Phew~I’ve been to this place so many times that the staff definitely recognise me. Quality is amazing and the lunch menu changes weekly and always have at least 3 choices available(tomato sauce, olive oil sauce and cream sauce) so you just never get tired. 1000yen lunch is available from Mon to Sat – busy on weekdays but usually pretty empty on Sat. I always sit at the counter but there are tables too. The portion isn’t so big but it always tastes so good that it is satisfying enough for me. +300yen for large portion.
Menu: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Bentornato! Maggio

Epic post! Cassata looks like nougat (?), but i assume it’s white sponge cake-ish texture instead of firm and chewy like nougat. I like how they pair those roots with Penne, almost the same shape doesn’t it.
Oh? Not that epic….just accumulated workday lunches. I’ve been going the same place over and over these days….now I have published it, I can move on to new lunch spots!
This cassata is actually ice-cream with nuts and dried fruits; the best amongst all the desserts I tried.
It looks like you almost tried their entire menu!
oops, the above is me…
If there’s a good Japanese pasta place near my work I would go almost everyday too 🙁
Well the lunch menu changes every week so I never have to order the same thing. You can really tell that the chef is sincere in making a 1000yen pasta lunch as good as possible.
i can tell it’s your “canteen”!
Haha, the white plastic tray does remind you of school cafeteria~~
