giocoso

Let me introduce a popular Italian restaurant in Fukuoka.
It’s called “giocoso,” located at 6-10-6 Shigetome, Sawara-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. 😊

This Italian restaurant boasts a wonderful, cozy atmosphere and the charm of a hidden gem.
The owner, who spent years working as a pasta chef in Hakata, opened this establishment in 2019.
On this visit, I tried the pasta lunch set, the meat set, and the half-size set.
The “Pork Belly and Mibuna Greens Peperoncino” offers a savory, spicy kick—though the chili heat is kept in check to let the natural flavors shine—creating a refined, harmonious taste with the mibuna and olive oil.
The “Tuna and Mushroom Tomato Sauce” pasta features a prominent garlic flavor that pairs perfectly with the tomato sauce, striking a brilliant balance between a refreshing lightness and rich depth.
Upgrading the Margherita from half-size to regular size is a fantastic deal at this price point! ‼️
It’s simple, yet both the crust and the tomato sauce are outstanding! ‼️
Plus, the included drink is part of a free-refill service, so you can enjoy a variety of options—which is a real treat! 😃
Whether it’s the pasta lunch, the meat set, or the half-size set, getting such high quality and generous portions at these prices is a real bargain and something to be truly grateful for these days! ‼️
I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves pasta! ‼️
