Wabi Sabi - Firenze

Wani Sabi, I am told by my local friends, was the first Japanese restaurant in Florence. Bringing a different cuisine in Italy is no easy task so they deserve credit for effort and persistence. We were a party of 7 sitting in the comfortable outdoor seating area. I started with some vegetarian sushi and then a soba noodle bowl with some vegetable tempura on the side. The sushi was superb. The soba noodles were good but could have had a few more vegetables. The tempura was tasty though the crust was a little oily meaning that the temperature of the frying oil was lower than it should have been. For dessert I tried a chocolate torte which was average and been frozen. This I can understand. Japanese traditionally don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I probably should have tried the mochi sweets or the green tea ice cream. Service was friendly and prompt and the prices were moderate.

Good food, great atmosphere, perfect for a romantic dinner and with friends!! The young, indian guy, just adorable!!He was so kind, and even his colleagues, very nice and professional people!!

I used to come often here but because I moved in another part of the city it came more rarely. Yesterday I had the chance to be in this part of Florence and of course i couldn 't not stop by. The restaurant offers two choices, to use the all you can eat formula or a la carte .. We picked the second one. We loved all the plates, especially wabisabi roll1 and the lobster roll. We will come back again and again over and over here!

Ritornerei qui solo per questo piatto e in realtà ha anche l'ordine limitato. per gli altri piatti, invece, non tornerei affatto!

Le scatole sono molto buone in rapporto qualità prezzo e i pezzi dureranno senza perdere il loro gusto anche il giorno successivo
