Prato Toscano

**Proto Toscano** is the fifth restaurant of the game. Proto Toscano unlocks at XP level 13.

## Restaurant background

This restaurant centers around an Italian fine-dining outlet that primarily serves salads, soups and pasta. The chef available at this restaurant, besides Gordon and yourself, is Chef Giuseppe Ottimo.

The layout of this restaurant is quite difficult. There are three prep stations; the Pasta Station, the Salad Station (which functions in the same way as the salad stations in Pizza Paisan), and the Combo Station (which functions in the same way as the Pie Maker in Delish 'n' Chips, with all of them located on a boat in the middle of the restaurant.

Next to the bin, there are two ovens, each on top of each other, which are located to the right of three seasoning stations, unlocked in chronological order, Oil and Balsamic, Spinach and Garlic, which functions in the same way as the stations in Pizza Paisan and Lucky Langoustine.

Next to the seasoning stations are two soup pots, which functions similarly to the Boiler in Lucky Langoustine, a Fishing Rod, used for catching Mackerel and a Bread Flinger. How the player uses the Bread Flinger is they wait for the bread to be ready, then they tap it, which results in bread being delivered to all seated customers which increases their patience. It is widely considered to be the first "support item" in the game.

As for the eating counter itself, the layout changes depending on whether the player includes a VIP guest in an episode. Usual episodes contains only 3 eating space whereas an episode with a VIP guest has 5 spaces.

This restaurant has a similar gameplay as Pizza Paisan but it is more difficult to finish the orders. Hence, doing dishes simultaneously to serve the customers. Since most of the recipes in the menu must pass through two to three preparing stations, it will take a lot of time to serve the food. The player might lose a customer for that reason. Not only the player has to handle that problem, but player must also keep a eye on seasoning since most of product menu has a seasoning part. Player may ruin the food and start over again when he or she fails to do the action properly.

**In Season 1, Episode 5** , Player will unlock Bread Flinger , The first **support item** in the restaurant of the game. It will help raise customer's patience by 20% when using it. Player can use them anytime that player wants.

**In Season 1, Episode 6**, Player will unlock the Salad station, unlike one in the Pizza Paisan restaurant, player needs to pick ingredients to place on the Salad station to start preparing the food. This can waste a lot of time for later seasons.

**In Season 2**, player will unlock the Pasta station, which works the same way as the Salad station.

**In Season 3**, player will unlock the Combo station , which is the same as the one in **Delish 'n' Chips** Restaurant. Player needs to place 2 ingredients in Combo station in order to make it start preparing the food.

**In Season 4**, player will unlock the **Fishing Rod**. Player needs to tap the fishing rod first and wait for the ingredient, but you can't tap fishing rod again **until you've used all of the fishes!**

- As soon as you unlock the **fishing rod**, **remember to tap it first for EVERY EPISODE** to lessen the time used for waiting when playing the game.

**In Season 6** , it is recommended to upgrade all preparing stations to maximum level, upgrade food quality at least 60% for increased chance of earning 3 stars in this season (we also recommend that when serving two to three customers, apply the **Swipe to collect** action when collecting coins to fill in the **Frenzy Meter**).

**In Season 6, Episode 10**, in order to increase chance of getting 5 stars, the player has to upgrade the food to over 90%, use "**Acquacotta**" prep dish, upgrade decor for extra customer. (Also, make sure that you serve all customers)
