Shimotsuma, Ibaraki, Japan｜Porco Rosso

A famous Italian restaurant that has been rooted in Shimotsuma for a long time. Homemade spinach dressing, pot-roasted pizza, homemade bread and desserts (I recommend the pumpkin pudding).I still can't decide what to order. A store you'll want to visit again and again. Thank you for the meal.

I came here for lunch on a Saturday for the first time in decades. It's a stylish store in a log house, and many elderly couples visit, so it seems to be loved by people of all ages. I ordered a pair set for two people, which was not available at the time. They offer course meals at this price. The prosciutto was chewy and very tasty. The bread that came with it was also delicious. For the salad dressing, you can choose from Japanese style or spinach dressing, so I chose the spinach dressing without hesitation. This is a very delicious dressing. It seems that you can also purchase it in the store. You can choose soup or garlic toast, and this time I chose soup, but I would also like to try garlic toast, so I would like to come back again. The main dish, the tomato sauce doria, and the pasta are both very delicious. I couldn't pass up anything on the menu, so I had a hard time deciding what to order. For the pair set for 2 people, you can choose 2 of your favorite dishes from pasta, doria, and gratin, so we recommend ordering different dishes and letting the two of you choose. For dessert, I chose pumpkin pudding and tiramisu. The tiramisu is definitely delicious, but the pumpkin pudding is the most popular, rich and delicious. Please stop by for a couple's date.

I heard that Shimotsuma's pasta shop is here, so I went there. Pasta with seafood and diced potatoes and pumpkin pudding were delicious! The hot coffee that comes with the set is free to refill, so we recommend ordering it as a dessert.
