I arrived when lunch service started at 11時. It gets busy around noon, so arriving at about this time seems smoother if you do not have a reservation. The first surprise was a colorful plate scattered with flowers. The plating was extremely detailed, making it a very visually satisfying dish. The soup in a mug also had a gentle, comforting flavor that put me at ease. The pizza struck a perfect balance between the fragrant crust and toppings. You could clearly taste the quality of the ingredients, setting it apart from inexpensive places. Overall, the prices seemed a little high, but considering the food quality and calm atmosphere inside, I think they are worthwhile. It is just right for a special meal or when you want to take your time.

A restaurant on a horticultural farmer's property, created through a fusion of farmer × architect × Italian cuisine. When it first opened, even lunch was course-only and felt a bit intimidating, but now they offer à la carte dishes and you can visit it as a cafe. As you would expect from a former horticultural farm, the spacious grounds contain many different plants, with a terrace and a wonderful atmosphere. There is plenty of greenery inside too, and the natural interior is lovely. The parking lot is large and there are many seats. However, I still feel operations struggle when it gets busy. The à la carte cafe menu has no pasta and mainly focuses on vegetables and pizza. The stone-oven pizza is delicious, as you would expect from being handled by the Italian restaurant フィリッポ in 石神井. The crust is thick but light to eat. Seasonal vegetables, fruit, and seafood are used generously. Margherita 2200円 Quattro formaggi with タネニハ honey + strawberries 3000円 The unusual quattro formaggi topped with strawberries was delicious. It is a little expensive for casual Italian, but seems reasonable given the resort-like setting. It feels like it will keep developing, so I look forward to what comes next.

The building and space were wonderful, and the food was delicious too. It was busy because of an event that day, but that made the inexperienced staff service stand out so much that I wondered whether they had opened only a few days earlier. There were 3〜4 floor staff, which seemed sufficient for the space. After being shown to our seats, we were told about a child's high chair, “They are being used at the serving table, so there are none left. Is a regular adult chair okay?” But I could see one at the back, and when I pointed it out, they said, “I'll bring it over.” There was no apology, which left me feeling a little uneasy. Also, when I raised my hand to order and made eye contact, I was ignored. When I called another staff member, they said, “Please wait a moment,” while an older staff member beside them stood with their hands behind their back looking at the courtyard. Huh? Are you pretending not to notice? I got the impression the staff were not coordinating very well. Despite the building and space being so attractive, there was not even 1 truly capable staff member that day. I would have liked a little more guidance and consideration for customers. Even without someone capable present, having at least a basic service manual would be good. I think it would make a big difference. If the service were brought up to standard too, I think the value of the experience here would increase. Consideration is also part of the design that creates a space. As someone who supports this place, I would be happy if they designed not just the exterior, but the staff's service as well.

I visited for lunch. It seemed reservations were required, but when I called that day to check, luckily they said I could come in for lunch, so I went. The parking lot is spacious and easy to park in. Since I arrived a little late, some menu items had sold out, but the pizza I ordered was freshly baked and delicious🍕 The salad plate is very generous, so I recommend going hungry. Personally, I was so satisfied with the variety on the salad plate that I would like to return◎ I ordered pudding separately for dessert. Its smooth, melting texture and sweet caramel were delicious too! There is also a booth outside selling flowers, so gardening enthusiasts should definitely stop by💐

The sign is not especially noticeable, so even though イオン and ロピア are very close, some people might not notice the place. It is such a lovely setting that you wonder, “Where am I?” There are lots of houseplants too, and it was perfect for enjoying a leisurely lunch or cafe visit♡
