I walked in with high hopes, an open mind, and a hungry stomach. I left with a full stomach. That’s about it.
When you say that a restaurant is “good,” there’s a certain expectation that the restaurant is actually beyond good; that it’s a place that you’d recommend to someone and that you would patronize again and again.
So in that same context I cannot say that my meal here was “good,” as it did not in any way come close to what I had hoped would be a “good dinner.”
The food here is “not bad,” as in I can’t say any of the dishes I tried were disagreeable to my palate or that they were inedible. They simply were not bad, but not exactly “good” in the restaurant review sense.
The restaurant was crowded, so perhaps my wife and I were faulty in our judgments. Or perhaps it was crowded with travelers like us who just got off the shinkansen and didn’t want to wait in line at the other restaurants we would’ve preferred to eat at.
First, we ordered the half-size Caesar Salad. One good thing was that it was a generous serving for just a half size. The salad was good, but it really didn’t taste like a traditional Caesar Salad.

Next, we went with the Calaprese Pizza which consisted of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni (although we couldn’t find any evidence of any actual sausage), and black olives (about three in total). Oh, and it came with a soft, limp crust that didn’t bring anything to the flavor party.
And for the finale we had the Bolognese Pasta, which was just so-so. Nothing to write home about, so that’s why I’m not writing about this in My Favorites or Recommended Lists.

I've never eaten there and based on your glowing recommendation, I probably won't. I do though love your line about the Stamp Card!
Thanks. Did that mean that you want it? Haha.
