Mano Magio Nagoya — Restaurant in Nagoya

I really had a pleasant experience here. I enjoyed the terrace, the price is reasonable, the taste was good. I even had a special request to cut the avocados and shrimps into smaller sizes due to my teeth surgery, and they got me what I wanted. But something I don’t know makes me rank this place less than 5 stars... I guess us Asians are trained to judge Italian restaurants by more severe grades?? I don’t know. I really did enjoy the experience, by the way. If you are at Nagoya station and craving for pasta with a good view, you could choose here. Their lunch set is 1500yen for bread, salad, pasta...

This is the worst pizza that I ever had, comparing even to those served in the canteen when I was in college the 70’s. The factory made dough had clearly been cold stored for an extended period, exhibiting a prominent staleness in smell and taste. Overly spare in the use of tomato and cheese renders the end product more like a softened cracker that is long past its best before date.

Also extremely over-roasted and over reheated coffee, and desserts that are like cheap packaged goods from the supermarket.

Avoid this if you do not want to spoil and otherwise happy...

It was November and cold. It was dinnertime and crowded. We chose to sit outside. We ordered pasta and pizza. I don't remember what the food was like (but I think it was fine). I do remember it was cold. There were heaters but it was still cold. It was a good experience but next time I think I'll queue up to...
