Reasonable Italian in Marui

Marui (OIOI, 丸井) is a department store which focuses on fashion and their branches are all over Japan. When I went to their summer sale in Ueno(上野), nearest one to my house, I went to a casual Italian restaurant called "NOLITTA (ノリータ)" on the highest floor.

Starters and a beer

Grilled sausage 

Pizza Bismarck

Red wine

Spaghetti with tomato and seafood

Surprisingly, all the menus are very reasonable. Every starter costs less than JPY500. Even pastas and pizzas are around JPY1,000. Bottles of wine are approx. JPY2,000. Those prices might be cheaper than the one I cook by myself... The taste was more than the price. We were satisfied particularly with pizza which was baked in the brick-oven. The pizza crust was fluffy and chewy and delicious. It seems having light meals after shopping in NOLITTA would be a good option. My rating is 2.9 out of 5. Gochiso-samadeshita!
