This restaurant's lunch only consists of mainly pasta. There are a few dishes you can add to your meal such as soup, salads, bread and dessert (for an extra fee). If you don't order pasta, the a la carte price is a bit higher for these dishes. I opted to add the appetizer plate for an extra 400 yen. It was pretty large with a simple olive oil dressed salad, a marinated carrot and suzuki (a type of white fish) salad, cold chicken, and a frirtata. The fish had been coated in flour, sautéed and marinated in a very light vinaigrette. It was a bit salty, but with the carrots and plenty of olive oil, it was a nice cold fish appetizer. The thinly sliced and chilled roast chicken had a nice meaty flavor and was light on the saltiness. The frittata was standard, but at least it used a real tomato sauce and not ketchup.
I ordered the genovese pasta (700yen, 600 yen for the medium size) which was a simple pesto sauce spaghetti topped with grated real Parmesan cheese. It would have been nicer if the pasta had been fresh pasta, and if the sauce was a little less salty, but the basil pesto had an overall nice flavor and the abundance of olive oil once again reigned. Apparently the dinner menu features fresh handmade pasta, so it might be nice to try some day.
