One of my favorites is called OLI. While there are hundreds of Italian places in Osaka, this one is special.
OLI is situated on the 8th floor of the Tenmabashi Keihan Mall, giving it a view that overlooks the river and part of the city. Many of the tables are situated against the windows, while most others are in direct view.
There are a variety of dishes - from pasta to pizza, as well as desserts. The menu separates the pasta and pizzas out based on the base (tomato or cheese). There are also meat dishes (fish of the day or steak for example), and appetizers (such as salads). The drink menu is extensive as well, with a fine selection of wines and cocktails.
Unfortunately the menu is in Japanese only. If you go with a date (recommended) they will often separate the portions into 2 so that you can easily share.
Directions: Take the Tanimachi Subway Line for Tenmabashi Station. The underground exit connects to the mall.
You can also take the Keihan line.
Hours: 11AM-11PM
There is also a branch in Shibuya, about a four minute walk from the station.
