Man I love this chapter so much, it's clearly about Saizeriya (the Italian-esque family restaurant chain), if the name isn't clear enough. The title page gives it away, only and I mean ONLY Saizeriya have those foods exactly look like that in the whole Japan.
This one is soo true, it even considered one of the best place for affordable wine drinking eating out place. I did experienced it by myself, ordered 2 litres (!) of red and white wine in total for my solo birthday party, which then later knocked me up so hard and made me throw up in the restaurant's toilet. They also have interesting wines beside the standard red and wine, and still considered very cheap.
Also just like on the very last page, it's actually so cheap. It even considered affordable and within reach of high schoolers' budget.

Thank you for the TL folks! Great redrawing as always.
What are gusdo, gura, and pami drinking? My phone wants to autocorrect pami to panic which is funny but probably not correct.

Two liters holy shit. That's almost three standard bottles of wine. Props, also maybe don't repeat that.

That's actually cool info. ngl We didn't notice that it's an actual place ( makes sense cuz it almost seems like an ad. Really thought it was a lot of bullshit, but your experience proves me wrong )
Hope you don't mind if I put your comment in the TL notes

Yep. This chapter is a definite reference to Saizeriya, and yes, you can get pretty hammered for a decent outlay there. Just don’t take anyone with remotely Italian heritage there. Just the idea of explaining what a “Doria” is would probably be…bad.
When it came to getting fed and wasted cheaply at a chain my first choice would be something like a mug of 檸檬堂 lemon chuhi
with Kushikatsu Daruma (二度漬け禁止!!) or Kirin with takoyaki from Gindaco.
As for Gusdo, Gura and Pamiyan (the name is on the side)?
That would be Gusto (casual family restaurant chain), Kura (conveyor belt sushi) and Bamiyan (Chinese family restaurant chain).
Gusto and Bamiyan both belong to the Skylark group - they run a large chunk of Japan's fast casual places like Tomato and Onion, Jonathan and Shinpachi Shokudo (personal favorite of mine and very recently acquired).
As a family restaurant Gusto is well known, but not always well regarded...at least I find Royal Host and Denny's to be a better choice.

Kinda expected her to have an encounter with "bad customer service" but finding out it was just some misunderstanding

According to Japaneat, the ones with "bad customer service" reviews often have the best food, especially if they have been operating for a while. More often than not, the "bad customer service" is that the owner doesn't greet you when you enter...
Not always a reliable metric. I had experienced a ramen shop at Asakusabashi that had only a single staff member (she also ran the kitchen). The service was bad and the food was meh at best.

i get checking reviews are helpful but it's hard to trust opinions online versus irl, like how some places have a consistently good score but the actual details on the bad reviews are concerning, maybe if it's an employees mistake or something happened to where the health inspector got involved and made them change things/do better
It's possible she doesn't have any other clothes but unless it's considered rude to keep on a jacket inside, i'm surprised she doesn't 'dress down'/have more low key clothes like how she had the hat for the last grilled fish restaurant
That is a ton of food, i'm surprised she wouldn't have to worry about weight gain but japan's pretty healthy overall
Makes sense if a foodie manga name drops an irl place (tho sometimes it's censored) but other than it being "this is a popular chain in jp but foreigner readers might not know", i'd expect some author afterward to show pics/ a map too unless they only do so if they specifically get paid extra by them versus "i've been here once so i'll do a story about it" in a semi autobiographical way
I wonder if there's been JP youtubers/mukbangers taking any italian friends/collaborating with italian creators and have them reacting to the 'neapolitan' spaghetti

Well, you could actually get very decent Italian food (both Northern and southern cuisines) in Japan if you really want to, so it’s not like you’ll starve your Italian friends. It’s just that it’ll be stupid expensive if they expect to eat like the home country.
The challenge here will be to introduce the yoshoku derivatives of Italian classics and explore why they hit the Japanese soul in a specific way, and whether it works for the Italian palette as well. Napolitan pasta is basically like a western version of yakisoba but with sweet elements, and Doria is really like an Okayu cousin that’s like a risotto/alfredo hybrid (but not really).
An even more fun collab will be to take a bunch of folks from, say, Milan, Rome or Naples to Spajiro (a popular mini-chain mostly in Tokyo but with locations in Nagoya), order them a few dishes there and see what they think - would they compare bottarga pasta to mentaiko, or mushroom tagliatelle to butter shoyu pasta with maitake?

Never expected to read "bottarga" on the Mangadex comments. Most of Italy frowns on too much sweet in their savory, but in Sicily they throw raisins in bloody everything - I'm sure you'd find a lot of crossover hits in both directions.
