Azabu10 In Milano

I went to Azabu10 with my boyfriend on Tuesday, June 10th, and we booked the Traditional Nigiri Omakase (12 courses of exclusively fish nigiri with different aging times), to which we then added some à la carte dishes. What can I say? It lived up to expectations! A truly complete experience: from the cocktails, the welcome from the staff (just how I like them: friendly yet attentive and professional), to the explanation of how to eat nigiri and the tasting of the à la carte dishes that were astounding (the raviolaxo was unusual). The atmosphere was both relaxed and lively, as we were seated next to each other along with the other omakase guests, yet each couple/group had the opportunity to carve out their own space. In short, a great evening at a venue that amply demonstrates the commitment and creativity behind this fantastic project!

We had the Omakase Traditional Nigiri experience at Azabu10 over a weekend. Our expectations were high, and the food was met. The quality of the fish, ingredients, and culinary innovation make it a gem. The place is small but welcoming, with delightful background music. The service is friendly and pleasant. I should point out that there is no cover charge, but rather a 5% charge added to the final bill. I'm giving it 5 stars, even though I would have preferred more interaction with the Sushi Master during the experience. I would have liked more explanations about what we were eating, not just the name of the fish being served, which would have also lengthened the experience, which I found short. After the Omakase experience, you can continue the experience by choosing dishes from the à la carte menu. Excellent wine, sake, and drink list. I highly recommend this experience.

The perfect place if you want to spend €65 per person to sample eight nigiri and eat them in 30 minutes with loud music. We had booked the Omakase tasting available on Thursday, so we were well aware of the number of pieces that would be served. Unfortunately, no one told us it would take half an hour. We were on the 7:30 PM shift and arrived right on time, as requested in the various emails we'd received. The other group of five arrived half an hour late. During the half-hour wait, we weren't served anything (except the wine and water we ordered), and the experience began at 8:00 PM. The experience ended before 8:30 PM; the chef had to move so fast he was sweating. Furthermore, at 8:30 PM, they asked us to move to another station "to continue à la carte." Unfortunately, after this experience, our stomachs were closed, so we finished our wine and left. The food was also good (nothing earth-shattering) and we really liked the Galician rosé wine, but the music was really loud for a place where you dine and have a traditional Omakase experience.

Last Saturday, I returned to Azabu10 to participate in the "Tuna Electric Brunch," an omakase-style event where a real tuna was opened and prepared in front of the diners. The courses were divided between dry-aged tuna and freshly sliced ​​tuna: a unique experience, rich in authentic and surprising flavors. Andrea is a true industry professional and stands out for his constant search for the finest ingredients, as well as his in-depth knowledge of a cuisine that is still little-known to many, yet capable of exciting and surprising with every course. It was a truly special experience, one I recommend to everyone. And I can confidently say that it's absolutely worth visiting them even outside of special events like this, because the quality and experience remain excellent every time. An honorable mention also goes to the entire kitchen and dining room staff, impeccable in their attention, professionalism, and hospitality. Full marks.

A special place, everyone was very friendly, but the Red Mullet Butterfly at €65 was one of the worst dishes I've ever eaten. What a shame.

One of the best dinners I've ever had. I was worried the atmosphere would be too formal, but instead it was like going to dinner at a friend's house. Highly recommended ✅✅✅

A truly unique and sensory experience. The Omakase brunch is a short trip to Japan while staying in Milan. A 13-course tasting, each more delicious than the last. A variety of nighiri with contrasting flavors. The price is appropriate for the Omakase experience. The only flaw, in my opinion, is the excessively loud music. Sitting in the corner, right next to it, we couldn't hear the explanations from chef Andrea and his assistant very well.

What can I say? It's good, but... perhaps a little too much thought and attention to detail in the presentation of some (though not all, of course) dishes... for the price of the tasting menu, it would be a good idea to buy a plate warmer... tempura served on a cold plate is out of the question. The 15% service charge seems a bit excessive.

Omakase lunch at Azabu10: 10/10 We ate well and drank well, a feeling of well-being you take home and enjoy the next day. Time-consuming preparation, improvised service, humor and professionalism, a perfect format, all very authentic. Thank you!

Everything was delicious!! We'll repeat this experience in the evening.
