Dinner in Narita

In Japanese Food, Welcome to Chiba! on November 30, 2012 at 22:12

Busy studying for my Japanese Language Proficiency Test I have allowed myself little time to explore Chiba this month.Β That changed when I was convinced to go out and have dinner with a friend in Narita. I thought: ‘Hey that might be useful to put on my blog!’ So here it goes.

We meet at the Keisei Narita Station. This is just around the corner from the JR Narita Station in case you’re wondering. My friend promises me the best Mexican restaurant she knows here at ‘Tacos Factory.’ However, when we get there…

Guess I'll take her word for it...

Oh no!!

SOLA signI guess Mexican is off the table.

Not to worry, she also knows a place with good artichoke dishes!

I am a sucker for artichoke so she doesn’t have to tell me twice. πŸ˜‰

I’ve tried an internet search for the place (‘SOLA’) and it doesn’t show up, but the sign looks like this. β†’

We arrive at ‘SOLA’ and it’s definitely the right place, but it has had a make-over into an Italian style, pasta and pizza restaurant. It’s a classy place. The food is really good and a margerita pizza is only 480 yen until 19:00. Now I’ll just show some food pics and be done with it. You’ll know it’s good! πŸ˜€

Nice bar!

Classy place!

You can see the menu on the back wall.

As you can see on the menu on the back wall – pizza and pasta is their main thing.

Satiated our appetite for artichoke with an artichoke and snow crab tartar.

Camembert and hot berries as a second starter. Delish!!

For the main course, a bottle of white wine and two cheap, yet scrumptious pizzas. :D

So that’s all for now folks! I’ll be sure to do more food-related posts, because people seem to like that.
