This is an Italian restaurant located in Wada, Kawasaki District.
Outside, Italian flags are displayed. The windows on the road side are fully glassed like sunrooms, allowing sunlight to enter.
The interior of the restaurant, although it has been in operation for some time, has a warm and cozy feel to it. The decorations are also very elaborate; there’s even a porcelain wall clock. Since this is their 45th anniversary, flowers have been given as gifts and are displayed throughout the store, creating a truly elegant atmosphere.
The lunch menu offers five types of pasta lunches starting at 1,080 yen, four types of pizza lunches at 1,180 yen, and a daily changing selection of ironplate lunches at 1,290 yen. All dishes come with a side dish.

■鉄板ランチ（1,290円）
The appetizers consist of a combination of three items, accompanied by a salad.
・バジルのクリームチーズスプレッド
It is made by mixing basil paste with cream cheese. It has a subtle basil flavor and tastes delicious. It makes you want to eat bread, doesn’t it?
・라타투이유
This is a traditional Italian dish that features only vegetables, lacking any meat flavor. However, it is well-prepared and delicious.
・Pate de Camembert
The paté of pork is served with ground mustard. The flavor of the meat is very strong, and it also contains gelatinous substances, making it delicious. It’s really tasty, so I really want to eat more. The only drawback is that the portion is quite small.
The salad is characterized by a dressing with a strong sour taste. It adds a rich flavor to the side dishes, which is quite impressive.
・メイン『ハンバーグ』
This day's menu features hamburgers. There is some confusion about whether the hamburgers served on iron grills should be considered Italian cuisine. However, it's common in Kawasaki to serve Western-style dishes as Italian or French cuisine, and many people enjoy this approach. Therefore, it's better not to discuss this point further. If you want to experience proper Italian cuisine, you should visit at night.
From its somewhat uneven shape, it can be determined that this is a handmade dish. From the center, the juices of the meat overflow. The sauce is also in a state of boiling and is served with it.
Before this dish appeared, the sound of a kitchen timer could be heard several times from the kitchen. It seemed that they carefully measured the time to prepare the dish. The potatoes served with it are not frozen ones; they were cooked on-site in the restaurant. The iron skillet is also still hot. It can be inferred that they measured the time specifically for this preparation.
Due to the overflowing juices, the meat is extremely juicy. The sauce is a demiglace, but it has been infused with cumin, making it stand out from ordinary fast-food restaurants.
Of course, the meticulousness of the cooking, which includes attention to even the side dishes, is probably the secret to their popularity.
・ライス
When ordering iron plate lunch, the main dish automatically becomes rice. I believe they can also change it to bread if requested. Having rice as the main dish in an Italian restaurant seems awkward, but since the main course is hamburger and it's served on an iron plate, it's definitely delicious. Following the川崎 style is more satisfying. This hamburger pairs well with rice; even having about twice as much as rice is completely fine.
・커피
Each cup is carefully poured down the waterfall, it seems. It's truly bitter yet delicious.
■ピッツァランチ（1,180円）
The appetizers are the same as those offered at the iron-platen lunch.
When ordering pizza, bread is provided. This is bread from Costco. It’s affordable and delicious, so it’s a smart choice to use it in the restaurant.
The pizza has a texture similar to homemade dough. The portions are slightly uneven, but the thinner parts are baked to a crispy perfection, making it delicious. The cheese used is a typical creamy cheese, and the generous amount used makes it excellent. I ordered an anchovy-pizza, which is a simple pizza with only anchovies as ingredients. However, this pizza is truly delicious, as it exudes a strong flavor of anchovy along with a salty taste that spreads throughout the mouth.
■ランチデザート（350円）『ティラミス』
At the base, espresso is used to give it a bitter taste, creating a slightly sophisticated flavor.
Rather than being an Italian restaurant, it can be described as a Western food restaurant. It’s a comprehensive establishment that focuses on Western cuisine, with the word "steak" prominently featured in its evening menu, which definitely piques interest. This is a very sophisticated and profound establishment. As for wines, this restaurant in this area offers an extensive selection, and the variety is well-balanced.
And, it is indeed true that the taste of this restaurant is delicious. Additionally, as a place highly favored by the local community, the demand and supply are perfectly balanced, making it an excellent establishment.
Especially on sunny days, sitting by the window during lunch is extremely comfortable and makes you feel great. Eating a hearty lunch served on iron plates in such a pleasant environment makes your stomach full, and you also feel sleepy. This is a wonderful place where you can truly experience this good feeling.
