Like many of my generation, I discovered sushi through all-you-can-eat restaurants, but over time I've become a fan of à la carte restaurants. When you can, spending a little more for quality and attention to detail almost always pays off. Sushi-ii was further confirmation of this idea: the quality here is truly high, and the attention to detail is evident both on the palate and the eye.
The 20-piece takeout box I ordered and the two tuna tartares were perfect. The tartares, in particular, impressed me: the ultra-fresh fish, cut into thick bites, highlighted the texture and quality of the raw material. The combinations are also interesting, in which ingredients uncommon in Japanese tradition—like caramelized onion or almond—add a Mediterranean touch that seems to recur in other dishes on the menu.
Tommaso's welcome was a plus: it made the wait pleasant and allowed me to linger over various details of the place, whose relaxed atmosphere is crafted with elegant sobriety. For a moment, I almost changed my mind about taking out—but perhaps that's for the best: I have one more reason to return and be surprised.
