ポルケッタ LINKS UMEDA店 at Umeda, Osaka

Roman-style pizzeria on LINKS UMEDA 8F specialising in porchetta and thin-crust pizza.

Porchetta LINKS UMEDA is an Italian trattoria on the 8th floor of the LINKS UMEDA complex at Yodobashi Umeda, operated by the Giraud restaurant group. Its name comes from porchetta, the Roman tradition of slow-roasted pork belly with crisp skin and fragrant herbs, which sits alongside thin, crisp Roman-style pizza as the house's two signature dishes. The menu ranges across antipasti, spaghetti and other Italian classics, with the juicy herb-scented porchetta and freshly oven-baked pizza the centrepieces, and the dining room offers around 58 seats in a fully non-smoking setting with opening hours from 11:00 to 23:00. It suits a relaxed lunch between shopping, a pre-theatre dinner or a casual evening with friends, and the central location steps from Osaka Station makes it an easy meeting point. When the craving for proper Roman pizza and roast pork strikes in Umeda, this bright trattoria is a thoroughly satisfying choice; Go Umeda suggests you come hungry.
