentive service.
