This Italian Restaurant called Pontoiru Umeda is a Japanese Italian Fusion type restaurant in the heart of Osaka near the Namba area and serves Amazing Pasta dishes that are served and tossed with fresh vegetables from the Kyoto Region. They have an array of pasta dishes to choose from and you can have them Ala Carte or as a Set Menu as well. I had the Crab Meat Pasta with Tomato Sauce and it was phenomenal. The pasta as the Japanese always do, cooked a perfect Al Dente and the sauce nice and light and not too heavy. My wife had the Half & Half where you could sample two types of Pasta in smaller portions. All i can say is that it was delicious and the portions were pretty hefty for a Japanese Restaurant. As for the price range, i found it to be very reasonable and great value. We were very lucky to get there when they just opened because on our way out the Restaurant started to get crowded. So my advice to you is that if you are in the Namba area walking around and doing some shopping, you should stop over here if you have a craving for some amazing Pasta cooked to perfection.
