At first, I was interested in the lunch plate of the day, ginger pork, but when I asked the waiter, he explained it was just shoga-yaki (a staple in Japanese cooking). I'm not sure why an Italian restaurant serves this Japanese dish, but instead I went for the pizza lunch (soup and pizza 980円）. This is the gorgonzola and Italian sausage pizza. The dough was soft and chewy like the Neapolitan pizza. I was pleased with the gorgonzola cheese, as it actually had the strong flavor of blue cheese. Gorgonzola in Japan is often more mild and doesn't scream blue cheese. I just wish there was more sausage on this pizza.
The accompanying soup surprisingly had a lot of vegetables in it; that's a plus in my books (makes up for not having a salad). One complaint I have about this place is that there is a section blocked by a small wall, where if you are sat here, you'll never be helped by the waiter. I had to wait quite a while for service, as did the other customers around me. People were consistently calling more than once for a waiter's attention.
