Kyoto In Aversa

22/02/2025: We had lunch at UMĀMI with my girlfriend. She wanted to please me by testing a high-end sushi address with me. The restaurant is very charming, very quiet, very cozy. I was charmed by the decor. The server was great, very attentive, very professional, very dynamic. We opted for the 40 pieces of surprise sushi made and chosen by the chef. We were amazed by the choice of sushi made by the chef. Our large plate of sushi arrived, very very pretty plate full of sushi with lots of flavors and colors. We already had lots of stars in our eyes. There were quite a few sushi that we would never have thought to choose, we were pleasantly surprised. We really liked the sushi, some more than others. The sushi is super pretty, well made, impressive quality. The quality of the raw salmon and tuna is excellent, thick slices full of flavor! They melt in the mouth. The sea bream sushi is delicious. All the sushi are elaborate, full of flavors in the mouth, a mixture of ingredients bringing a beautiful harmony. We are delighted as much by the visual as by the taste. However, I would like to point out that the prices are very high although the quality is there. It nevertheless remains a very nice culinary experience, we really enjoyed lunch at UMĀMI. UMĀMI is undoubtedly one of the best sushi places I have tried anywhere in the world.

21/12/2024: This evening I went to umami with my girlfriend, a restaurant where I had already been at the end of August and found myself enjoying it. The restaurant is in Corso Trieste, in the city centre, well furnished, small, welcoming, friendly staff and an elegant atmosphere. We ordered two glasses of chardonnay (very good), a trio of tartare, a 20-piece set and two Nutella cheesecakes. Everything was truly perfect, good wine, exceptional sashimi, let's not talk about sushi, very fresh tartare and also very good dessert unlike many sushi restaurants. The sore point was the service, in the sense that the staff was helpful and kind but the times were biblical (and I'm talking about our case because I saw that tables next to ours were handled very quickly). We arrived at 9pm and the trio of tartare arrived exactly 50 minutes after ordering. To have the sushi we waited another 35 minutes and by the time we ate the dessert it was 11pm. Clearly spending two hours in this restaurant is nothing but a pleasure but one can well understand that waiting so long between one dish and another is not it is very pleasant. In any case, I don't feel like giving less than 5 stars because I'm sure that this thing only happened with us and only tonight, and since we really had a great time, I don't feel like penalizing a restaurant that truly deserves it. If you are looking for à la carte sushi in Caserta and its province, I wouldn't think twice about booking here (and I recommend you book because it's very popular). I hope to return soon.
