And if you haven't, Temakinho will seductively introduce you to wonderful Asian fusion. Think Japanese with a Brazilian twist. Then, just go. My wife and I just had a wonderful dinner at the one nearest the Duomo in Milan. There are others around that city, and in Florence, Formentera, Ibiza, London, Rome, and Turin as well. Generous portions. Delicious, creative combinations. (The bao, or soft Chinese-style bun with shrimp and too many other wonderful elements for me to remember, was a revelation.) Fresh ingredients across the board. From ceviches to sushi rolls, we were impressed. An impressive array of beverages, alcoholic and otherwise. Desserts ranging from cheesecake to a simple dish of delectable mango and papaya slices. Warm, efficient service, even for us non-speakers of Italian. And a comfortably otherworldly dining room, from the pink wallpaper to the tile-and-glass-topped dining table to the eclectic, genre- and era-spanning background music. A total sensory experience. There's a rumor that New York City, which used to have multiple branches of SushiSamba but now has none, might soon gain a Temakinho outpost. My wife and I hope it happens in time for our next trip to my former hometown. In the meantime, if you live near or plan a visit to any of the cities that have a Temakinho, consider yourself lucky -- and go.

Bottom line: the rolls are decent, atmosphere is perfect for date night, but for what you pay for, it's not worth it. Service at this location was terribly slow as well. I came on a Saturday night with 3 other girlfriends and we ordered a bunch to share- - Salmon tartare - Pastel de pescado misto - Yakisoba nikkei noodles - Poke bowl - Crocante roll - Salmon gostado roll Don't order the yakisoba noodles-- they were bland and had boiled veggies on top. The rolls are probably the only thing worth ordering on the menu. My friend had raved about the salmon tartare so I went in with really high expectations, but I really was not all that impressed (albeit it was beautifully presented). It lacked flavor and spice. I also tried the mango saketini, which tasted good but not strong at all. Would I come here again? No.

Foresta pizza with mushrooms, I was very surprised how delicious it was because it did not look like it was going to taste good.

We ended the evening with some shots of limoncello.

We had spent the day in Milan and we were dressed casual. The "doorman" REFUSED to let us in. I could CLEARLY tell this was because of what we were wearing. They had about 10 tables outside on the patio. I explained to the doorman that we visit Nobu's all around the world and this is our 20TH Nobu location. He still refused to even let me step inside to take a picture. He waived a waiter over, I explained that this is the 20TH Nobu we are trying to visit, and somehow, magically, they had a table right away!! IMAGINE THAT!! I have NEVER, EVER, EVER, experienced this type of HORRIBLE service at any location around the world. I was appalled at the lack of service this Nobu showed. Extremely embarrassing for the brand. I will NEVER recommend this location to ANYONE.

We did not make a reservation because we weren't sure what time we could get there after a full day in Milan. So we were just planning on getting drinks & appetizers at the bar. Even though the bar was EMPTY, the "doorman" would not let us inside because of how we looked. You MUST be young & beautiful to enter this establishment. Luckily, a waiter overheard us saying we go to all of the Nobus around the world and found us a table outside. At this point, we didn't want to give them any of our money (which would have been a lot) so we just got drinks but no food. Our waiter was great but the doorman needs to be fired!

AJI was only a 3-minute walk away from our hotel and take-away was fast and convenient, exactly what we needed after a long day of exploring. This place excels at take away & delivery, there are only 11 spots to actually sit inside to eat. The interior is chic and welcoming. The service was friendly and unpretentious both nights we came. And the quality of ingredients for what they charge is a gem in this city. We spent under 30€ total each time we went and were very full. I had to make a profile for them on here because they were not listed. (Not many Yelp reviews in Italy.) I just had to share my great experience and wish you the same.

Everyone greeted me with a smile, and their warmth made the whole experience feel genuinely inviting. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with an elegant atmosphere that feels almost like fine dining. It's the kind of place that would be wonderful for a date or a special dinner, but I also felt completely comfortable dining alone. I chose to take my meal to go, and even the takeaway service was handled with the same care and attention. I ordered the pizza, and it was very good. My order was prepared quickly, which I especially appreciated after arriving on a late train. The location right in the center of the city is incredibly convenient, and the late hours make this a great option for travelers or anyone looking for a meal later in the evening. I was also impressed by the little details. My takeaway was beautifully and securely packaged, with sturdy packaging, high-quality napkins, and even a nice wet wipe. Those thoughtful touches really stood out and showed that they care about the customer experience, even with a takeaway order. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with wonderful staff, a lovely atmosphere, good food, and genuine attention to detail. I would happily return -- whether for a nice dinner, a date, or simply a meal on my own.

They welcomed us in even though we were sopping wet and gave us a little glass of sparkling wine. We liked the decor, it was not busy and we were seated right away. We opted in for their ayce meal. We didn't go crazy like might at ayce sushi places at home. Coming from California, we have no lack of great sushi places and where our taste may be compared. This sushi is not like American sushi, and not like Japan sushi quite either. Alot of their sushi comes out very quickly, but the restaurant was fairly empty. The carpaccio and nigiri came out within a few minutes. The nigiri was thin fish on alot of rice compared to what we are used to, which was great for my husband who prefers less fish to rice and bad for me who prefers more fish and less rice. They do not give you wasabi or ginger, but we didn't ask. The rolls are small, four pieces each, so you can try more variety. They are pretty dense with rice as well. The 20 piece special chefs plate was interesting, and the special sushi was different from anything I've ever tried.. We also got the curry menshi (curry chicken fried rice) that didn't taste much like Japanese curry, but it was a big portion compared to the rest of the things we ordered. The corn egg chicken soup needed salt, which you can add at the table with soy sauce. The gyōza were OK, we didn't like the toast, it's a fried dish and the bread held the oil too well.
