Fujiyama In Montesilvano

30/03/2025: Really excellent sushi in the center of Pescara. Super professional, friendly and kind staff in a private and customer-friendly environment. Not the classic you can it. The dishes are presented with a certain refinement and made with selected ingredients. Obviously given the quality the price is higher than average but it's worth a try.

21/03/2025: Unfortunately the dinner did not live up to expectations. The place is certainly very elegant. The raw dishes were good, with one course in particular truly delicious (I attach photos), but the hot dishes disappointed: certainly not from Gambero Rosso. The vegetable gyoza were bland and a little dry. Even the choice to serve two tartares and no type of sashimi is unbalanced. The service started well, with the staff - very kind - taking our jackets and pouring us water, but it took a downward turn as the evening progressed. Furthermore, unfortunately, they were not sufficiently knowledgeable about the dishes or the tasting methods. The pairings must accompany the courses and the glasses must be served in conjunction with the dish chosen by the chef, to allow the combination to be better appreciated. Unfortunately, this care was lacking, penalizing the overall experience. Finally, the last course was imposed on us as dessert because "the chef decides that the tasting ends with dessert". Ok, but being a group we had chosen tastings with a different number of courses (previously communicated via email) and some received dessert, others not. In high-level places, it is good practice to specify what the tasting includes and, above all, not to impose courses without notice. It wasn't a totally negative experience, but for the price paid (high, higher than the average price of an excellent gastronomic tasting) one expected a much more refined experience that lived up to the name. Maybe in the future we will give it another chance, but for now we cannot recommend it with the same enthusiasm with which it was recommended to us.
