The chef's special. Truffle pasta. No need to say more.

There was a restaurant serving delicious lunch pasta in Toranomon! I enjoyed delicious focaccia and wonderful pasta at 『Macelleria La Luna Rossa』 and had a lovely lunch. Walking through Toranomon on Saturday, I discovered an intriguing restaurant resembling a standalone house on a street quieter than usual. While I was looking at the menu, the owner greeted me with a smile and invited me inside before opening time. I ordered the 『A lunch １０００円 (April ２０２１)』 of 『salad & focaccia & your choice of pasta』. There were ５ pasta choices (some with a surcharge), and I chose 『oil-based spaghetti with Hamamatsu no Shizuku (leaf onions), potatoes, and anchovy breadcrumbs』. The salad and focaccia arrived promptly. The salad leaves were large but all tender and fresh, while the focaccia had a pronounced saltiness; both were very delicious. Before long, the main pasta arrived, and it was also extremely delicious. Piping hot in a very hot dish, it had a strong flavor in a good way. Although it was supposed to be oil-based pasta, there was a meltingly creamy component, perhaps from the potatoes or onions, which combined beautifully with the pasta's al dente texture. The anchovy saltiness was also quite pronounced, and although it was lunchtime, I thought it would be even better with an alcoholic drink… The owner runs everything alone, but had a lovely smile and a gentle manner. A family who appeared to be regulars came in later and enjoyed their food with drinks. I could only envy them; next time I'd like to come when I'm able to drink too.

I happened to stop by for lunch, and it was a real jackpot 🎯 If you have the time and budget, please, please get course B or above 🤤 Electronic money isn't accepted. Even the prosciutto salad is on another level 🐷 The 4 kinds of ham each have unique flavors and rich aromas—amazing 🤤 I chose the aged prosciutto and truffle pasta, and that was amazing too. The ham's saltiness and umami combined with the truffle made me so happy 😂 Overall it's a little salty, so it would definitely go with wine. They didn't cut corners on the tiramisu dessert either, and I had a delicious, enjoyable meal. I'm sure individual dishes would satisfy too, but the whole sequence of the course was incredibly satisfying!! I've found a place I absolutely want to visit again 😌

Incredibly delicious authentic Italian food. Strongly seasoned and hearty. You can eat pasta you won't find elsewhere. Saturday lunch is good value for 1700円. Dinner is also very delicious.
