Homemade Pasta Shop BLU CHIARO Looks Set to Open Near Hinoike Park

2019年7月30日

This is the assorted appetizer plate from the “Pasta Lunch” ¥1,760 (tax included).
From the right, it’s a salad topped with homemade roast pork, Italian ham, and salami♡
It’s so colorful and appetizing〜.

The peanuts were so tender〜♡

The melon-looking piece at the upper left… I couldn’t figure out what it was even after eating it, so I asked the staff, and it turned out to be water eggplant〜 (surprise). Personally, I’ve never been great with eggplant, but this was so delicious it almost made me like it.

Next up is the “sesame focaccia.”
It’s moist and goes perfectly with the pasta〜. You can even get refills♡

For the main pasta, I chose “broccoli and anchovy oil sauce.”

The black topping is apparently “black olive powder.”

I-it’s irresistible〜♡
Who knew broccoli could take center stage like this〜? The anchovies support it beautifully in the background♡

Dessert was “pumpkin panna cotta.”
There was a little winged hippo on the plate〜♡ So cute〜
The beautiful blue plate is handmade too, apparently〜

It went perfectly with the bittersweet caramel sauce. So good.
I always look forward to seeing what kind of dessert they’ll serve. (By the way, in summer it was gelato〜)

Final Thoughts

Located very close to Hinoike Park, BLU CHIARO（ブル キアーロ） is an Italian restaurant that opened in October 2019. On sunny days, sunlight streams in through the glass windows, making it feel so pleasant♡ You can enjoy a grown-up lunch at the single-slab wooden counter. Lunch is very popular too, so I recommend reserving a seat before you go〜.
