Ota, Gunma, Japan｜Ristorante Moderato リストランテ モデラート

Great food and a nice atmosphere. Came here shortly after moving to the area looking for a nice date night with my wife, and was not disappointed. Gnocchi are delicious.

I ordered a course meal for dinner. The waiter is polite and nice. The chef seems to be taciturn, but his skills are good. Especially oysters and stocks? The peperoncino was delicious, especially the pasta was chewy and the best. I want to eat other pasta too. The atmosphere of the store and the notes written on the blackboard are also good.

I visited him several times for lunch. We highly recommend the set course, which includes salad, appetizer, pasta, and dolce. First of all, the salad is huge! happy! I think that the appetizers are not the kind of items that make you say, "Here we go, here we go!", but rather, there are many carefully prepared and slightly unusual items. I'm not very good at it, but this Gorgonzola with honey is delicious. The amount of pasta is voluminous, and there are a lot of ingredients. The taste is complex but addictive, setting it apart from other pasta shops in town. Pasta used to be a style where you could freely combine a wide variety of noodles and sauces, but now it seems to be a fixed style. However, there were nearly 20 types of pasta with various sauces available. I think the desserts are also quite elaborate. The main course was delicious, of course, but the chocolate-covered berries, which looked like they were an accompaniment in the photo, were even more delicious. I want to eat about 5 of these... I think this Italian food is extremely satisfying both in terms of stomach and cost. Also, although this is not directly related to the food, I was very impressed by the thoroughness with which the staff disinfected the area around the tables (in a good way, of course).
