I went to try the pasta lunch at Italian restaurant “CUCINA RIFUKA”, which opened on July 3 along Yamate Kansen near JR Ashiya Station.
“CUCINA RIFUKA” Pasta Lunch

“Pasta Lunch” 1,760 yen (tax included)
This lunch set comes with pasta, soup, bread, salad, and a soft drink. I ordered the daily pasta, “Amatriciana with oregano flavor”.

↑ The pleasantly firm noodles are coated in a sauce where you can really taste the simple sweetness of tomato and onion, along with the flavors of garlic and oregano.

↑ The soup that day was “vichyssoise,” a chilled potato potage!

↑ It was thick and rich, but not heavy, so it went down smoothly.

↑ The fresh salad was nicely filling too! Even the plate was chilled!

↑ You definitely can’t skip scooping up the leftover pasta sauce with the bread at the end!

↑ For my after-meal drink, I chose iced milk tea! I enjoyed it slowly, and that wrapped up a lovely meal.
“CUCINA RIFUKA” Menu

↑ In addition to the pasta lunch, you can also order main dish sets, kids’ lunch sets, and pasta à la carte.
“CUCINA RIFUKA” Restaurant Information

↑ It’s a restaurant in a renovated house along Yamate Kansen.

↑ Go down the passageway (ramp) on the right, enter the door on the left at the back, then turn left to reach the first-floor seating area.
A restaurant in a standalone house might seem a little intimidating, but this is a casual place that welcomes families with children!
