Excellent food at a smashing price with no compromises on quality - service is slow with just one chef but it’s worth it

Back when I lived nearby, I went there all the time for the spaghetti. Even after moving, I still drop by now and then, changing trains to get there. All the different spaghettis, the salad loaded with olive oil, the homemade bread, and the Italian-style coffee are all really delicious. A small open kitchen with mostly counter seats that's easy to walk into even alone, and prices so reasonable you start worrying whether they can even make a profit at this level of quality. Lunch is salad, homemade bread, your choice of spaghetti, and salad for 1300 yen. Assorted appetizers (photo attached), homemade bread, your choice of spaghetti, and coffee for 2500 yen. I've been coming here for nearly 15 years now.. ※Cash only, closed Mon, Tue, Wed

It's a place in my neighborhood. Maybe because it's run by just one person, it's often closed, but it's a "seriously delicious" place. I hear they bake the bread in-house too. I always end up eating too much. I don't like bacon, so I asked them to leave the bacon off the pizza, and when I went the second time they still remembered, which surprised me! It's one of my favorite places! But it's often closed when I want to go, so you might need to check first (^^;;

A cozy little place with 6 counter seats and 3 table seats. You can watch the staff cooking. Set A comes with salad, bread, and your choice of pasta. The bread is served warm, like it's fresh out of the oven.

Mushroom cream sauce. Loads of different kinds of 🍄. The bread is warm too, and you get it right as it's made. I also picked up a seafood-like flavor—maybe they add some kind of dashi? Deep. I'd like to try the others too.
