This little cafe may be difficult to find as it's in the middle of a residential area around Nagoya station, but it may be worth it to search for it. It's got a bit of a modern diner feel (especially around lunch time), mixed with a comfortable, homey cafe and bar.
The food at lunchtime is centered more around asian flavors, but taking a look at the menu, the nighttime menu seems more Italian-like. I came for lunch today (open until 2pm for lunch), and chose something I've never seen before. The Kimchi cream pasta lunch (850円) came with onion soup, salad and a bread. The saltiness of the soup was a bit overly done, so it was difficult to taste the onion, and the salad was topped with a plain caesar dressing. I really enjoyed the crispy on the outside and soft, chewy inside baguette though.
The pasta was very mild in kimchi heat, but the flavor of the Korean staple was felt even though all that cream. The thickly cut pork and the katsu bonito flakes match well with the sauce and the spaghetti.
For 150円 extra, you can add a drink. Their espresso machine coffee is fresh, so you'd be safe to order it; you won't get reheated drip coffee.
