Sushi Taro — Restaurant in Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella

Our today's visit in Sushi Taro was one of the greatest gastronomic experiences we've had in Italy so far. We were greeted very politely upon entering and shown to our seats. The ordering system was explained to us with great professionalism, and our drink orders were taken. From then on, our table, as well as the other occupied tables, was checked every 30 seconds, without exaggeration. The staff is incredibly well-coordinated and attentive to a level you rarely experience! The ambiance was very beautiful, modern in style, interspersed with traditional Japanese paintings on the walls. The numerous seats are comfortably spaced apart; you never feel too close to the next table. The food is almost too good to be offered as an all-you-can-eat concept and was of impeccable quality, both in terms of taste and craftsmanship; everything was, of course, absolutely fresh. At the same time, the first appetizer we ordered was served after just a few moments. Serving and clearing again followed the staff's perfectly coordinated rhythm, so that the table was never too full but also never empty as long as you had ordered something. From the edamame to the white chocolate soufflé, we were completely satisfied. The final bill wasn't worth mentioning, considering the quality offered. If you appreciate sushi and don't come here, it's...

Eating here was a great experience! The location is beautifully decorated, blending traditional japanese murals with modern interior architecture. The all you can eat menu here offers a wide range of food including, but not limited to Poke Bowls, Sushi, Gyoza and Teppanyaki. As a family of four we got to taste most of the different types of food offered at this establishment and first off: the dishes were presented beautifully and looked stunning. The taste was absolutely phenomenal, the fish was very fresh and the tempura was deliciously crispy. Service was great, with food arriving within a moments notice and waiters being very helpful and friendly when choosing a dish to order. The cherry on top were the tasty desserts (not included in AYCE), with the chef adding a personal touch to every single one of them. I‘m hoping to come back to eat here soon. Definitely dine here if you’re looking for a luxurious dive into asian cuisine in this beautiful region...

Non mi ha convinto.

Arrivati dopo aver prenotato un tavolo per due telefonicamente. Una volta sul posto, una cameriera molto gentile e sorridente ci fa accomodare, suddividendo i tavoli davanti a noi. Sono stati velocissimi a prendere l’ordine del bere; altrettanto non si può dire del mangiare. Le bevande arrivano dopo pochi minuti - qui inizia l’agonia dell’attesa infinita. I tempi biblici hanno sicuramente contribuito alla poca soddisfazione, e le pietanze, seppur alcune davvero buone, non sono riuscite a sistemare l’impressione generale.

Senza dubbio, bravissimi a fare i fritti - la carta assorbente non viene messa quasi in nessun all you can eat.

La cucina cinese lascia desiderare - il maialino in agrodolce sapeva più di aceto e grasso che di maialino in agrodolce. Sono rimasta malissimo dal sashimi mix, tra l’altro un piatto che si può ordinare una sola volta a persona. Il piatto è arrivato annacquato (sarà rimasto in cucina almeno per mezz’ora?), composto da 3 pezzetti di tonno, 3 di branzino (molto buono) e uno di numero gambero rosso; NESSUNO scampo, nonostante ci sia indicato nel menu.

Spiedini di gamberi e gamberoni alla griglia favolosi; uramaki speciali anche.

Location carina e permette almeno un minimo di privacy.

Concludendo, penso che difficilmente ci ritornerei - prezzi leggermente superiori alla media, poca scelta rispetto ad altri ristoranti di questo tipo, lunghissimi tempi di attesa e poca attenzione a molti piatti ( in due piatti diversi ho trovato...
