Enjoy hearty dishes at Pasta-koBy: Marie W. Conway Date Posted: 1998-10-18 From the 17 different pasta dishes, chicken and bacon in a light cream sauce, shrimp chili, and seafood spaghetti are frequently ordered by Americans. For those with a hearty appetite, a larger helping of pasta, macaroni or rice gratin is only an additional ¥200 Also, with the pasta or gratin dishes for an additional ¥350, you can get bread and drink or a salad and a drink. During lunch time, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Wednesday and Friday &Saturday, every week there will be a few selected items to be served with salad, toast, and all the tea or coffee you want for 780 yen! In the evenings from 5-11 p.m., Nakayone gives you 50% off of a glass of wine on Monday and Saturday, bacon salad on Tuesday, pizza on Wednesday, and beer on Friday. The spicy meat rice gratin and shrimp and spinach gratin, both mixed with a cream and tomato sauce topped with mozzarella and breadcrumbs, were quite delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the real bacon pieces tasted on top of the lettuce, corn, tomato, and egg salad, which sells for Y700. Another unique salad was the beef shabu-shabu (boiled beef and vegetables) that was also ¥700. The margarita pizza for ¥980 is another favored item on the menu. Some of the appetizers include fried and garlic fried potatoes, fried cheese sticks, and grilled sausage. To make the dinner complete, Pasta-ko offers chocolate, rare cheesecake, custard, and marron cake sets with a choice of Coke, tea, coffee, or orange juice for ¥460. Bring your family and let Pasta-ko take you back to the 50's. Pasta-ko is open from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Friday - Wednesday.
