ファミリア - Nagasaki

Wow, just wow. To be able to pull off cooking and serving the whole place on your own, plus explaining the menu calmly, amazes me. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something else.

Food was okay, but the service was awful. After reading the glowing reviews, I was excited to try this restaurant and expected a warm and friendly dining experience. However, from the second my family and I entered the restaurant the owner-chef-server was the complete opposite of that. Not once did he smile or engage in any conversation during his interactions with us, which were limited to just taking our order, serving our food and leaving the check, which was what he did, literally. I paid by credit card and when he returned with my receipt and card placed on a tray, he left it on the table and disappeared without a word. This is incredibly rude and insulting, because it is customary in Japan to exchange farewells after paying and the person who received your money will attentively wait for you to leave the restaurant or even lead you out and watch you go until you are out of sight. I actually waited a minute to see if he’d reappear, because I had never experienced this in my 20 years living in Japan. The service was not only unfriendly and rude, but unbelievably slow. The owner-chef-server is a one-man-show, so you’re going to need to wait and wait for your food and you better order everything you want when you get there, because you don’t want to order something else later and get placed at the end of the long and slow moving queue. We were the first table for dinner service and received our first 3 of 4 dishes at a reasonable pace, but after our 3rd dish was served, other customers came in and it took about an hour from that point for him to serve our final dish.

This restaurant exceeded all expectations. not only is eating and drinking quite spectacular, but the atmosphere is cozy and fun. the owner can make her feel at home right away. this place was so great, we went back the next night. thanks Ken-chan!

Great authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of nagasaki! what a tasty bite! try the gnocchi and the sampler plate! a wonderful place for the night of a girl or a date night with her important other.

You could enjoy verry tasty Italian dishes and good wines. The prices are ok and it's nice owner who speaks also english and will tranlate you the menu. The food is verry delicious and served fast.
