This is the first visit to Wakayama and the first dinner was an Italian. The foods are delicate and delicious. The style is quite different with those I had in California. The chef uses local ingredients in several dishes; e.g. The pasta topping with mentaiko (seasoned cod roe) and olive oil is very good. The desserts are also amazing. The wine selection are rather limited, but they are fairly good in terms of taste and price.

Main dining of Wakayama Marina City Hotel. Fine Italian Restaurant with great view. Breakfast is famous for having the Tuna Cutting Show everyday. Various wines.
We dined in the Caro E Cara Italian restaurant located inside the Wakayama Marina City Hotel. The food was overall good, especially the seafood fish steak and the salmon spaghetti which was freshly made by experienced chefs in the restaurant. However, the roast beef steak was not the finest beef steak used, and the desserts are a little too sweat, indicating the slight flaw for the dishes in the restaurant. The service was good, waiters proactively served us bread and water when we needed them. They treated customers friendly and kindly. The ambience was on average, some customers were quite noisy but there was only 3-4 families dining in the restaurant which gave us spacious amount of space for qualitied dining. The price was relatively reasonable due to the frequent adding of bread to our plates. Overall it was a very good meal but with little flaws in between the meals and the overall environment.
Where to eat Cafe food in Wakayama: The Best Restaurants and Bars
As a Westerner visiting Wakayama for a couple of days, I first noticed the chalkboard advertising this Pizza Restaurant whilst walking late one afternoon along the broad avenue that leads from Wakayama Station towards Wakayama Castle.Returning from the Castle in the early evening I noticed that a large Italian flag had been added to the chalkboard and stopped to read the menu; although in Japanese, it also indicated that "Mr. Magic speaks English!". On the strength of this, I descended the stairs to the Basement premises and enquired whether they were open for food.The place looks more like a bar rather than a restaurant and the first thing that appealed to me was the excellent sound system playing largely jazz music. "Mr. Magic" is the chef, barman, maitre d', sole proprietor .... all rolled into one! His love of jazz music stems from his days as a jazz trumpeter.Rather than ordering from a menu you just tell Mr. Magic what toppings you would like on your pizza and he disappears off to the kitchen to prepare. As I don't drink alcohol, it was wonderful to discover that Mr. Magic's wife makes the homemade ginger beer that he dispenses here ... the likes of which I haven't tasted for more than 60-years!I enjoyed the pizza, I thought the music and the homemade ginger beer was great but most of all I had several hours excellent conversation with the proprietor!
