Izakaya Roku, San Francisco CA

I liked this fusion. Udon is usually great with anything, and it tasted pretty good in this Italian style. That said, the carbonara wasn’t authentic in any way but it still had a pleasant texture and was nice and creamy/cheesy. It wasn’t the best dish here, but it was a nice change of pace.

Mmm, this pasta was delicious! I don’t think I’ve had this type of pasta before and I really liked the texture of it. The house-made ricotta salata was also pretty amazing with the awesome ragu. So good!
