| I must say that I had no idea what this Anime was about, I just picked an Anime at random and decided to go with this one. It's a strange concept but strangeness is what makes many Anime so great so it´s not a big deal, I actually liked the slower pace and the relaxed atmosphere. Let's see where this is going. |
 |
| It doesn't remind me of Aria at all. Just cause it's Italy? Um ok. Also fuck you, preview before the ending. I hate when they do that. |
| Fair first episode overall.... The art and characters are not great but decent enough, the scenery also. The camera shots and motion is unique, the most memorable thing though must be the music. |
Strider said: I actually kinda enjoyed the episode o: If they don't put too much romance-drama-blahblah stuff in the anime it might become something really enjoyable and interesting ^^ +1. That young woman x old dude kinda put me off, and from the preview it seems like she will push him down and undress/unbutton him, wtf? She fell for him almost immediately. Otherwise it's kinda enjoyable, but the way the eyes were drawn was pretty creepy. |

| Overall decent episode, it felt a little slow though. I'm not too fond of the main girl yet since she seems to be a bit indecisive and easily seems to fall for people. The style of the series so far seems to target an older audience but I can deal with it. I love the OST though as it feels classic. Not bad so far. |
 |
| It felt really slow, but I like the setting and originality of it. The art is really weak though. |
| Well this show sure has an interesting setting! The art style is a bit unique and you need to get used to it but there is a rather relaxing atmosphere around this first episode so let's see what the other episodes have to offer. |
 |
| Wow, that was so special. I really enjoyed this episode. It kind of reminds me of Nodame Cantabile + Bartender + Mount Cristo, mixed in one. I love the art and animation style! It's so..Rome-y ;) And the music was absolutely fantastic and fitting. I hope the romance between Claudio and main girl won't interfere with the series too much. Onto the next episode! Also, I edited a pic of Claudio and removed his wrinkles *o* |
| I might go gay for all of these bishounen--or is it biojii...or maybe fathers I'd like to--I'm still laughing at this concept, seriously this is completely new to me but in a good way. Seriously though this is a fresh change of pace for me. I love the calm and relaxing atmosphere that's complimented by the rich Italian setting. All of the waiters seem like really refined and intriguing characters and are letting the honey flow from each word they speak. |
 |
| ^ Yub, very refreshing. I like nice people and those gentlemen are very good at it :) |
 |
| A Japanese anime that takes place in Italy with English subtitles! :D Pretty hilarious how self-aware the setup is like this:  Yet, other than being a character-driven show, it's not predictable like other anime -- well, other than Nicoletta's attraction to Cladio. ;) |
| It's a host bar, but less shady and with older men. This art style is going to take some getting used to. The blank eyes and wide mouths.... eh... That.... episode preview... jesus. |

| Whaaaat?! I'm not sure what to do at this point...I almost stopped watching just a couple minutes in after seeing how old the guys were but I decided to keep watching, and now I'm so confused! I like how it's totally different from the usual, but at the same time, the guys are at least twice my age and I don't find them attractive at all. I was hoping for romance, but given how old the men are, I don't think I'll enjoy it.. But at the same time, it was incredibly relaxing, and the preview for the next episode so looks exciting.. Guess another episode can't hurt. |
| Nice first episode, anyone else has noticed that the newspaper headlines at the newsagents were all in Spanish? |
| God there's an ojisan harem. Wow. I really like the mood of this show tho. Impressed. |

| I always feel like the odd one out, and I REALLY hate to be THAT person, but are we just going to ignore the fact that the main character is trying to screw a married man? The anime is good enough that it's not deterring me so far, even though I LOATH homewrecking with a passion, but I just want to point that out. Maybe I'm the only one with a chip on her shoulder... |
| Really enjoyable start. The atmosphere has already won me over, so damn relaxing. Now I'm curious to see how drama and romance will be handled. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but I can definitely say that is has won me over already. The music, the art, the atmosphere; everything just makes me feel relaxed. Reminds me a lot of Bartender, another show I quite liked. I look forward to seeing how this progresses. |
| Really good anime, I'm enjoying it! But no one is going to talk about how shitty the mom is? Lol like she deadass abandoned her daughter |
 |
| Didn't know what to expect from this show, other than food, but now I'm interested to see how the romance part would develop. Nice to see it set in Rome too. |
