As we walked in the owner stated they did not have "space." We were the only customers there at 7. It appears he did not want to serve guests based on racial appearance, or possibly guests with children. When confronted about why he wouldn't seat us, in Japanese, he became uncomfortable and gave us a business card. No business should treat customers this way in 2024.

I've been here several times and each one deserves a 5* for its amazing taste and simplicity…read more Self service, you order and you wait for your sushi to be express made. The Miso soup is homemade, so it's completely something else compared to the other restaurants. The chef, a true Japanese in love with Florence, is in the open kitchen, showing his art to everyone, making delicious specialties like the frittata and marinated anchovies. Prices are really fair, wine is included in the 15 € menu, together with the soup and a plate of nigiri (sometimes if you get lucky it's mozzarella di bufala's nigiri day, try and see for yourself). If you can, BOOK a table, it's quite always full and the place is as big as a mouse's nest.

I mean you don't go to Italy for sushi, but after a week there and needing some rice to settle my stomach this made sense. I got the Teri chicken and baked salmon rolls. Interesting take and not at all bad. The seating is hidden inside for a nice garden view. Very quiet and nice with trees and vines. I can imagine it being a nice place to study for all the international students nearby. The server/cashier was very nice and friendly. I'd go back again if in town and wanting something a little different.

However, with the option to order anything and as much as you want from the menu (excluding beverages and desserts) the 23€ all you can eat is a great deal!

The menu is almost entirely sushi and roll based, lacking some of the cheaper basics in favour of more complex items with impressive displays. Decor is dark and modern, and is wearing badly, though for now looks sufficiently fancy to warrant the high price. Bottom line: the food is good, the price on the high end, this is a place for a special occasion and / or to be seen, more for groups than as a couple.

On our first day in Florence we were pretty…read moretired of the travels and my husband was getting over Italian food as we had come from Rome then Sorrento the to Florence. He was excited when I told him about a sushi place on the same block. I made rezzies at 7pm (when they open) and we were the first ones there. So early that the staff was still eating their dinner. We read the service could be slow so we were happy to be the only ones there and luckily Italians eat late because and hour in this restaurant was packed and then I can understand the slower service. Luckily we did a majority of our eating before it got busy so we got a good amount of food. As a couple we filled out the entire front page and a a few boxes in the back that I think we scared the owners. The AYCE is the obvious way to go. If you eat even 4 to 5 items you're already at the cost. I'm not a sushi eater but I did make my way through the prawn teppanyaki which was delicious and the shrimp tempura! The tempura batter is perfect! Not overly battered and thick and I ordered multiple of this dish. My husband said the rolls were pretty mediocre but the hand rolls were great! We actually started to feel guilty because we were eating our weight in food so we decided to order dessert so we could "spend" money that wasn't in the AYCE. The dessert was a no for me unfortunately. My husband got the green tea ice cream and it was icy and I had this lemon thing which I thought was supposed to be like a sorbet but it was a drink which I saw the server shake up from a huge bottle and pour it into a glass and mixed it with a straw... definitely could have passed on this. We're from California so we know good sushi and even amazing okakase experiences but for this price, it wasn't bad! My husband even tried to get us to come back again but we'd keep thinking we scared the owners if they had to see us again.

If you're looking for a great Japanese restaurant in Florence, look no further than Zushi. While…read morethis is a chain located throughout Italy, the ambience, food selection, and service are all wonderful. In this particular location in the west end of Florence on Viale Belfiore, some of the tables are sunken, giving the impression that you are eating in a garden while ethereal Silk Road lounge music provides that added layer of chill while enjoying one of their playful sushi rolls or perhaps a bowl of ramen. The service is attentive and sweet, often making sure you have everything you need without being intrusive. All in all, it's a great spot for a casual night out with family or friends. I highly recommend Zushi!
