Odawara, Kanagawa, Japan｜Osteria il cielo

We had lunch here during our trip. The appetizer, pasta, and dolce were all delicious, and the staff were very kind, so I had a pleasant time☺️ (I failed to take a picture of the dolce💦 I received a catalana)

One of the restaurants in Odawara that you can't go wrong with. The chef's thoughts, commitment, and passion are clearly reflected in the food and wine, and you can tell that he is paying close attention to the way the food is served and the care he takes. I think it's amazing how well he understands the explanation of the wine that was just served, and how attentive he is to pour the glass as soon as it opens. If you've been operating at the same location for several years, you'll inevitably develop your own ``pace,'' but you can overcome that and get a sense of how serious he is about his customers. You can also feel the chef's enthusiasm and thoughts in every detail, such as changing the knife and fork for each dish. The food itself had a good taste, and when I visited with my husband and wife, we were sure to enjoy the food. I felt that they had a first-class spirit in how they divided the work into small portions and showed great care and attention without me having to say anything. If I were to point out the shortcomings of this restaurant, I would say that it is difficult to get recognized (you can't tell at a glance that it looks like an Italian restaurant from the outside) and that it lacks liveliness because the chef is the only one in charge. It's a matter of putting it away. However, for me, there is something wonderful here that I can't recommend, so please give it a try. Lastly, ➕1 point for the attitude of offering drinks to customers who came after business hours without making an unpleasant face.

In Odawara, you can enjoy the same high-quality food you would find at a restaurant in Tokyo. It has a casual atmosphere and is easy to use. You can feel the chef's dedication. Lunch is voluminous and the cost performance is very good.
