Nanako — Restaurant in Osaka

Small place with 3 tables and a row of single seating. Serviced by 2 staff. But the atmosphere and the food is amazing. It's the best bits of Italian food with their own unique Japanese twist. I tasted some Yuzu and soy sauce in their creamy pizza sauce. My pizza had little fish or prawns staring back at me. The prawns cooked in olove oil and garlic were soft shell so you could eat the whole thing. And it was amazingly tasty! Only thing was since it's a small place the meat dishes were up to about a half hour wait But you finish your appetizers just in time for them to come out so it didn't feel like we were...

What a wonderful little restaurant! Very unique dishes and a great atmosphere. The place is tiny, there is only the chef and one waitress. Appetizers come fairly quick but you'll wait for main course at least 30 minutes.

The service is great. The waitress was very courteous and patient, while we were trying to read the menu and order via google translate.

Great selection of wines, looks like it's their specialty. Highly recommend for a relaxed casual dinner if you're...

Exceptionally good food, cozy place, literally a hidden gem.

How to find it: From the main street you go right into the side street, and there is a small passage with stairs going up (multiple places listed in the building). The restaurant is just on the 2nd floor (one set of stairs to climb), on the right - you can't miss it once...
