(Short) Report: Saizeriya: Italian cafe/restaurant in Akiba
Hi, Sorry for the month-long interval. I haven't forgetten about blogging.
Recently, the Italian F&B chain Saizeriya opened an outlet near JR Akihabara station. Do you know of Saizeriya? It's very popular in Japan and is expanding rapidly. Now, Saizeriya has several overseas outlets in Asia (e.g. China, Hong Kong, Singapore...).
Here's my short review.
<Location>
The location is excellent. It's very close to Yodobashi Akiba (please see a photo).
JR Akihabara station has its own built-in retail space "Atrevie Akihabara". Saizeriya is located in the Atrevie.
<Interior/Atmosphere>
Simple. I'm a regular Saizeriya client. But this interior of Akiba-Saizeriya does not resemble any one of the usual Saizeriya outlets. The color scheme is green whereas Saizeriya's regular color scheme is warm red.
<Customer Service>
Very good. The strongest point of Saizeriya is the short time taken to serve food upon ordering. It's ultra fast - ten times faster than any ordinary Italian restaurants. If you go to the restroom, the order will be served by the time you come back to your seat.(This is not exaggeration. I had really this kind of experience in Saizeriya.)
<Menu/foods>
The menu is typical of Japanese family restaurants. There is Pasta, Pizza, Doria, Gratin, and Italian (tiny) steak. As many would know, it's incredibly affordable. Most of the main dishes cost less than JPY500. Saizeriya's dishes are not gourmet, but they are good for the price. As for me, I enjoy Saizeriya's foods several times a month.
<Overall>
I'm very glad that Saizeriya came to Akihabara at last. It's a cheap but good dining option for all Otakus.
