AALTO Part Of IYO In Milano

A unique experience. Ancient flavors and dishes prepared with love and art. Seasonal delicacies, impeccable service. We felt at home and cared for by everyone. Japanese cuisine that tastes ancient and pure. An incredible blend of tradition and modernity. The elegant, quiet atmosphere allowed us to enjoy an experience far from the usual restaurant noise. An experience that caresses the soul.

A memorable experience: we tried the chef's tasting menu, and every dish was top-notch. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant, enhanced by impeccable service without being stuffy (in fact, I found all the staff very approachable, yet professional).

Sublime lunch, not for everyone, high quality food, look at the photos to make it quicker, top, €110 total for two with two first courses and a second course to give you an idea

It was my first Michelin star restaurant, must say one of the best experiences one can wish to have, the food was mostly to die for, just amazing, the sauces were out of the world, the fish as well, they have a variety of Sake and cocktails, the service was excellent. We took a fixed menu which was costumaized to each one of us with our dietary issues/intolerance. We had a perfect evening, lovely food and good time.

Good food, with some dishes above average but others really just average, which is not what you would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. There was also very little attention to detail. My partner told them he was going to propose tonight, and they wrote “Happy Anniversary” on the desserts. It’s not our anniversary.

🇮🇹 Iyo Kaiseiki - Iyo Kaiseki 🌟 1 MICHELIN Star - 1 Michelin Star 🍴 Japanese, Sushi - Japanese Food, Sushi 🎗️ For those visiting Milan and looking for a taste of something different from Italian, we recommend Iyo Kaiseki, a renovated Japanese kaiseki restaurant from the former AALTO restaurant. Located at Piazza Alvar Aalto 9N02 in the Porta Nuova district, it stands out with its modern skyscrapers. The interior, on the other hand, combines stone, wood, and glass, maintaining a simple yet warm and luxurious atmosphere. Another corner of the restaurant also features an Omakase sushi counter, under the concept of "Japanese-style sushi." "Restaurant within a restaurant" prepared by Master Masashi Suzuki, with limited seating. 📃 喙料吆啷おまかせメニュー (MENU DELLO CHEF) (140 €) Small bites KOBASINI Small bites Servings MUKOUZUKE Assorted sashimi (a selection of fresh, row fish) Yakimono YAKIMONO Grilled dish of the day Grilled items AGEMONO Fried dish 寿司 SUSHI Daily sushi selection 菓子 KASHI DESSERT Dessert of the day 📃 à la carte Iron on fire (12 €) HOSOMAKI TEKKA Tuna Fillet 📌 Score: 👍 Standard Japanese restaurant in Milan Food (Culinary Skills & Flavors): 13.5/20 Wine (Wines): ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value for Money: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Technique: ⭐️⭐️ Chef's Identity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍 Visit: Mar 2025 🚗 Parking: Piazza Einaudi Car Park | APCOA Parking 💰 Price: 50-180 € 🧥 Dress Code: Smart Casual

We booked an hour before arriving. The atmosphere was very refined and elegant. We were offered the Kaiseki menu (usually made to order) because someone had cancelled. It was a very positive experience, both for the variety of dishes offered and the quality of the ingredients. The dessert deserves special mention, with its varied textures, expertly and harmoniously blended throughout. The dinner was definitely worth the expense.

I felt like in the movie set “lost in translation” when I first arrived in this Michelin star Japanese restaurant, which reminded me of my trip in Osaka many years ago. Really worth the visit and the experience in many ways regarding the dishes on the set menu I had choose including a charcoal grilled Wagyu beef. Loved also the caramelised pork served with a slightly spiced sauce & condiment dish then I had a very nice sashimi dish with 3 différents fish including tuna & Italian shrimp. The service was excellent by a very good Italian chef de rang and her Asian collègue. I dine by myself but the atmosphere was busy (quite noisy) and all sorts of clients from international travellers to Italian family and business people. I didn’t feel lonely at all but the time fled so fast . Great selection of japanese beer. If you want to experience the meal in front the Japanese chefs you will have to book well in advance . Definitely a serious top class experience for once not based on Italian food over my trip in Milan. Well done team.

Exceptional ingredients, excellent service, beautifully presented and delicious dishes. The calamari is amazing. The sommelier is brilliant at suggesting wine and sake pairings. Definitely worth a try.

A unique experience!!! Every detail was taken care of... excellent products... punctual and perfect service.
