Pizzeria 8 Minamihorie — Restaurant in Osaka

“Why would you put a huge sign on the building as part of your slogan....and not serve all day brunches??” - me, scratching my head!?

As a long term Osakan resident I was looking forward to eating here. I’ve heard a mixture of friends experience... mostly negative but, I always like to form my own opinion. We arrived 2:30pm to enjoy one of their all day brunches (as ummm that’s what it says on the sign/website/map). We were told it was full, which we were okay to wait for. There were two outside tables available so i was wondering why we weren’t offered them. The staff member then told us that lunch was finished....(advertised as 3pm). And that we couldn’t order as last order was 2:30pm (wasn’t visible anywhere I could see). But I thought... it’s an all day brunch restaurant. Oh wait....that last order is also 2:30pm.

Needless to say, we didn’t get offered anything else, and he turned around and continued his duties.

I can’t talk for the food, as we didn’t get any. The service was mediocre, but the name of it is just blatant false...

The atmosphere is nice and cozy; however, I would not recommend eating here. The restaurant is called 'Pizzeria,' so I expected the pizza to be good. Unfortunately, the pizza is not crispy, and the taste is very bland. It only looks good in the photos. The carbonara soup pasta deserves 1 star. The steak is okay, but without the sauce, it lacks flavor. I asked for salt, and it wasn’t even rock salt. For these dishes, along with three glasses of Coke and three glasses of sparkling wine, the dinner cost more than 10,000 yen. As most people have reviewed, I would have given 1 star, but I feel they can improve, so I’ll...

We passed by this restaurant last 2023 January and wished we could’ve dined there as we just came from a lunch. Fast forward to 2024 we were able to visit Orange street and its surroundings once again and we decided to have lunch here.

The restaurant is nice and cozy. The staff are very helpful and service oriented. The food was great and the prices were not too bad. It was quite affordable given the quality of the food. The serving portions were quite adequate for people with bigger appetites. Overall it was a great lunch. We enjoyed the food and our stay. Great Italian inspired dishes using high quality Japanese...
