La Corte

I will start off by stating I was really looking forward to coming here. I came with my wife for lunch and we did a simple lunch set which runs 1200 yen. My wife ordered the seafood pasta (400 yen upgrade) and I had the bacon based red sauce. We also love Paella so we decided to split an order since they have clam Paella on the menu.
The overall presentation and atmosphere is very well done at this restaurant. Compared to Capricciosa (Tomato & Garlic) in Moore’s City which is a chain or small Italian joint Piacere around the corner, this place has fine linens and very expensive cognac, champagne, and wine available. If you want to dress up, you would not be out of place here. This place has a nice show, but is lacking in anything else.
I was really looking forward to the simple salad, soup, pasta, and desert of the set — if I enjoyed this, I knew I was going to come back for the more expensive set menu items. Usually, I go for lunch at places, make sure its worth spending 5000 yen a person before committing. Most Japanese places serve dinner menu items at lunch for cheaper. This was my reasoning, and I’m glad, I could have wasted a lot of money…
The salad was just a very small plate of simple green in what I believe was a light oil with a hint of some herb. It was a very fine way to start off the set. This was in line with anything at any other Italian restaurant in the area.
This was followed by a creamy corn soup with two croutons in it. Nothing really special here, just a light fall soup.
This is where I wish I would have went to the other two locations I mentioned earlier. The pasta I received was under cooked (not soft or hard, just straight up not cooked right), the noodles were hard, and the sauce tasted like ketchup. My wife’s pasta had a vodka sauce taste but the shrimp were over-​cooked, rubbery, and I could have done better with a lighter and a pair of chop sticks on cooking the seafood. I have few reasons to complain about Japanese restaurants because I typically cannot cook dishes that match the food served in this country. I was shocked by the absolute lack of depth and taste, making me wish I just cooked at home.
I was really hoping the Paella would save the really, poorly done pasta set since I paid an extra 1300 yen for the Paella. The clams were not cleaned properly, sandy, and over cooked. This was the 2^nd seafood item to be done to the point where the meat lost texture and flavor. I have had seafood done perfectly at every other Italian joint in Japan, I do not mind it being under cooked. Making the dish rubbery is a very distinct award that only this place has done to me in Japan. Rice, the center piece of Japanese cuisine was over cooked, bland, lifeless, and I honestly could not keep but realizing that I wish I took my business elsewhere.
The crème bruele was cold in the middle, over charred on the crisp, and it was tasty but burnt. The restaurant was empty for a Saturday lunch crowd, and after my meal I understand why. If you are looking for a nice place with linens at a nice price and do NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR TASTEBUDS, please come here. Otherwise, please try the other places I mentioned earlier. There are too many places that have consistent quality in the local area that there is absolutely no reason to waste your time on a place where you can spend 5000 yen on an Italian meal in which you wish you would have stayed at home and bought a bag of pre-​made pasta instead.
Needless to say, I doubt I’ll be back.

In my time living in Japan this was a hidden gem in Yokosuka worth finding. It’s a course menu and trust me the $$$ is worth is, go big or don’t bother because it will leave you wanting more. English and Japanese menus staff is friendly and will take their time to help you

Casual elegance, delicious French/​Italian fusion (not to mention the option for an hour of nomihoudai for 1000¥) and impeccable service await at this hidden «blue street» gem.
La Corte has an a la carte menu and set menu. Set menu is around 6000¥. A la carte include a variety of appetizers like pickles, cheese, soups, and salads. There’s even a fondue option. It’s no Melting Pot, but the cheese was good with a nice variety of dippers. The dinner menu has variety from pizza to pasta to meat dishes.
Service is superb and the «service» bread and olive are amazing. Some other perks: an outdoor patio (ish) area.
