Fancy Italian lunch!

A friend of mine took me to his favorite Italian restaurant in Kyoto!!  It's a full-service restaurant with an elegant atomosphere.  Just two groups were there, relaxing, and we enjoyed the full course meal.  Everything was so fantastic-looking and delicious!! 

RISTRANTE DEI CACCIATORI

Eel (beneath the onion) and wine-pickled Satounishiki cherry 

Seasonal salad with biwa, chicken, asparagus

Sauteed sea bream in creamy tomato sauce

Fettuccine pasta with vegetables

Veal cutlets and grilled vegetables

Lemon cake and lemon gelato

It was an interesting comparison with French cuisine.  The Italian places more important on simplicity and bring out the ingredients on flavor with just salt and pepper or something, while French cuisine tends to have various kinds of sauces and aim to produce rather complicated flavors.  Both are good in their own ways, and it is so nice to have both options here!
