060728 031.jpgAnother lunch visit. Ratatouille salad. Spaghetti with pork giblets and tomato stew. Lemon cake. Lunch is 1800yen. Overall taste is alright. The sauce for the spa could be better though. My friend’s choice had an additional charge but tasted better.

2色のパスタ盛り合わせ: うにスパゲッティ と ポルチーニ茸ソースのリゾート。
プチデザート: ガトーショコラ。コーヒーがついて、2100円。
Sea urchin spaghetti and Risotto with Porcini sauce. Gateau chocolate.

What happened is, I couldn’t stop thinking about that sea urchin pasta I had in La Bettola, but the restaurant is just too crowded, so as an alternative I went to the branch restaurant where the apprentice of Ochiai is the chef. I went at 1pm and I still had to wait til 2pm before there was any vacancy available….crazy. But the food was just as good as the original and the environment was actually better. There was no meat dishes in the menu though - maybe we were too late?

A very popular Italian restaurant that you need to wait for months before you can book a table for dinner. So we went for lunch, in which case you go at 10 in the morning, sign up your name, and come back again at 11.30.(We ended up having breakfast in the chocolate cafe while we waited….) Well, I think it lives up to its popularity, being cheap and good-quality, though I think dinner will be even more worth it since a dinner course is only 4000yen. I had grilled anago, sea urchin cream spaghetti, grilled lamb and custard pudding. Everything is delicious!
