Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan｜Taverna Sakurai（タベルナ サクライ）

First visit to an Italian restaurant. The store has 5 counter seats and table seats for 4 people and 2 people. There are 4 parking lots in front of the store. The parking lot next to the shop is for apartment residents, so please be careful not to make a mistake. This time I ordered A lunch 1400 yen. Salad, bread, favorite pasta (blue crab tomato cream spaghetti), drink, and dolce are included. The pasta is exquisite with a tomato cream sauce that brings out the umami of the blue crab and the sourness of the tomato. In addition to several kinds of vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, lettuce, beans, and mizuna, there are variations such as the crunchy texture of chips made by deep-frying sweet potato slices. The bread is a crisp toasted baguette with a little olive oil. A simple baguette is best for rich pasta. Dolce is banana catalana. You can enjoy the crispy texture of the fragrantly roasted caramel on the surface and the rich flavor of the melty banana. The lighting inside the store is dimmed, so you can enjoy your meal in a calm atmosphere.

This is an Italian restaurant located on the opposite side of Bell Mall from Utsunomiya Station and across the road from Bell Sakura no Yu. It's a small restaurant with about 6 seats, some for 4 people and some for 2 people, so I think it's about 20 people. I visited around 7pm on a Friday night on a weekend, and the parking lot was full as there were only 4 spaces available. The atmosphere is calm, so it's a good place to relax and enjoy your meal while chatting. Due to the location, you can't drink it if you drive there, so I decided to combine pasta or pizza with the dinner set, and it included coffee, tea, and dolce, so I was quite satisfied. The pizza has a thin crust but feels large. I didn't feel that the pasta was thin or thick, so I think it was average. I think it was tomato pasta with blue crab, and it was delicious.

Appetizers include warm minestrone and chicken liver pate. Spaghetti is hot. Banana pudding is also delicious for dessert. There are 4 parking lots in front of the store, but if it is full, you can use the Bell Mall parking lot. . B lunch 1,700 yen
