Pizzeria O’sole mio Ishibashi

The restaurant was very quiet when I arrived, however it still took over an hour just for the starter to arrive, and the pizza itself actually arrived after closing time! Prices are much higher than comparable restaurants in Osaka, especially when you consider that this restaurant forces you to orde...r an alcoholic drink and won’t serve water (what happens for people who can’t drink alcohol?) Half the prices include tax and half don’t, with no indication of which is which (pretty sure price display regulations have something to say about that…) The pizza was also not worth the wait. I have had much nicer Bismarck pizzas in Osaka for far less money. It was extremely oily, had very little meat, and no greens at all. Additionally, the meat was advertised as bacon, but was actually those US-style “Weiners”. The cheese is advertised as mozzarella, but tastes a lot like cheap cheddar. Literally the only redeeming factor was that the onion rings were delicious. No napkins either, which would have considered to be a basic necessity in any restaurant, or any business that serves food really. As a final note, for those that still decide to go to this restaurant, be aware that the photos reflect much higher quality food than was served. I don’t know if it is that quality has fallen since they opened, or whether the photos are just generic ones taken from the Internet, but I don’t recommend eating here.
