18/06/2026: A fantastic experience, super welcoming staff, and personalized sushi!
If you're looking for a place in Cosenza to eat excellent sushi and feel pampered from start to finish, Ristorante Orientale all'Autostazione is a must-visit. I go there often, and it's always a sure thing.
The absolute highlight, besides the quality of the food, is the friendliness and incredible attention of the staff. They have a care for their customers that you can't find anywhere else: they're capable of surprising you by decorating your plates with personalized dedications written in sauces! They've served me unique dishes with beautiful inscriptions dedicated to my favorite band ("I LOVE LINKIN PARK"), heart-shaped compositions with cute sayings ("GIVE ME A GRR..."), and super kind messages that make your evening truly special. Their attention to detail and customer service makes you feel truly at home.
The menu is extensive and the food is truly exquisite:
Uramaki and Special Rolls: Outstanding, rich in flavor, with perfect combinations of creamy cheese, crunchy crumbs, and savory sauces. The heart-shaped ones are as beautiful to look at as they are delicious to eat.
Temaki: Large, full, and with super-crunchy seaweed. The fried inside is dry and very light.
Nigiri and Sashimi: The fish is fresh; the salmon and shrimp nigiri are perfectly cut and served beautifully on traditional boats.
Hosomaki: Delicious and artistically presented on wooden boards, arranged in the shape of a flower, complete with a thank you written on the plate.
The place is clean, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is super fast despite the quality and care they put into the plating. Unbeatable value for money.
A well-deserved five stars for the food and ten stars for the hospitality and originality of the staff. Highly recommended!

Only for dinner, not for lunch.
It would be bad. Ok.
