Maebashi, Gunma, Japan｜GRASSA

When we see people queueing outside the restaurant when it is getting ready to start the day, we decided to queue too. If there is a queue, the food should be good. We ordered the carbonara and pork ragu and they were both impressively delicious. It is close to what I had in Italy and the portions was generous. The endless stream of customers made the staff quite busy so they look a bit fumbled but overall service was good. Highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good pasta.

This was quite possibly the best pasta that I've ever eaten. I got the truffle and mushroom pasta and it was absolutely lovely. On top of that, the space is stylish and the staff is friendly; what more could you ask for?

Finally a spot that does pasta in a way that strays away from the norm in Japan. Using carefully selected ingredients and preparing dishes with a unique Japanese-Portland influence, the food here does not disappoint. I’m looking forward to when the business will move into the new building they are having constructed for the restaurant.
