Italian pub, “THE PLACE”

It’s always fun to try and discover new places to go around Osaka’s Fukushima Station, where there are all kinds of different shops and restaurants.
“THE PLACE” is a large Italian pub near the Umeda Sky Building.
Its high ceilings make this stylish pub feel very spacious, and so it was easy to relax away the hours there.
There was great customer service from the young staff and it was a really cozy space.
It’s open from 11:30AM-11:30PM, so you can also come here for lunch or a coffee.
What’s also great is that you can even get coffee to take out!

For lunch, you can choose between two daily specials.
The mixed hors d’oeuvres, bread, and drink was a great buy at ¥1000 (tax included) for the set.
Today’s pasta, “amatriciana”, had a generous helping of tomato sauce, with just the right level of sourness. There were also a thick slices of bacon, vegetables, and mushrooms scattered about the dish. I was very satisfied with this filling pasta.
The coffee after the meal came in a paper cup, so you can take it away with you if you like!
