Sãomaki In Aversa

Party of three, we shared two platters (30 and 20 pieces) of sushi, couple drinks. Everything was really good from food to service

We had a great experience last night at Saomaki. The restaurant is located near St. Paul's Cathedral in a very elegant setting. Inside, the restaurant is very nice; the concept is that of a more refined izakaya, and the Japanese decor, with all the wood furnishings, conveys this impression. We started with a small entree featuring revisited dragon fruit and tempura shrimp (€13), with a truly dense and crispy tempura. We opted for a sushi dinner, taking advantage of the 30-piece mix (€50). Everything was perfect except the warm nigiri made with crispy rice, which was a bit too crunchy for my taste. We also tried individual nigiri of amberjack (€7) and salmon (€6). The piranha gyoza (€16) with their incredibly tender picanha filling are truly unique. Don't be fooled, they're not an appetizer; in fact, they're included as main courses because they're generous and truly substantial. One plate for two is more than enough to enjoy them, and in my opinion, I couldn't have eaten more. We washed it all down with a bottle of Ribolla Gialla (€30). We finished the dinner with dulce de Leiche and pistachio cheesecake (€6 and €7). A wonderful evening in a splendid location with excellent food. At €148, I think the quality/price ratio is well respected. I can't wait to go back.

The dishes and ingredients are always of the highest quality and attention to detail. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

The best sushi in Aversa. We went there, and the atmosphere was refined, quiet, and relaxing. Everything was refined, from the unconventional menu to the ambiance, and even the takeout service was spotless and inviting. The staff was extremely kind and helpful.

The menu is basic but delicious. The ingredients are high-quality, and gluten-free options are also a priority. I recommend dining outside during the warmer months, with a view of the bell tower.

Hands down the best sushi in Aversa and the surrounding area

Finalmente un angolo reale di Giappone vicino casa! Personale gentilissimo, locale bellissimo, noi tra le varie sale (tutte belle) abbiamo optato per quella, forse, più tradizionale tutta in legno con pannelli tipici e il bancone in stile izakaya dove solitamente lo chef realizza i suoi manicaretti. Ci hanno portato come entreè delle buonissime chips di riso poi abbiamo preso l'edamame, super freschi, un mix di rolls uno più buono dell'altro con una birra artigianale e infine una celestiale cheesecake accompagnata dal sakè di prugne davvero buonissimo! Ci siamo trovati benissimo e ci torneremo sicuramente!

Non siamo amanti del giapponese, abbiamo provato questo locale attratti dalla cucina fusion. Locale bello, sicuramente orientale, che si divide in piu' sale interne e posti all'esterno. Abbiamo preso diversi piatti. Abbiamo preso TIRADITO, polpo alla brace molto sottile di ottima consistenza e accompagnato piacevolmente dalle salse. Poi EBI SANDO, ottimo pane morbido con gamberi e ottime salse, solo la confettura di pomodoro era leggermente prevalente ma ci è piaciuto molto. Poi KUSHI MIX, spiedini alla brace di ricciola porchettata con gambero davvero ottima, branzino delicato e buono, classico il gambero da sgusciare, il polpo lo abbiamo trovato troppo calloso. Poi abbiamo preso un rolls TONNO TONNATO, buono, saporito, sempre buono il pesce. Infine i GYOZA con la carnee salsa di parmigiano. Fatti bene, croccanti, buona anche la carne. Conto di 90 euro con tre calici di vino. Giusto per quello che abbiamo mangiato, non sono piatti molto pieni ma non esci affamato. E' stata una piacevole serata sicuramente

Food was better than "all you can eat" spots. Had a great time and service was very good as well.
