About this place
The fresh pasta has a satisfyingly chewy texture, while the meat sauce is light, with a good balance of vegetables and minced meat. One diner looking back on lunch at Dining Cafe potto also praised the set fries, crisp outside and tender within. Potto’s Homemade Meat Sauce is one of the fresh-pasta options on a plate served with soup and either salad or stone-oven cereal bread. The accompanying sides can help make the choice when you want a well-rounded meal.
For seafood pasta, consider the Rich Seafood Tomato Cream with Red Snow Crab and Spear Squid. A diner said the crab flavour came through in the rich tomato cream, while the spear squid added a contrast in flavour and texture. Another person who ordered the same pasta highlighted the chewiness of the fresh noodles and seemed equally pleased with the different sauce. The plate comes with soup and either salad or stone-oven cereal bread, so if you also have pancakes in mind, it may be worth choosing with your appetite in mind.
For something sweet after your meal, there are pancakes topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and caramel sauce. One diner who paired them with pasta at lunch enjoyed them with the light-tasting cream and ice cream. A pasta-and-pancake set is also available for those in the mood for both.
From 16:00, the menu also includes small plates and tapas. Options include potato salad with a soft-boiled egg and roast beef carpaccio with aromatic vegetables, to pair with a glass of wine or a Yame green tea sour. This is a different way to enjoy the cafe from a pasta-and-pancake lunch, with dishes to linger over.
For children, choices include a kids’ plate, fresh pasta with meat sauce, kids’ pizza and pancakes. High chairs and a children’s menu are listed, making this a handy option for a family meal.
