Do You Like Italian Food?

Jared finally asks Liz out.
That is the whole problem.

Do You Like Italian Food? is a short, slice-of-life, romantic visual novel about a shy college student, a coffee shop crush, and finding the nerve to ask for a date.

Jared is only supposed to be stopping by for caffeine. Instead, he keeps finding himself drawn back by a smile, a little conversation, and the hope that maybe this could become more than part of his routine.

So, he tries to ask her out like a normal person.
