The pizza was a bit underwhelming though. I got the margherita and I felt like it wasn't in the oven for long enough.. the mozzarella wasn't fully melted. I'm willing to give the pizzas another shot when I come back next time.

I particularly liked the pizza. The selection of craft beers is amazing as well. This place is definitely my top choice for a night out in Sendai.

And, here has a lot of craft beer, you can try to drink various beer. I tried Belgian beer which is very fruity, and matched with french fries. The atmosphere of the bar is also great! space is cozy with nice music. I definetly come back this nice place!

I asked what was in their pasta and they were able to name all the ingredients, as a friend of mine was allergic to seafood, this was super important. Another staff was able to recommend me an IPA based on the fact that I liked a mild but sweet flavor. (Try #24 on their IPA menu. Hazy IPA I think it was called? I totally forget the name but it is incredible) Food presentation: very good! The pictures don't do it justice. You can tell that they really do try and put effort into the food presentation. Taste: fairly good. The fries were fantastic, and the garlic butter dip was also incredible. (Not shown in pictures, as I wasn't able to get a good one) Price: fair. It's beyond student budget, but doesn't climb into what I would consider super expensive I imagine a decent dinner for 2 might run you 5000 6000 yen. Recommendations: the fries are godlike and so are the IPA beers they serve. Oh, the dessert (as shown in the picture) is also quite tasty. I'd also try their pastas! Would I come here again? Yeah!

This is a breath of fresh air in Sendai, as this place manages to combine that free-spirited vibe of a Japanese Izakaya with a design décor that makes it a place suitable for casual drinking or business lunches. I was pleasantly surprised by the large selection of craft and local beers. I tried the Honey Lemon one, and a friend swears by the **** Orange. Another drink I recommend is the Red Wine Sangria! They even have a hot option in case it 's winter: I had a nice selection of food. Food is tasty, nice portions and well-balanced ingredients. You can feel a nice mix of Japanese taste and Italian recipes. Make sure to try their selection of cold meats, and the vegetables with the butter sauce... heaven! Location wise, it 's pretty easy to find! I recommend getting a bus or train to Aobadori Eki Mae, and from there it 's a 3 minute walk! All in all, it 's a good place for a casual pizza and drinks, or a good option for someone looking to have a comfortable and intimate dinner with a loved one. The drink menu is large, and they have all kinds of wines that can be hard to find in other restaurants.
