...then you might like Ristorante Paradiso add

Notable Similarities 1) Tone: Ristorante Paradiso and Red Garden have a similar relaxed mood that is felt as soon as the opening credits and then carries on throughout. A realistic style of art is shared, which helps set the tone of the series, as well. There no crazy-looking eyes that take up half of the face or exaggerated emotions. 2) Location: Red Garden and Ristorante Paradiso are both set in real and popular cities--Ristorante Paradiso in Rome, and Red Garden in New York City. Notable Differences 1) Age and gender: The characters in Ristorante Paradiso are all adults and mostly male, while Red Garden's main characters are high school girls. (*I think it's important to note that, even though the characters in Red Garden are in high school, there are no school uniforms, which may be a relief for fans of more mature and slowly paced anime who have had it with that whole scene.) 2) Plot: Ristorante Paradiso has a lighter plot with a romance angle, while Red Garden has a dark subject matter with a mystery angle.
