About this place
Shrimp pasta with lemon cream is a dish that diners often mention at Buongiorina. Some enjoy the pairing of lemon aroma and cream; others remember the smooth combination of shrimp and cream, lifted by lemon. If you are deciding between a tangy pasta and a dish that showcases seafood flavours, the menu also includes vongole with clams in a savoury sauce and tomato cream pasta with spanner crab. Some diners have enjoyed their pasta at lunch with a starter, soup and coffee afterwards, making it easy to build a meal around the pasta.
Another dish to consider is the cream pizza with rock seaweed and onion. Diners who have tried it enjoy the way the seaweed’s flavour meets the onion’s sweetness and texture. It makes a good alternative to pasta, or a dish to share around the table. To begin, choose from onion quiche, white chicken-liver pâté and an assorted starter platter of 7 varieties. One diner started with the quiche, then enjoyed stewed squid and whelks on baguette. Ordering a few starters before moving on to a main course is another way to enjoy the menu.
Main courses include roasted Amakusa pork, oven-baked swordfish and grilled Japanese black wagyu. Some diners have singled out the roast pork for its tenderness. The menu offers options for a meal centred on pasta or pizza, as well as a dinner built around meat or fish. To finish, there is cream cheese pudding, fresh chocolate cake and the day’s sorbet. After-dinner drinks include coffee, chamomile and muscat tea. The small, casual dining room has a private room, and reservations are recommended for both lunch and dinner.
