Utamaro - Sushi Bar & Restaurant In Manfredonia

17/04/2025: We went to Hokkaido for lunch and it was a super experience! The sushi was very fresh, all delicious and also special, with different combinations than usual. The service is top notch, super kind and attentive, they really make you feel at home. Welcoming and relaxed environment. We will definitely be back, highly recommended!

08/04/2025: THE FALL OF A MYTH I've been going to this sushi place since I was 15 — so you know, I'm 22 now. In the three-year period from 2019 to 2022 I undoubtedly considered it the best sushi in the city. Unfortunately, however, things change. And this is also demonstrated by the number of people who frequent it on Saturdays for lunch: once upon a time they were forced to make you sit outside due to how many people there were, today the clientele has practically halved, also thanks to the growing competition in the city. But the real cause of this decline is quality. Once the food was fresh and delicious, but now it often happens that some dishes do not taste as they should, and in some cases are even unpleasant. The biggest problem, however, is that this sushi has never updated. It continued to offer eight-piece portions, despite the fact that by 2025 practically all Japanese restaurants will offer four-piece portions, which are much more convenient and accessible. The portions of eight prevent you from tasting many different dishes, and this severely penalizes the overall experience. The three stars could have been two, but I can't give such a low rating to a restaurant that in the past gave me perhaps the best sushi meals of my life. A real shame…
