Hoseki In Firenze

Pleasant atmosphere, good service, and average food. Perhaps too expensive for the overall quality.

For me the best Japanese in Florence.

An extraordinary experience at HOSEKI, a Japanese restaurant that truly stands out in every way. The quality of the ingredients is simply excellent: each dish reflects attention, respect for tradition, and a meticulous search for the finest ingredients. The setting is refined, elegant, and relaxing, with a refined atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome and takes you on a true journey through traditional Japanese cuisine, reinterpreted with great intelligence and style. The service is impeccable: professional, attentive, always present but never intrusive, a sign of top-notch management. The dishes are an explosion of flavor: the flambéed Gunkan are simply fabulous, intense, and enveloping; the HOSEKI Maki Gold is a true golden dream, beautiful to look at and sublime to savor. The real highlight, however, is the Black Udon: a squid ink carbonara with Norcia pork cheek, eggs, shrimp, and katsuobushi that borders on perfection, incredible in its balance, creaminess, and depth of flavor. The price is absolutely fair for the quality offered, in fact it's a pleasant surprise: not excessive, more than fair considering the excellence of the cuisine, service, and atmosphere. HOSEKI isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience to be relived over and over again. Highly recommended for those seeking authenticity, quality, and a gastronomic experience of the highest level. 🍣✨

Favorite place in all of Italy! Cannot recommend enough! Best sushi, best meals, have had almost everything on the menu and cannot say I had a single bad meal.

New Year's Eve dinner. My wife and I chose the tasting menu, and it was a great experience. Eight courses of truly delicious seafood. The seafood carbonara was excellent. Very friendly staff and prompt service. Recommended.

Simply EXCEPTIONAL! Refined, delicious, an incredible variety of dishes, beautiful tableware, as beautiful as it is tasty! I highly recommend it. Miso soup, eel fried rice, maki rolls... a delight and very generous portions! Lounge atmosphere with soft lighting. The only slight drawback is that they serve the dishes at the pace they are being prepared. My husband had already started his dinner when I was finally served... nevertheless, it gave me the opportunity to nibble from his plate 😉... friendly servers, a very good time for us!

An à la carte sushi restaurant offering a wide selection of traditional Japanese dishes, including Italian fusions. The toro nigiri are definitely worth trying, they're truly delicious, although my wife did find a fishbone inside. The quality is very high, although my expectations were perhaps higher. We'll give it another try.

Ordered 2 rolls of sushi (differently) along with Ebi Tempura. It was very good and fresh! Haven’t had good sushi in a while until now! Thank you!

If you like westernized sushi, this place is fine enough but I wouldn't choose Hoseki if you're looking for an authentic experience. I would especially advise you to avoid the ramen. It was basically a Kikkoman miso soup packet with linguine and some extra fixings added in. What they called "char su" was just some super dry and thin pork cutlets. Also look at these "ramen eggs". LOOK AT THEM.

It's been years since I've eaten Japanese food, but we were really happy with this experience. The food was excellent, as was the service and the atmosphere. We'll be back very often.
