Superlative Japanese and Thai restaurant. Refined dishes, meticulous attention to detail, and excellent ingredients. The staff is friendly and helpful.
For sushi lovers, it's a sensory paradise. I ordered salmon and avocado tartare, huramaki, takoyaki fishballs, a sake no shimofuri, and for dessert, a salted caramel tart with caramelized strawberries and mango sorbet. Everything was delicious.

It may not be the best sushi I've ever eaten, but considering the price compared to other places, it's very reasonable. Good, but not wow.

Unforgettable lunch!
We were here with my family. Super relaxing atmosphere... fresh fish, non-sticky rice.
The scallop and otoro nigiri were top-notch!!
The spicy salmon uramaki was a mouth-watering explosion.
The wait staff were kind and professional.
A truly rare level of politeness.
Congratulations!!

For years, I've been going to Fugu with my family when we need a treat. Over time, the decor, the service, and above all, Ivan's expertise have only improved exponentially, making a dinner at Fugu a true reward after a tiring week. Behind every dish, from edamame to desserts, lies the skill of a team that takes you by the hand and takes you on a journey through Asia. The service is fast and attentive, especially considering the time it takes to prepare each dish from scratch. I lived for many years in Veneto and just as many in Rome, but no one has ever come even close to Fugu's level (the pad thai is SPECTACULAR).

A lovely evening with friends. Excellent location in the heart of Lecce, excellent food, top-notch service. The price was fair (though slightly higher than average) considering the quality of the food and the variety of the menu.

Ivan has achieved something rare: bringing authentic, profound, and contemporary Japanese cuisine to Lecce, without compromise. Each dish embodies research, technique, and absolute respect for the raw materials, with a perfect balance between tradition and personal vision. The sushi is precise, clean, and exciting, with distinct and harmonious flavors that demonstrate great expertise and sensitivity. The selection of fish, attention to detail, and consistency ensure the experience always lives up to expectations. The Gambero Rosso Tre Chopsticks award is more than deserved: Fugu is not just a restaurant, but a true reference point for those seeking quality, identity, and authentic passion. Congratulations to Ivan for his journey, dedication, and courage to always aim high 👏🔥
An absolute excellence in the Salento gastronomic panorama. 💪🏻

The last bastion of good sushi in Puglia. It's hard to find anything better. I appreciated the attention to detail and the friendliness of the staff.

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place because we'd heard good things about it, and now we understand why! The staff is always smiling, attentive, and kind—from grabbing my jacket to asking at the right moments if everything was to our liking. The service is clean, and they're truly sweet and kind! The atmosphere is very relaxing, especially if you sit by the window and see the city outside. The food is really good; we tried everything, and the quality is the first thing you notice. The shrimp and raw fish had the scent of the sea, and even the vegetarian sushi was delicious. Truly excellent. It's certainly not just any place, and the sushi à la carte is priced fairly for what you get. The difference in quality compared to other places is definitely noticeable! We prefer to spend a little more (but again, always within the range of what's offered) and eat good, fresh sushi!
