Description

Top-quality Japanese cuisine with heavy Mediterranean influences takes pride of place at this restaurant, where talented chef Toku Yoji Tokuyoshi creates dishes such as horsemeat tataki with a pizzaiola sauce, and barbecued fish neck with friggitello pepper. If you opt for a seat on the large bench facing the kitchen, you’ll be able to watch the chefs at work and admire the precision required to prepare different types of sushi. Modern, understated decor.

Review summary

Bentōteca offers contemporary Asian fusion cuisine in Milan with mixed reviews. Food quality is generally praised for fresh ingredients like raw fish and wagyu, though some found dishes bland or greasy. Service is typically friendly and efficient, yet occasionally rushed or brusque. The ambiance features minimalist, welcoming decor with good soundproofing, suitable for intimate dinners. Value is a major point of contention; many guests feel prices are unjustifiably high relative to the experience, while others consider the quality worth the cost.
