Itami, Hyogo, Japan｜パティオ

I've been coming here to eat since I was little. I've been going here for about 20 years, and I love it so much that I've never met a better pasta dish than this restaurant. The quantity is larger than other stores, and the price is very low. The atmosphere inside the store is unique, and the owner is a quiet person, but all in all, it's a very nice store.

There was a lunch course starting from 3,000 yen for two people, and we had duck loin and margherita, plus risotto for an additional fee. It may look ordinary, but the portions were large and it was very delicious. The risotto had more various ingredients than I expected, and the flavor of the mushrooms came out well. (Risotto seems to be out of stock depending on the day) It was a bit difficult to enter the store as it was a bit dark and the owner didn't come out often, but he was surprisingly friendly so I thought I'd go again.

The taste of the pasta is exquisite. It might be a bit of an unusual shop. "Where is it?" is the fun of going there. The air conditioner is often not working very well because they are saving money on utility bills. Even in winter, you can't take off your coat. We recommend visiting during the nice seasons of spring and autumn. When there are no customers, the lights are not on, so the store is pitch black, but we are open for business. Muster up your courage and push the door open. The shopkeeper answers from the darkness. It's a somewhat unique restaurant, but the taste of the pasta is quite good. It's definitely worth a visit.
