La SOFFITTA

Very slow service. Waiters were ok. Food was good. Kitchens let down the team with very slow turnaround of meals. We waited 40 minutes between starters and pizza. Atmosphere good.

Called in for lunch whilst wasting some time before a flight. Just what needed. Good pizza with thin base, decent draft beer, reasonable wine by the glass and helpful waiter with good English. Recommended if you in the area - just off “Spanish Street” on way to Parco shop.

The first time I went there, the food and atmosphere were great. I had lasagna and my friends had pizza and a bunch of other things. I really enjoyed the lasagna and their prices are good, which is another reason I went back. The second time, I went on my own and I was told to wait one moment before... I sat. I thought I was waiting to be seated, but then the waiter handed me a card that said everyone is required to order a meal and a drink and there is a 300 yen cover charge on top of that. I had been looking forward to the lasagna, so I said okay and was getting ready to sit. Then I was told the entire bottom floor was reserved, and another 2 tables which were empty were reserved. The only one available was by the steps. At that point, I wasn’t really interested in staying any longer and left.

The following review is based on my experience with the 1000 yen set lunch that includes salad, onion & bacon soup, a main (pizza or pasta) and coffee at the end. To me, the taste is perfectly subtle yet tasty and the value of the lunch set is awesome. Please also note that Japanese-Italian food di...ffers slightly from your traditional Italian style of cooking. The salad and soup was a nice touch to the meal. Surprisingly, most of their mains are vegetarian and the only non-vegetarian thing in the set is the soup! This means that the pastas are just pasta and sauce - the sauces are light but delicious. The pizza is yummy as well, but I do see some mixed reviews due to some people not liking the crust. Do check my photos to see if the kind of crust they serve suits your tastes!

The only reason why this review gets more than one star is purely because the staff were very lovely. However, that is the only positive comment I can make. We started with the 10pc appetiser set, with a third of it I wouldn’t exactly call an appetiser (a few pieces of brocolli, bit of cabbage - it... was more of a garnish really). The pizza base was like Lebanese bread, was well undercooked and the toppings were cold. The spaghetti bolognese didn’t have much mince at all and the sauce was interesting. The pasta itself was barely cooked - it was hard, chewy and had a cardboard-like texture. Such a shame as it was imported from Italy.
