Italian Restaurant Olive Hill at Kansai Airport

Address: Japan〒549-0001 Osaka, Izumisano, Senshukukokita, 1 Aero Plaza 3F Atmosphere/Facilities: Numbered seating, tablet-based ordering, average-sized tables. Independent restaurant, accepts credit cards. Highlights: Teppanyaki dishes, pasta, pizza Average Price: 900 yen Rating: Located in the Kansai Airport accommodation area, where dining options are limited. It’s recommended to head to Terminal 1 for more choices. We chose this Italian restaurant because the seating looked decent, but the actual experience was just average. Meal prices range from 800 to 900 yen, which is reasonable for airport dining. Dish Reviews: - No. 987 Teppanyaki Pork Belly (950 yen): Generous portion of pork belly chunks served with broccoli, mashed potatoes, and corn. The pork belly is seasoned with a pepper-garlic oil sauce, making it quite fatty and best paired with rice. - No. 346 Rice (small): Personally, I found it overpriced. - No. 222 Caesar Salad (490 yen): Fresh vegetables with slices of prosciutto and freshly grated cheese. Average in taste. - No. 104 Soft-Boiled Egg (90 yen): A side dish to pair with rice and teppanyaki pork belly. - No. 285 Roasted Broccoli (390 yen): Perfectly cooked broccoli topped with strips of ham. - No. 909 Italian Bacon Egg Pasta (690 yen): A simplified fast-food version of carbonara. Very little salty ham, but the broccoli with the same ham was a nice addition. The flavor resembles a tasty convenience store egg yolk cream pasta, with slightly larger portions. Overall, this is a Japanese-style Western fast-food restaurant. I personally recommend the teppanyaki dishes paired with broccoli, rice, and a soft-boiled egg for a satisfying meal. The price is comparable to a bowl of ramen. The pasta dishes are mostly noodles with minimal toppings, and I wouldn’t recommend the seafood options. A companion tried the marinated sardines and No. 920 Squid Ink Pasta, which had an overwhelming fishy taste. Some people recommend the pizza, but we probably won’t return to this restaurant.
