Sorry, no pictures today. I forgot my camera.
Went in for lunch and walked out quite satisfied. It was good, not great, but I still felt that it was worth the money and that Barbesco makes a nice choice for lunch when wanting something different.
Barbaresco offers a Pizza or Pasta Set Lunch. Pizza lunches come with salad and coffee or tea, and range from 900 yen to 1300 yen. Pasta lunches come with salad, small focaccia bread, and coffee or tea, and range from 900 yen to 1100 yen.
I ordered the Diavola (salami) Pizza Lunch Set and my wife chose the 自家製サルシッチャとひよこ豆のトマトソース スパゲッテッィ. The menu’s translation states that all of the different pastas are “Spaghetti Carbonara with Anchovy & Broccoli,” but my wife’s pasta was meat sauce with garbanzo beans. The pasta and the pizza were both a little salty but still not bad and the serving sizes were suitable. For some unknown reason they served the pasta before they served the salad.
The salad was nice in that none of that cheap, nutrition-less iceberg lettuce was used. Instead, it was comprised of fresh green and red romaine lettuce, red onions in an Italian dressing.
The coffee was good and strong and tasted a little like espresso, which to me was a plus.
As we walked in the restaurant we noticed the tempting desserts in the display case and early on decided on ordering dessert, though it did not come with the set lunch. My wife ordered the banana-walnut tart which was tasty but had a hint of rum, which I don’t care for (I’m picky that way). I went with the gateau chocolate cake which was quite good although it had a mint leaf and some type of cream on top, which I also didn’t appreciate.
It’s a big restaurant and it was quite packed when we walked in. Also they have outdoor seating that I imagine to be quite nice with the weather warming up.
I liked the fact that the lunch set is served until 4 pm, unlike many restaurants that stop at 2:30. The service was good but they didn’t pre-cut the pizza. I don’t know if the cook forgot to cut it or if that’s the way they serve it but we asked for a pizza cutter and the waitress came back and cut up the pizza herself.
If you’re a picky eater I think you’d enjoy Barbaresco!
