Gambacorta

Solid option for Italian food lunch sets

Gambacorta in Joetsu is a solid spot for your Italian food cravings, and like a lot of palces in Japan, lunchtime is when you get the best bang for your buck. They have various lunch sets available, with the most basic one priced at 1500 yen. It comes with a mixed salad, the pasta of the day, bread, the dessert of the day, and coffee -- personally I think that's a great deal. Their two other lunch set offerings have more food and are priced at 2200 and 3300 yen respectively, but I think the 1500 yen option is more than enough for my appetite!
