It deserves its name as a pasteria


Area: Sunroad (underground shopping area on the east, Takashimaya side of Nagoya Station)
Restaurant: Pasteria Sapore パステリヤサポーレ
Websitehttp://www.pasta-sapore.com/

Taking a look at the menu, there are so many flavors to choose from, cream, tomato-base, basil sauces etc.  This restaurant actually has pasta other than spaghetti; they also serve dishes made with fresh fettuccine.  It does cost an extra fee when ordering a set lunch that uses fresh pasta, but for the soft, but chewy texture, it may be worth it.

The set lunch (950円) includes pasta of your choice (from the set lunch list, or from the seasonal pastas), a small salad and drink.  I had the squash, shimeji mushroom basil meat sauce fettuccine.  I must admit that I'm not a huge pasta fan (despite all the pasta lunches I've eaten here in Japan because every restaurant has pasta lunches, but that's another story), but this pasta is a thumbs up in my eye.  The seasoning was just right, the cheese, salt and sauce had the right balance.  Basil can be overpowering, but the olive oil accent still came through.
Delicious!
