On a recent trip to NYC during their restaurant week, I went to a pop up of Home’s Pasta for lunch. It was held at Wano. Home’s is based in Shibuya in Tokyo, and is known for their spaghetti ramen. When I saw the email promo, I was curious because this is combining two of the world’s best cuisines, and I have eaten at Japanese Italian mash up places before (specifically in Vegas) and its delicious as expected. Here was the menu:
