Casa Vecchia

This restaurant is truly a gem. My wife and I stumbled upon it by accident and it turned out to be the best Italian meal we've had outside of Italy. The ambiance is perfect and every aspect of dinner was delivered with great attention to detail. The chef studied in Italy for seven years and it was quite apparent in the execution of the food, which surpassed any Italian food we've had in Los Angeles. To make things even better, they had an excellent selection of Italian wines to pair with the food. We can't recommend this restaurant highly enough.

About 2 minutes walk from the station
It's on a road lined with retro shops.

This day is around 11:30 on the weekend
I visited since it opened.

I was welcomed by the friendly owner.
It appears that he is operating by himself.

Each table is decorated with flowers
The interior of the store has a calming nostalgic feel.

Order a set of bread, salad, pasta, and cafe for 1,800 yen excluding tax.

The pasta was extremely delicious and I was able to finish it off with the bread without leaving any sauce behind.

There was only one other group at this time, but the food was served at the same speed as the meal, so we were able to enjoy it slowly.

The bill is 2530 yen per person including water fee (payment in cash only)
This restaurant is recommended for those who want to have a leisurely meal in Yoyogi Uehara.

[Memo]
This time, I visited for lunch.

I tend to focus too much on Mr. Funayo next door,
A hidden Italian restaurant that you might have missed! !

A really friendly and kind chef.
Even in the heat of the day, he even came outside the store to say ``Please come again!'' until the final farewell!
*Maybe I had time on a weekday lol

There are three types of lunch sets that change daily.
On this day, I ate beef tendon and mushrooms braised in red wine.

The noodles are so chewy that you can almost feel the core, and the beef tendon is extremely delicious!
This is perfect when you have pasta boiled in red wine.
The scallops and asparagus have a slightly salty taste that young people love.

You can eat calmly in the atmosphere of an old folk house,
it's recommended.

Thank you for the meal.
