Mentaiko Cheese Pasta Bowl 2900 yen
It looks just like a "pasta bowl."
When you insert a fork and lift the pasta, the aroma of the sauce spreads, and the pasta and ingredients intertwine.
As you eat, you can eventually enjoy the pizza dough that was used as the bowl.
It serves as a dish for the meal, yet can be eaten as is. This new concept of an "edible bowl" is the greatest appeal of the Pasta Bowl.

at Meat&Cheese Forne (@meat_and_cheese_forne) in Nakameguro.
Forne, located a 1-minute walk from Nakameguro Station, is a meat and cheese restaurant famous for its Chicago pizza!
This time, we ordered the Pasta Bowl, a new menu item from April!
This is a voluminous, evolved pasta served in an edible bowl made of pizza dough, with three types on the menu: Mentaiko Cream Pasta, Burrata Cheese Pasta, and Carbonara Pasta!
Each pasta is for 2-3 people, and eating the pizza dough makes you quite full, so sharing is essential!
If you add extra toppings, you can have plenty of prosciutto and cheese on the pizza dough bowl, so if you want to enjoy the entire delicious bowl, you might want to add them!
They were all delicious, but personally, my favorite was the Burrata Cheese Pasta Bowl, which had a whole rich burrata cheese on bolognese!
The Pasta Bowl is a reservation-only menu, so be sure to make a reservation before you go!
