Capricciosa

Frommer's Review

This chain restaurant is very popular with students and families for its pizza and pasta, available in regular size (good for one person) or large size for hearty appetites or two diners. The English-language menu lists everything from pizza capricciosa (with bacon, salami, onion, and more) to spaghetti with eggplant and spinach in meat sauce. The salads are big enough for two to share. However, the cheesy decor and fake plants just don't do it for me. On the other hand, a walk through Yodobashi Camera shop with its endless stock is a trip.

In addition to this one near Osaka Station, other convenient locations are in the America Mura shopping district, 2-12-22 Nishi Shinsaibashi (tel. 06/6212-4371; station: Shinsaibashi), open daily 11:30am to 10pm; and in the Namba Oriental Hotel Building, 2-8-17 Sennichimae (tel. 06/6644-8330; station: Midosuji), open daily 11am to 10:30pm.
