Azabu10 In Milano

Since discovering this place, I've had a hard time appreciating other sushi restaurants in Milan! The experience is truly unmissable: the guys at azabu10 have incredible knowledge and attention to every detail, from the choice of fish to the presentation. You can sense their passion, technique, and respect for Japanese tradition, but with a personal touch that makes each dish unique.

Drawn by social media and the constant promotions I saw, I decided to book. A single menu of about 25 courses, including dessert, cost €158 excluding drinks. The raw ingredients were wow, but the dishes, about 7-9, were truly unforgettable—too few out of the 25 total. The other dishes were good, however, but the chef's explanations were sometimes much more detailed than the final flavor. The atmosphere was beautiful, intimate. Table for 10. The only flaw of the evening was the drinks: they offered to pair the wine/sake tasting with the courses, but there was no real pairing. Depending on when we finished our glass, a new drink was brought (so there was no careful consideration in pairing the dishes). In fact, we asked and were told to let ourselves be guided. If I remember correctly, we spent about 60 euros each to add the tasting. Finally, we were offered a bitter aftertaste. We chose a Japanese whiskey (very good, mind you), but without showing us the after-dinner price list, we found ourselves with an extra €54 on our bill (€27 per glass). Was it our mistake too, not asking for the price? Maybe, but if you have prices like that on the menu, I think it's fair to point that out to the customer and not just ask if we'd like an after-dinner drink… The wait staff was very young, friendly, and knowledgeable. Overall, a good experience, but some things could be improved.

I was drawn to this restaurant primarily through social media, partly due to my curiosity about the new omakase menu. Some dishes were interesting, but overall, the experience didn't quite live up to my expectations. The service was attentive to some extent, but during the second sitting (with the counter change and the arrival of new customers), there was some confusion, which inevitably affected the flow of the dinner.

Writing reviews isn't my forte, in fact, I almost never do them. But this omakase experience struck me so deeply that I have one thing to say.... Treat yourself and try it. Sublime.

An intimate restaurant with a Tokyo-style design: the counter overlooks open-view cells for aging the fish, and every detail is meticulously crafted. It feels like being at a small chef's table seating 10, ideal for a shared experience. The Omakase experience is unmissable! The dishes blend Japanese techniques like Edomae and the dry-aging of Mediterranean fish. The team is young, passionate, and engaging: Chef Andrea Arcieri personally explains each course, delivering a true gastronomic ritual. The selection of natural wines and sake is recommended by sommelier Yuzan Tada Baldwin, with surprising pairings. Perfect for those seeking a sensory and creative journey, not a traditional sushi dinner. If you're curious and ready to trust the chef, prepare yourself for a high-level Milanese experience.

Well done! Behind every dish lies a lot of study, technique, sacrifice, but above all passion and incredible experience. Truly well done!

An unforgettable experience, an Omakase dinner full of surprises. The guys who run the business are highly knowledgeable and truly passionate. The quality of the ingredients and the service are impeccable. I recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in a completely creative and innovative culinary experience!

Excellent, high-end Japanese-Pugliese cuisine. A good selection of dry-aged fish. A true sensory experience, tasty and satisfying. The ingredients are top-quality. A good selection of international wines and sake, with refined and far from predictable offerings. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is surprising, particularly the resin tables, adorned with fish bones and olive wood like fossils. The prices are reasonable considering the overall quality of the menu and its execution (the choice of wine and sake plays a key role, as always). In short, definitely recommended, it deserves five stars, and I will definitely be back.

Everything was perfect, highly recommended experience!

An extraordinary experience at Azabu10! We chose the more traditional 25-course omakase, and I can say without exaggeration that it was one of the most memorable dinners I've ever had. Each dish was a small masterpiece, meticulously crafted and perfectly balanced, with truly exceptional ingredients. The feeling is of being accompanied on a meticulously crafted journey, where nothing is left to chance. The venue is splendid, elegant yet welcoming, and the service was impeccable. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, and immediately puts you at ease: you can sense their great passion and genuine care for their guests. An experience I would truly recommend to anyone looking for something unique and unforgettable.
