Gastropub Gablicci is located RIGHT in front of the bus stop where the shuttle bus to the Westin Hotel Osaka departs from. I went in, and ordered a glass of iced coffee. While enjoying my drink I watched the people inside the bar. Men and women, who seemed like office workers just after work were enjoying a glass of beer or wine, laughing. Some were having Italian dishes like pasta, Pizza, etc. in a warm and cozy atmosphere of the bar. While staying in Osaka I visited the place three times, since the location was so convenient that I could casually drop in the place before and after riding a free shuttle bus of the Westin Hotel. If you come to Osaka and take a bus at the Sakurabashi Gate, this is the place you can kill time while enjoying casual Italian dishes and drinks.
