Oriental Hotel Fukuoka Hakata Station (Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City) is presenting an "Italian Bar Dinner Buffet" (イタリアンバル ディナーブッフェ) at restaurant LINK SQUARE (リンクスクエア) on the B2F level, running from Tuesday, September 1 to Saturday, October 31, 2026.
Freshly Baked Pizza — 5 Varieties, Weekly Rotation
The centerpiece of the dinner buffet is pizza baked fresh in the live kitchen. The lineup ranges from classics such as Margherita, Quattro Formaggi, prosciutto and arugula, and seafood genovese, to more approachable options like mentaiko and squid, grilled corn and bacon, and mushroom and spinach. With their freshly baked aroma, the pizzas change on a weekly basis, letting guests enjoy a different flavor each visit.
Live Pasta Finished in a Parmigiano Cheese Vessel
Pasta is served all-you-can-eat, with options including Bolognese, carbonara, and tomato cream. At the live kitchen, chefs also toss pasta in a large Parmigiano cheese vessel, coating each dish in the cheese's rich flavor right in front of guests. Prosciutto is carved to order on a slicer and served alongside grissini, Parmesan, and extra virgin olive oil — a hands-on way to enjoy some of Italy's signature flavors freshly prepared.
From Appetizers to Hot Dishes and Desserts
Beyond pizza and pasta, the buffet offers a wide selection of Italian-inspired appetizers and hot dishes. Appetizers include buffalo mozzarella and colorful tomato caprese, mortadella antipasto misto, squid with celery and broccoli genovese, and an autumn vegetable insalata mista. Hot dishes include mussels steamed in Marsala wine, chicken saltimbocca with autumn mushroom and Parmigiano cream sauce, beef braised in red wine, and chicken cacciatore. Desserts include tiramisu, panna cotta, cassata, and maritozzo — a lineup of classic Italian sweets.
Menu Changes Across September and October
Select dishes change on a monthly basis throughout the two-month run. September features fritto misto and acqua pazza, while October brings arancini and Sicilian-style saury gratinato. The rotating lineup gives guests a reason to return for a different taste of autumn throughout the period.
Peroni and Sommelier-Selected Wines
Drinks lean into the Italian theme as well. The beer selection includes Italy's Peroni, alongside white and red wines chosen by the restaurant's sommelier. Italian liqueurs such as Campari and Amaretto are also available, along with shochu, highballs, and a range of cocktails to pair with the food.
