Jolly Pasta Otaru Chikko — Restaurant in Otaru

Jolly Pasta

My brother and I visited here for dinner last night. Started mostly as a joke as the name is funny.

I ordered a lot of food, probably not the best idea but I was happy with the results.

Caesar Salad said it was for 2-3 people but honestly I love salad so could have done it alone. So if you’re in the mood for a salad it’s not really family sized portions.

Spicy Fettuccine was good. The sauce was not the greatest but it was good. The mozzarella stole the show on this dish. Tip, wait for the pasta to melt the cheese then eat.

Asian Inspired Clams Linguine was okay. Would probably not order this one again.

Tiramisu was amazing!

If you go don’t expect fine dining. It’s more of a diner but for pasta. I was very happy with the meal overall. And of course in my opinion worth going back for more.

Maybe will update the rating as I keep trying more...

Came here on a whim and was so surprised at how well everything was executed at this restaurant. We came in at around 8:30PM and they were about half full, but we could tell they were a little understaffed as the waitress was working hard to clear and set tables for us. We really do appreciate her effort and we were seated after a short wait. Once seated, we were able to order via a tablet. They serve up pasta as their name suggests and all the pastas had a bit of a Japanese influence and were delicious. We were especially impressed by the bolognese and the mentaiko pasta. Portions were generous and priced affordably. There is a drink bar for an additional fee that allows for unlimited drinks. Plenty of parking as it shares a large lot with the other restaurant in area, a Hama-sushi. Pleasantly surprised here and would definitely come again if I see...

Wide range of menu options, quick & attentive service, even though staff did not speak much English. We all enjoyed the simple, tasty pastas, portions were ample. There was also comfortable seating for 5 people. Ambience is that of a fast food joint, but everything was clean & tidy. My elderly mum-in-law enjoyed this eatery very much, asked us to take us...
