An anime adaptation of Atsuko Watanabe's Piacevole! manga has been green-lit, with the title Piace: Watashi no Italian ( Piacevole! My Italian Cooking ). The announcement did not specify the anime's format, such as television, original video anime, or film. The project has opened a website and Twitter account.

Hiroaki Sakurai ( Kodocha , Di Gi Charat , Maid Sama! ) is directing the anime at Zero-G, with Watanabe herself drawing the anime's character designs. Reiji Kasuga ( Sasami: Magical Girls Club , Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu , GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class ) is credited as art director.

Crunchyroll licensed the manga in April, and the first volume is available digitally in English. Crunchyroll describes the manga:

High schooler Morina Nanase starts work at Trattoria Festa, an Italian restaurant filled with various and sundry quirky characters...and where through its unique cuisine, she will begin to mature as a person.

Watanabe ( Heavy Object , Hanayamata ) has worked as an animator and character designer on numerous anime projects before starting Piacevole! in the Comico manga app in 2013 (under the pen name Nab_At.) Taibundou released the first compiled book volume last September.
