Got into Nagoya around 8pm and by the time we checked into the hotel it was pushing 9pm. Wanted to have a relatively nice meal for our last night in Japan but didn't quite know where to go and it was a bit too cold&dark to be wandering aimlessly around Nagoya Station.
The department stores always feature nice restaurants so we went with that fall-back option. Went up the Nagoya JR Central Towers and wandered in circles a bit before deciding on the Italian option.
The food certainly wasn't inexpensive at Trattoria Mah, with the emphasis on a soothingly dim room of blues and burgundies, each tables lit more brightly by halogen spots. We kept it light with a salad, a pizza, and a glass of Itlian wine. The Nippon-Italian food was of good quality, although I'm not sure if the Italian-style thin-crust was quite sufficient to hold all the toppings on the signature pizza. I mean there was seafood, vegetables, and even a hard-boiled egg tossed in for good measure. Definitely safer to eat with knife-and-fork on a plate.
