Yay episode 2 is out and subbed as well!! ^^

WHAO a confession and more already....she's certainly blunt.

I'm loving the quick atmosphere, and it has the perfect balance between action/drama and comedy; then manages to keep laid-back.

After watching the second episode... for some reason them being quite older men didn't bother me anymore. :p I can't wait to see how Nicoletta progresses (both as a cook and romantically).

That's what I began to think as well actually, heh.

So not the only one...

At any rate, this episode started to develop the characters a bit, which made me happy. All-in-all I'll definitely be sticking with this. Next episode looks great too. Can't wait.

For those who don't know - episode 1 and 2 aired this week (which I suppose worked in their favor), so the third episode won't be airing next week.. but the week after.

which is kind of a shame.. I really want to watch the third episode ~

the second one is definitely better. there was comedy, character developments, confession, inverse rape (XD), and Gigi spoke @_@

Nicoletta is attracted by older men, so it must be some kinda Oedipus complex, since she's never been with her father. :P just kidding.

it must be because there won't be enough romance in this series. so nicoletta's love won't be the main theme, that's all, i suppose. ^^

Hmm, I guess this is a check on my fangirl anime. With that said though, I do like the atmosphere. I thought the first episode was better than this one, and I still need to wrap my head on Nicoletta's nationality and thing for older men.

Ok the second episode was even better than the first, the direction is smooth and clear, and the developments were really good for such a slice of life/comedy/romance josei. I like Nicoletta's straightforward attitude very much too but I wonder how I will stand seeing all these old men at every episode from now on. Well, I'll try to bear with it I guess.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

This.

I started watching this today and I love it! Very refreshing show compared to the other anime this season. It has that Antique Bakery feel to it if you've seen that. Yet another show that makes me hungry. D:

I never think I'd have a thing for older characters now. Claudio, Gigi and Furio. <333 I'd get on them like Nicoletta did

Haha, Claudio's reaction at the preview cracked me up xD
Heck, I'm starting to fall for that guy.

I didn't like the way Nicoletta is dealing with her attraction to Claudio... it was original and fun, but really... that attempt of "inverse rape" was too rushed! Now our dear gentleman will stop being such, and go all awkward around her. Damn it, Nicoletta. What a bad move.

But it doesn't matter, you get my support anyways! Get the man, girl! Don't let your mom stop it, she has enough dudes and you deserve at least that from her!

Hahaha. GAH I NEED MORE RISTORANTE PARADISO NOW.
I'll lurk for some manga...

I am really enjoying this show! I love the oyaji guys with glasses! This is awesome :D I am 34, and it is really nice to see a show with guys that I don't have to feel like a creepy pedo for admiring ^_^ I get sick of all the 15 year-old guys in anime, blah. This ep was funny, I lol'd at Claudio's expression when Nicoletta pounced on him 'I can't...' hahaha :D

Agreed, and that reasoning for her attraction for older men also crossed my mind! :D

Well more of that gentle humour and relaxing soundtrack. From the preview last episode I thought that whole thing was in Nicolette's mind! Lol poor Claudio, too much of a gentlemen to refuse a women.. actually he was just plain moe.

That is what I thought at first. I was like "no wonder he doesn't know how to handle her, he's gay!". Then his ex spoke and she was a chick. =/ Aw well...

But lol in general, poor Claudio.
