[Scene] Date/Friends/Girls' Night Out/Family/Solo During my visit at the end of January, I went to my favorite casual Italian restaurant that recently changed their dinner menu to a course meal. You can choose your favorite dishes from the menu to create your own course, which I found delightful. Chef Matsumoto's dishes are all delicious, from appetizers to desserts, making me very happy. I recommend making a reservation in advance for dinner time! Online reservations are also available.

I visited a restaurant where I used to work, and it had been a while. For lunch, there were several types of pasta available, and on this day, I ordered the scallop and eggplant aglio e olio (with karasumi topping). There were plenty of scallops and eggplants, and the combination of karasumi, oil, and pasta was very delicious. The salad dressing was also tasty, and I was very satisfied with my visit after a long time!

I went for lunch and found the atmosphere to be sophisticated and stylish, with a bright and welcoming ambiance. The kitchen operated smoothly, with a relaxed pace that allowed me to enjoy my meal without feeling rushed. The restaurant was not crowded, so my salad was quickly followed by the main course. The timing of water refills was perfect, thanks to the attentive waitress. Overall, the service was excellent and I felt very comfortable. I ordered a pasta dish described as "spicy cream" which was a bit pricey but incredibly delicious. It was generously portioned with lots of ingredients and a flavorful sauce. The dish looked filling, but the unexpected spiciness was a pleasant surprise. My only suggestion would be to maybe remove any hard bits like shrimp shells to avoid any unexpected crunches.

Blog "Tokyu Line, Foodie Adventures" - https://asante.blog/ I visited this place for lunch on a weekday to have some pasta. Although it's a bit of a distance from Gotanda Station, it's an area with many delicious restaurants. I arrived around 11:30 AM when the restaurant had just opened. There was already one customer sitting at the counter, so I also took a seat there. They offer pasta lunches and pasta sets for lunch, and I chose the Pasta Lunch B - Melanzane (Tomato-based) for 1200 yen. Although I was also interested in the A - Cacio e Pepe, I went with B because it had eggplant, which I love. Shortly after ordering, a salad arrived. It had fresh vegetables, tasty dressing, and looked beautiful. The restaurant itself had a stylish and trendy atmosphere, which seemed popular with women. Then, they served homemade focaccia and the main pasta dish. The tomato sauce had chunks of eggplant and a decent amount of bacon, topped with plenty of grated cheese. The combination of these ingredients was undoubtedly delicious, especially as the cheese melted and made the sauce even more flavorful. Having pasta for lunch really lifted my spirits. I'm curious to visit this place for dinner as well. Thank you for the delicious meal.

An Italian restaurant located a little away from Gotanda Station near Osaki Post Office. The female staff members are friendly and cheerful. Surprisingly, there are mostly solo male customers, but the portions are decent, and they even offer a large serving option. Lunch payment is cash only. They offer three types of pasta lunch sets ranging from 1000 to 1200 yen, all served with focaccia and salad. Other course options are also available. The shrimp and arugula pasta with marinara sauce for 1200 yen (tax included) was generously topped with shrimp and a good amount of pasta. A lunch drink can be added for 200 yen, and I ordered an espresso, which had a familiar taste as they use Lavazza. To celebrate their Xth anniversary, I tried my luck with a draw and won a homemade walnut bread. It was delicious!

I ordered the high-quality pasta course at the natural and stylish restaurant, Armonia, in Gotanda. The course includes appetizers, pasta, homemade focaccia, dessert, and a drink for ¥1,800. The appetizer platter consisted of salad, prosciutto, carpaccio, and carrot rapé, all of which were delicious. I chose the basil cream sauce pasta, which was surprisingly generous with ingredients and had a rich and juicy sauce that coated the noodles perfectly. The dessert was tiramisu with a unique twist of using whole wheat biscuits in the base, giving it a crunchy texture. The open kitchen and bright, natural atmosphere of the restaurant were inviting, and the chef and staff were all lovely. It's definitely a place I would like to visit again.

I've been curious about this restaurant for a while! I visited for lunch and ordered the daily pasta set, which was the Shirasu Aglio e Olio. First, I had the salad set with a dressing made from butter and nuts, along with focaccia. The pasta had a strong garlic flavor with plenty of oil, which was tasty but heavier than I expected. It felt a bit too rich overall, maybe because of my current condition, and I thought it would be just right with a glass of wine (*・～・*)? It was delicious, but for a lunch option, it felt a bit heavy. It might be that I'm not used to oil-based pasta. I'd like to try a few more times to see if it suits me better!

☆Gotanda Station☆ Italian, pasta, lunch. Visited "h:armonia" for the first time for lunch. They offer a choice of regular menu, daily specials, or courses, but since it was my first time, I decided to go with the recommended daily special. It came with pasta, salad, and bread, a great deal and very filling. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I went to have lunch at "h:armonia" located behind the Yudetaro Nishi-Gotanda main store in Gotanda. After temperature check and hand sanitizing, I sat at the counter seat. The pasta of the day was with shirasu. The salad dressing was made with yellow beet dressing from Yokosuka. It seems they use ingredients from Kanagawa prefecture. The cork-made dolls were cute. Thank you for the meal. <Infection prevention list> Hand sanitizer: ✔ Ventilation: ✔ Social distancing: ✔ Partitions, seat spacing Staff masks: ✔ Temperature check at entry: Yes

The second visit was at the request of my companion. They wanted to taste the pasta again despite having a stomach ache last time. We chose the daily special "Red Onion and Anchovy Aglio Olio" and "Salsiccia and Turnip Cream Pasta". The set salad of the day was "Red Kuri Squash with Homemade Dressing Salad", with a pink dressing that looked vibrant and fresh vegetables. The focaccia was warm and comforting as always. The daily pasta was different than expected, with plenty of red onions and a small amount of anchovies. The pasta was hot and high quality, but the amount of oil was a bit overwhelming. The cream pasta was light with a hint of basil, balanced by the turnips. It was a solid regular menu item.

It's a restaurant that doesn't feel like Gotanda in a good way. The dishes were impressive, both in appearance and taste. We tried three different daily pasta dishes at night, and they kindly confirmed that we were sharing before bringing two plates neatly divided. The cookie-like appetizer was a bit unclear in taste, but the bread was delicious. Of course, the pasta was also delicious. The prices are a bit high, around 2000 yen, but I think it's worth it for the attentive explanations about the dishes and wine, as well as the thoughtful service. However, there are many affordable restaurants in Gotanda, and this place is located in a quiet area away from the bustling streets, which gives off a somewhat dark and scary impression.

Yesterday, on the way back from lunch, I passed by this restaurant and my companion mentioned that she was treated kindly when she was pregnant, so she wanted to visit again. The restaurant is located next to the famous soup curry shop "Udon," but for some reason it doesn't stand out. I was the first customer to arrive at around 11:30. The staff consisted of one male and two female employees, and they provided friendly service. The interior was simple with a wooden design, creating a calming atmosphere. For lunch, you can choose from three types of pasta. I chose the various mushroom Aglio e Olio (oil-based pasta) on that day, while my companion chose the Arrabbiata. We were served a refreshing salad with a tangy dressing, followed by hot focaccia that was a bit salty but delicious. We were told that we could have seconds. When we finished the salad and focaccia, our pasta dishes arrived. The mushroom Aglio e Olio had a variety of mushrooms cooked in oil without being overpowering, and the spaghetti-like noodles had a nice wheat aroma. The Arrabbiata was light but had a spicy kick that hit you later, making it a perfect summer pasta. It was a bit disappointing that they only accepted cash for payment, but I was surprised to find a nearby place where you could easily enjoy pasta.

Gotanda is a gourmet battleground with a variety of options like pasta lunches, yakiniku, steak, ramen, etc. There are many delicious restaurants in the area. In this competitive area, an Italian restaurant specializing in pasta lunches has opened. The interior is relatively spacious and provides a nice dining atmosphere. I can't remember the pasta I had there, but I recall that it was delicious. The bread was a bit disappointing though. They seem to focus on using Kanagawa ingredients and creating dishes based on Northern Italian cuisine. I wonder if the chef is from Kanagawa... There are plenty of delicious pasta restaurants to choose from in the area, so you can compare and explore different options. Many places offer set meals, so I recommend trying a variety of them to discover the best flavors. Thank you for the meal.

I finally had the chance to visit this place that caught my eye when I passed by recently. The lunch menu is limited, with three pasta options to choose from. I chose the Zucchini Aglio e Olio! It comes with a salad and bread. The staff is a bit short-handed, so it takes a while for the food to come out, but that's understandable. When the pasta finally arrived, I was pleasantly surprised! I was curious about what Aglio e Olio was, and it turned out to be a light oil-based pasta. The seasoning might be a bit strong for some, but I enjoyed it all. It felt a bit lacking in ingredients, though. The price for this dish is 900 yen. There are two other options: Eggplant and Bacon in Tomato Sauce for 1000 yen, and another one for 1200 yen, but I can't remember what it was (laughs). Honestly, spending over 1000 yen on lunch every day is tough.

Tuesday afternoon was an exciting time at Almonia in Nishi-Gotanda. Upon entering the clean and pleasant restaurant, there was no trace of an ammonia smell. After checking the menu, I decided to order the "Spaghetti with Zucchini and Lemon Tomato Sauce" for 1000 yen. As I waited, a salad was served, followed by the eagerly awaited lemon. The lemon flavor was subtle but delicious. After the meal, I ordered an icy drink for 200 yen and enjoyed it. If I have the chance next time, I would like to use the restroom and confirm that nice atmosphere.

[Location] 5 minutes walk from Gotanda Station [Date/Time] May 14, 2019 (Monday) 13:05, no line [Dishes/Prices] Brown Mushroom Cacio e Pepe - 900 yen Iced Coffee - 200 yen [Impression] A new Italian restaurant in Gotanda Station, known for using ingredients from Kanagawa. The spacious interior with a large counter is impressive. I ordered the Brown Mushroom Cacio e Pepe. It was a decently delicious pasta, but it had a bit too much pepper and was slightly spicy.

For lunch in Gotanda that day, I went to the Italian restaurant next to the udon shop. It seemed to have opened in April and I only noticed it in May. The interior was spacious and cozy, with plenty of counter seats. It felt like you could enjoy your meal without worrying about the people around you even if you came alone. This Italian restaurant uses Kanagawa ingredients and is based on Northern Italian cuisine. For lunch, you can choose from 3 types of pasta. I chose the "Ingen Bean Arrabbiata for 900 yen". First, there was a salad. Crispy leafy greens with pink dressing, maybe with beets. Then the main dish, the arrabbiata. The spicy tomato sauce with plenty of ingen beans was crunchy and delicious. I also looked at the dinner menu, and it seems they have handmade pasta. I was intrigued by dishes like Agnolotti and Cacio e Pepe, which seemed quite authentic. Lunch felt somewhat safe due to time and price constraints, but dinner seemed more exciting. I would like to drop by for dinner next time.

Trattoria that opened in April in Gotanda. It's about a 5-minute walk from both Gotanda Station and Osaki Hirokoji Station, I think? The lunch menu ranges from 900 yen to 3 types of pasta. Bread and salad come as a set. I ordered the Miura cabbage and shirasu aglio e olio. First, the salad and bread are brought out. The dressing for the salad is pink in color. Maybe it's beet? The pasta was al dente and the oil sauce had a strong garlic flavor with a good balance of saltiness.

I visited the restaurant on the day it opened on the 15th. For lunch, they offer three types of pasta, salad, and bread. I chose the pasta with Miura cabbage and shirasu in aglio e olio style, and the pasta with turnips in a unique sauce, as well as the pasta with various types of mushrooms and cheese. I wanted to try the tomato sauce, so I chose the turnip pasta. You can choose the size of the pasta as small, medium, or large, with the large size costing an additional 100 yen. The bread they serve is delicate in texture. The salad dressing made with beets is vibrant and has a mild acidity that makes it easy to eat. The turnip pasta was served, and the turnips were sweet! The flavor was gentle and not too salty. I wish the portion of pasta was a bit bigger if you choose medium, as it seemed a bit small and might not be enough for men. The owner is from Miura, which is why they use many ingredients from the Miura Peninsula. As a fan of Miura, I am pleased with this. Drinks are not included in the meal and cost an additional 200 yen. Takeout is also available. Since it's still a new opening, I plan to visit a few more times. The seating was spacious and comfortable.
