It was absolutely delicious.
The seasonal pumpkin soup is fresh with crispy bacon on top! This is also delicious.

I'm not a fan of the smell of river fish, but I didn't notice any smell from the sweetfish, and the presentation was delicate and beautiful.I was so impressed by how exquisite it was.

2 pasta dishes
Delicious and finished in no time. Ragu pasta
I like it even more.

The aged pork is prepared for 5 hours.
It's not greasy and the flavor of the meat is addictive.
This seems to be a standard dish, so I'm looking forward to going back.
⇨I forgot to take a photo ( ・∇・)

I have also become a fan of Dolce's tiramisu. 🍰
I'm sure I'll visit again. Thank you for the meal ♡
