"My wife and I visited this restaurant for lunch earlier today, with the intention of trying something different during our trip to this lovely region of the country. The restaurant has some positive aspects: it is spacious and well air conditioned, offering welcome respite to the afternoon heat. The shrimps in panko (gamberi in panko) were delicious and my beef with sancho pepper (manzo, verdure croccanti, fondo bruno e sancho pepper) was tender, even if the portion was quite small. However, there are several negative aspects to this restaurant which soured our experience, both literally and figuratively. The chicken yakitori taco (Tacos Pollo Yakitori) was dry and overcooked. The coup de grâce, though, was the poor quality of the uramaki, with the ebi mayo and goma both leaving a very unpleasant sour aftertaste. This was very unexpected, given that the restaurant prominently features sushi dishes in its menu. The owner 's responses to the negative reviews here, including to my wife 's review, are rude, condescending and dismissive, insinuating that their customers have only eaten at mediocre 'all you can eat ' sushi restaurants and lack the refined palate to judge the quality of their sushi. We have both eaten at a la carte sushi restaurants and sushi bars all over the world and have tried some of the freshest salmon in Norway and Scotland and we can confidently say that the uramaki was disappointing. Given the mix of positive and negative reviews on Google and TripAdvisor, I hope our experience was a one off and that others are more fortunate than we are when choosing to dine here. Edit: you 'll notice the (expected) condescending tone in their response below, despite mentioning having high quality salmon in countries where salmon is sourced from. Salmon can go bad, and rice can become stale for various reasons, regardless of its source. We are not the first to point out problems with the fish, as indicated by some earlier reviews, and given the half hearted nature of their apology, we don 't expect to be the last."

After promising starter, the mains of tuna tartar crevette roman noodles lacked refine taste imagination. Can make much better at home with dame ingredients. Not one to repeat

Ruth
I usually don't write bad reviews, but this sushi was terrible the rice was sour and the salmon seemed not fresh, it was almost inedible and I couldn't finish the food, but it was also expensive given how bad this is
Carmelo
Among the Japanese restaurants, fusion is what can best express the essence of Japanese food, always great. the new entrance, renewed for some time makes the idea even better, and the interior decor is really well done.
Manuela
very elegant place, very professional staff, excellent quality food. a place that, however, must have a certain feeling and a certain target to attend it, for what you pay I am ocited with the empty stomach. But beautiful for you.
Ole
very relaxing and elegant atmosphere, the staff is super educated and very attentive in everything, you see that they put passion, you understand from how they keep us to explain the delicacies that they can offer, we also received an appetizer and a taste of sweets both offered from the house, I will definitely return!
