Murataya Trattoria Giapponese In Saronno

I'll start by saying I'm extremely skeptical of places serving foreign cuisine for two reasons: 1. They're popping up everywhere these days, and the quality is terrible. 2. As an Italian, I'm used to Italian flavors, and foreign ones are harder to stomach. BUT Murataya surprised me in a positive way!!! I went there last night and didn't find a single thing I didn't like. From the fried chicken to their soups, everything was delicious. I even really enjoyed the fried tofu dipped in broth (tofu is horrible if you don't know how to cook it). Considering the food, and considering the truly welcoming atmosphere (the bathrooms are spectacular), it was a wonderful experience... so much so that I want to go back!!! Congratulations!

EVERYTHING PERFECT! ✨ Welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent value for money. It feels like an authentic Japanese experience 🇯🇵 The food is amazing! I've been several times, and it's become my favorite Japanese restaurant ❤️ Highly recommended! 🫶🏼

We spent a pleasant evening at Murataya for a couple's dinner. The restaurant is cozy and intimate, so I recommend booking well in advance. We had a truly wonderful dining experience, one that stands out from all the fusion and all-you-can-eat restaurants in the area for its authenticity, a traditional à la carte restaurant. The food is incredibly fresh, and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The quality/price ratio was excellent, reflecting the flavor of the dishes and the quality of the ingredients used. It was truly a wonderful discovery, and we can't wait to return to try the rest of the menu.

You never forget your first time! It was truly a superlative experience, thanks to our friend Giorgio for taking us...

I loved it; the food was excellent: probably the best Japanese restaurant I've ever been to. The atmosphere was elegant, although I missed being able to see the chef at work, as the dishes were truly on another level. In my opinion, it would be even more beautiful aesthetically without the large window blocking the view of the kitchen. The fact that there are options for celiacs and vegetarians is a huge plus. The young chef brings a touch of enthusiasm and freshness that lightens the atmosphere, and I really appreciated it. The waiter who served us was probably very busy and a bit distracted: when we asked about the special of the day and said no because it contained an ingredient I couldn't eat, we still found ourselves charged for it without it being served. I didn't have any complaints out of elegance and respect, especially since the bill isn't brought to the table but is paid directly at the counter, and I don't think it's polite to check each item at that moment. Overall, an excellent experience. 5/5.

Very welcoming place and super helpful staff (my sister-in-law doesn't like raw fish, so they brought her a selection of cooked dishes). The strong point is definitely the excellent quality of the ingredients. Five stars is too few.

Very nice place and very good food.

Great experience, this is our third time back at Murataya. I highly recommend it for a different kind of Japanese experience!

Questo non è un semplice ristorante, è una esperienza. Lo chef che è anche proprietario ti accoglie e ti fa sentire incredibilmente a casa. Qui si può assaggiare la vera cucina giapponese (diversa da quella degli all you can eat) ma soprattutto puoi scoprire le tradizioni e la cultura giapponese.
