* Based on a manga by Ono Natsume, serialised in the alternative manga magazine Manga Erotics F.Ristorante Paradiso illustrates the life of Nicoletta, a young woman who comes to Rome to confront her mother who abandoned her as a young girl. However, a chain of events leads to her becoming an apprentice chef at a restaurant owned by her mom's boyfriend instead."RisPara", as it's abbreviated by Japanese fans, was the second installment in Fuji Television's "NOISE" late-night anime time slot, following Michiko to Hatchin.

21 year-old Nicoletta leaves her grandparents' home in the countryside to work in Rome at a restaurant owned by her estranged mother's lover. But something sets the popular and elegant Casetta Dell'orso apart from its rivals: the entire restaurant is staffed by older gentlemen wearing glasses (as per her mother's preference). Thrown into this adult world, Nicoletta must try to find personal and professional stability - things that become increasingly difficult to achieve as she falls under the spell of Casetta Dell'orso.
