Just right ❤️ Italian prix fixe dinner. The fact that everyone is so indecisive is proof of how appealing the menu is. Definitely a hit with women!! 5 minutes from Ningyocho Station, 3 minutes from Suitengu-mae Station, along a street one block back from the main road. The exterior has a lovely atmosphere and was easy to find. I thought the restaurant was on the first floor, but it's actually on the second floor. The first floor sells fresh pasta, prosciutto, olive oil, and other ingredients used in the restaurant. We went up the spiral staircase to the second floor... The space is bright and warm, with pink chairs, white tablecloths, and cream-colored walls, creating a cute and feminine atmosphere. There were also private rooms. This time, four of us had a gourmet girls' night out after a long time. ◆ Prix fixe course ¥6,600 【Amuse】 【Anti pasto】 【Primo Piatto】 【Second Piatto】 【Dolce】 【Final drink】 ■ 15-year aged Taiwanese premium oolong tea by Madame Tzen (Additional charge depending on the menu) We wanted to chat and couldn't decide on the menu, so it took a while (laughs). That's how appealing the menu is. 7 appetizers 5 pasta dishes 4 main courses 5 desserts The appetizers were particularly difficult to choose from. Drinks ◆ 3-wine pairing ¥4,400 (Champagne for a toast is ¥1,870, so it's a great deal ❤️) We could choose freely, but we told the staff our preferences and had their recommendations. Champagne → White → Red Bottles were not shown f(^ー^;) ～My chosen menu～ ・Freshly sliced French prosciutto, melon & buffalo mozzarella cheese ・Basil and Parmesan cheese arrabbiata spaghetti ・Wagyu sirloin charcoal-grilled bistecca (+¥2,200) ・Domestic blueberry tart and milk gelato Only I had the pairing (laughs). They were accommodating with these kinds of detailed requests, which was very appreciated. Now... First, the amuse, a small cup of cold corn espresso. Sweet, sweet, and delicious. Then, the appetizer I struggled with (laughs). I thought the prosciutto was a specialty, so I chose prosciutto and my favorite melon. The prosciutto was quite a lot and thick. The melon was perfectly ripe and sweet, and there was melon fruit tree soup at the bottom of the plate. The chewy cheese wasn't very assertive, and the sweetness and saltiness created a wonderfully balanced appetizer. It paired perfectly with the champagne ❤️ The pasta was as expected. It was fresh pasta, but I actually liked that it didn't taste like fresh pasta. It had quite a bit of chili pepper and was spicy and delicious. Now, now, the meat I was looking forward to ❤️ It was served, and wow!ヾ(o≧∀≦o)ﾉﾞ It looked delicious. When I cut into it, the meat, which was cooked to perfection, released a rich, savory juice. One bite... wow, this is incredibly delicious ✨️✨️✨️ The flavor of the meat was so good, and the simple salt and wasabi were the perfect match. Adding ¥2,200 to the ¥6,600 course might be a splurge, but it was definitely worth it. I recommend it. Everyone loved the parfaits for dessert. I had melon for the appetizer, and I had peaches for lunch, so I chose the blueberry tart (laughs). It was not too sweet. And then, the tea served at the end of the course... 【Final drink】 15-year aged Taiwanese premium oolong tea by Madame Tzen This was incredibly delicious. It was being sold for around ¥3,000 at the shop downstairs, so I wish I had bought some now (laughs). It was so good, I definitely want to go back. The atmosphere is perfect for girls' nights out, dates, or birthday parties. Thank you for the meal.

Located just a short distance from Ningyocho and a mere two-minute walk from Suitengu-mae Station, this Italian restaurant is conveniently situated and has recently gained a reputation for excellence. This time, I was treated to a celebratory dinner with my girlfriends! The restaurant features a first floor dedicated to selling ingredients, while the second floor houses the dining hall, accessible via a spiral staircase. It's a truly charming establishment with a touch of hidden-away charm. We made a reservation for the prix fixe course at ¥6,600 (including tax) through Tabelog. Here's what we enjoyed (refer to the prix fixe menu below): ◆ Cold Espresso with Corn ◆ Peach and Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese in a Cold Peach Soup ◆ Pork Loin Ragout with Greens and Parmesan Cheese ◆ Grilled Scallops with Crispy Cheese Breadcrumbs and Edamame Sauce ◆ Melon Parfait (+¥660) ◆ 15-Year Aged Taiwanese Oolong Tea by Madame Tzen The meal began with a rich and intensely sweet cold corn soup. The appetizer featured juicy, sweet peaches and mozzarella cheese in a refreshing peach soup. The rich soup was a real hit! Then, we were served freshly baked, piping hot bread. The buttery brioche was a favorite, and we all devoured it with generous amounts of olive oil. The pasta that followed featured tender, slow-cooked pork and a generous amount of cheese, making for a satisfying dish. The scallops I chose for my main course were plump and juicy, with four pieces in total. The rich edamame sauce added a delightful accent. Since it was a girls' night out, a friend ordered the steak, which I was lucky enough to try. The quality of the meat was exceptional, and it was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. While it cost an additional ¥2,200, I believe it's worth the splurge. For dessert, I opted for the melon parfait, while my friends chose the peach parfait. Both were brimming with fresh, juicy fruit, making them the perfect, elegant finale for our girls' night out and a fitting celebration (for me!). Incidentally, the 15-year aged Taiwanese tea served at the end had an exquisite aroma and a complex flavor profile. We all loved it, but when we checked the price of the tea leaves at the sales corner on the first floor, we were surprised by the cost and decided against purchasing it. While it's an Italian restaurant, the Taiwanese tea added a unique and memorable touch to the experience. Overall, the dishes were characterized by high-quality ingredients and meticulous preparation. The dining hall on the second floor is absolutely lovely. The restaurant also has private rooms, making it an excellent choice for girls' nights out, business dinners, and other occasions. The basic prix fixe course at ¥6,600 felt quite reasonable.

Feeling Italian today! So I went to this stylish Italian restaurant in my neighborhood that I'd been wanting to try for a while. It's located in "Ningyocho," a town known for its abundance of renowned restaurants across various genres, and offers Italian cuisine made with carefully selected ingredients and masterful techniques at reasonable prices. It's a popular spot. The name of the restaurant, Vinoteca Fiore, means "wine shop" (Vinoteca) and "flower" (Fiore). As the name suggests, they have a wide selection of wines, and there are flowers throughout the restaurant. One of the unique features of this restaurant is that you can choose everything from the amuse-bouche to the dessert. You can create your own full course based on your mood and preferences. Also, the portions of each dish are quite generous, so even men can leave feeling full. I'm glad I finally got to visit.
