“ 日曜の女子会ランチに利用させていただきました。 お冷が、アイスティーで美味しかったです。 ピッチャーでテーブルに置いてくれたので、有難かったです。 ランチはBセットを注文。 写真のサラダとハムのオードブル+選べるパスタ+デザート+コーヒーにしました。 悪魔のパスタは、そんなに辛くなくて、美味しかったです。大盛無料だったので、少し取り分けてシェアしました。 お食事には関係ないですが、お手洗いの、トイレットペーパーが、可愛い柄付きでオシャレでした。 レジ横に吊るしてある生ハムと、タイルの石窯が、オブジェっぽくてオシャレでした。 生ハムも食べてみたいし、石窯ピザも食べてみたい!と思いました。 人気のお店のようで、お昼過ぎには、ウェイティングの方が、外で並んでおられたので、女子会は、早々に退散しました。土日は、長居出来ませんので、あしからず。 ”
“ Affordable Italian restaurant in Ibaraki. Located near JR Ibaraki make it easier to find. It has various menu, with some of it written in english. The foods also delicious, with many choice that youncan pick. ”
“ 土曜日12時過ぎでしたが比較的空いていてゆっくりできました。店員さんも感じが良かったです。夜に行きたいです。 ”
“ The roast beef was really bland but the magharita and marinara pizza was just okay. The carbonara was the only good thing on the menu. However seemed like they forgot about our order. For the price it was a little not pleasant ”
“ 平日お昼どきに伺いました。人気店のようで予約無しで3組ほど待ちました。 活気溢れる店内、キッズスペースがあり元気なお子さんの声が響いているのでゆっくり静かにお食事できる感じではありません。 平麺を選んで悪魔のパスタはとても美味しかったです。麺の量も選べます。レギュラー150gは多いかなと思いましたが完食できました。 ごちそうさまでした。 ”
“ Good place ”
“ UPDATE: 2024-05-12 So disappointed with dinner service! I made a reservation 2 weeks ago for Mother's Day because my wife really enjoys Vansan. We waited for over an hour for appetizers that never came. The table next to us came 15 minutes after us, and they got their bottle of champagne AND meals all before my wife even got her glass of wine. That is UNACCEPTABLE at any restaurant! This was supposed to be a nice Mother's Day dinner at one of our favorite places but we left when the staff said they don't know when our food will come. My wife is a type-1 diabetic and we specifically ordered appetizers because of her blood sugar. My mother-in-law tried to be nice, but after 2 times of asking when some food might come, she had to speak to the manager. I did not appreciate the "すみません" tone of voice from the manager, but I understand that is a cultural response. The manager allowed us to leave without paying for anything (just as our first COLD appetizer was delivered). My wife was disapponted, and my mother-in-law is currently relieving her stress with her friend on the phone. The staff ruined my wife's first Mother's Day, and I don't think we will return. It's sad because we go there almost every week for lunch. If any manager reads this, I would appreciate an apology to the two most important women in my life! OLD REVIEW: We come here a lot for lunch because it is great for young kids and I like pizza. Today there was an all-female staff and it was amazing to see! The pizza is so close to being great. Maybe the crust is too thick? Or not cooked enough? But I eat it every time! My wife loves their pasta and it is very もちもち and I see it is made fresh. ”
