Googlemapで行き当たりばったりで伺いました。開店して間もなくほぼ満席でした。ランチデザート付きで¥1400円。牛蒡のポタージュ、生パスタはもちもちで、パンは焼きたてかな?温かく、めちゃくちゃ美味しい!全て美味しいです!男性の私でも満足出来る量でした。こじんまりして雰囲気も良く、また伺いたいお店です。

お店の雰囲気が可愛くて好きです。 以前はパスタでしたが今は、美味しいハンバーガーが食べられます。バンズも手作りでお店で焼いてます。自分へのご褒美ランチにぴったりです。

近くに用事があって、調べた所美味しそうだったので前もって予約してランチに行きました! サラダのドレッシングも美味しくて、スープも美味しかったし、パンも温かくて、パスタも美味しかったです。 思わず食べすぎてしまいました! また、中津に行く時は行きたいです! 美味しい料理をありがとうございました! 連れて行った母も喜んでもらえて良かったです。

The inconspicuous location was kind of hard to find. We missed the narrow road entrance twice. Once we got in, we were disappointed that they only served pastas for lunch. French pasta, we wondered. Turned out the pastas were exceptionally delicious and hot, presented beautifully and one of the most tasty pasta dishes we experienced. The salad was fresh, the cream soup was frothy and rich, the ice cream/yuzu cake with a rich cup of coffee concluded our lunch in Usa city. The bill was so reasonable, too. We highly recommend this nice eatery run by a nice couple.

美味しい生パスタがいただけます。私は生パスタがあまり好きではない(太くて食感柔すぎなイメージ)のですが、こちらの生パスタは美味しくいただけます。 1000円ちょっとのランチにプラス400円くらいでドリンク&デザートが付きますが、スイーツも美味しいお店なのでデザート付きを強くオススメします。 サラダ→スープ→パスタ→デザートの合間にひと口サイズの焼きたてパンが何個か運ばれて来ます。 サラダのドレッシングが酸味のパンチが効いていて美味しいです。 スープはとても優しい味付けで毎回楽しみにしています。 パスタは生パスタにしてはしっかりしたモチモチの歯ごたえで、生パスタが苦手な私も美味しくいただけます。 そして毎度美味しいデザートで〆てくださるのでとても幸せな気持ちで帰れます。 店内は男の一人メシには難易度高めのオシャレ空間。清掃も行き届いていて気持ちよく食事ができます。あと、出てくる食器が全てピカピカ!オーナー夫妻の人柄がうかがえます。

I had the 800 yen lunch special and was pleasantly surprised with the food. The waitress was nice enough to set up a private room with a door since we had a toddler that loves to roam around. It made it much easier for us to enjoy our meal since they made a space for our child to stay occupied while we ate. Good food. Good value. Family friendly.

生パスタがいただけるお店です。 サラダ、スープ、パスタ、パン、ドリンクが付いて1,200円とコスパもいいです パンは一度お代わりをいただけます。 アツアツで来るので美味しいです。 私は良く食べるほうなので、本当はもう一回お代わり欲しいのですか、恥ずかしくて聞けません。

飲屋街の通りから、少し入ったところにある小さな店舗。 店内はお洒落で、清潔。 席数は少なめ。 パスタランチをいただきましたが、料理は優しい味付け。 パスタは地元産小麦を使用した生パスタ。コシ強めで美味しい。 サラダ、自家製パンが付く。 自家製パンは数種類あるが、バジルが好みでした。 ボリュームは女性なら丁度良いが、成人男性には物足りないかもしれません。 女性のお客さんが多いお店。 パスタランチ¥800〜 女子会、デートにオススメ。
