La Coccinella

An exceptional 1,000 yen pasta lunch prepared by the former head chef of that famous Osaka restaurant.

[What I received]
Pasta lunch (shrimp and broccoli tomato cream) 1000 yen
*Choose from 3 types of daily pasta.

[Gourmet record]
11 minutes walk from Omotesando Station (14 minutes from Shibuya Station)🚶
A chef with experience as head chef at Osaka's famous Italian restaurants `Ponte Vecchio'' and `Alborto Shizuoka'' is now in Omotesando.
And this restaurant is also a talented restaurant that has been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand!

◎Interior
It feels like a small hidden Italian restaurant.
Omotesando Madam is very popular during weekday lunchtimes!
We were able to share a table and eat without lining up.
It can be used for a wide variety of purposes, such as dates, girls' gatherings, and solo meals.

◎Cooking
I was surprised at how the 1,000 yen pasta lunch came with salad, bread, and dessert.
The pasta will stay piping hot and steamy until you finish eating!
Even when it was piping hot, the noodles did not stretch and I thoroughly enjoyed the chewy noodles ❤
The tomato cream sauce was slightly salty and fresh.
Next time I would like to enjoy dinner with a glass of wine!

Friday dinner for 2 people. I made a reservation from Tabelog a few weeks in advance. A la carte format.

There are many favorite restaurants on this street next to Aoyama University. There are many amazing restaurants such as French Laturee, classic French La Blanche, and Sicilian cuisine Donciccio. I'm jealous of Seigaku students that there are so many great stores near the school building (but now that I think about it, I've never seen any students in the stores).

Even though I was an hour late, the staff at the store were very kind, and I thought I could look forward to this store (sorry for being late).

The store is full and lively. It got even more heated because there was a group of people. This place also has an all-you-can-drink plan, so it can be used for drinking parties.

It's helpful because the menu is small and easy to choose from. I checked Tabelog in advance to see what looked delicious and ordered based on my mood.

This time I asked for the following
・Fruit of walleye milt and autumn vegetables
・Florentine-style tripe stew with tomato
・Aqua pazza with natural sea bream and plenty of vegetables
・Peperoncino-style spaghetti with lightly smoked swordfish
・Hokkaido sea urchin and tomato cream spaghetti
・Rich tiramisu and caramel gelato
・Piedmontese style cinnamon panna cotta

Everything was so delicious! The desserts are especially great.

The service is courteous and does not do anything unnecessary. The atmosphere is that of a small, homely trattoria.

Overall, Italian food is tight where it's tight and loose where it's loose. I think it's a very nice store that can be used for a wide variety of purposes, such as going with friends after shopping in Aoyama, or making reservations when you want to have a little fun.

Start with pate de campagne (country-style pate), assorted prosciutto, and Kagoshima bamboo shoots and firefly squid frites.
It was my first time eating firefly squid fritto, and the taste was exactly as I expected, in a good way.

The spring deer tagliata from Hokkaido is soft without any bitterness, yet has a strong dental flavor.

The final dish is pasta with fresh whitebait and mullet roe.
Of course, this is also a delicious dish.

The menu changes with the seasons and is delicious.
It's within walking distance from Shibuya if you try hard enough, so if you want to eat delicious Italian food nearby, we recommend it.

Visited around the end of December. The layout has tables lined up in a long, narrow restaurant that resembles an eel bed. The prices are average compared to the high-end Italian restaurants in the area, and there are no brands of wine, only white, red, and sparkling. The food is delicious.
