Kobe, Hyogo, Japan｜Lo Ro

This small 6 seat Italian restaurant creates very simple but wonderful Italian dishes. I love that you can order either a small, medium or large portion for your pasta.

This hole in the wall shop had the best pasta I've ever eaten in my life. Better than all the pasta we had in Italy. We got the anchovy and bolognese to start, and loved them so much, ordered a carbonara too. For 500 yen each, you can afford to try them all, really. The pasta is starchy and chewy, and just had the perfect texture to it. We're seriously thinking of booking another trip back to Kobe just to have this pasta again.

One of the best pasta you could possibly have with 5 dollars. I had the pasta with anchovy sauce which was recommended by the restaurant and the taste was great. You might want to try sizing up with extra 200 yen(?) or even having another pasta if you're hungry. I'd come eat often if I were to live around the city.
