For broader menus, compare IYO, Osaka, Wicky’s, Kensho, Nomisan, Seta Sushi in Bologna and J’s Napoli branch, using each venue’s actual menu.

Sushi Restaurants in Italy: options in detail

A sushi counter, a whole-table tasting and a broad Japanese à-la-carte meal are different experiences. Decide how much menu choice and arrival flexibility your party needs, then confirm the actual venue and dietary response. Several selections serve cooked dishes as well as raw fish.

  1. 1. IYO

    IYO Restaurant at Via Piero della Francesca 74 in Milan offers contemporary Japanese cooking with sushi, à-la-carte choices and tasting menus. The reviewed Faccio IYO 2026 menu includes six daily nigiri, seafood preparations and cooked courses; it must be chosen by the whole table and does not allow allergy or intolerance modifications. IYO Omakase and IYO Kaiseki are separate group venues at Piazza Alvar Aalto. The English homepage and Italian menu footer disagree about Monday opening, so confirm your service day directly rather than treating either schedule as settled.

    Suitable for: Contemporary Japanese à-la-carte or whole-table tasting in Milan.

    Booking or purchase details: Book IYO Restaurant’s correct address, discuss dietary needs before choosing the unmodifiable 2026 tasting, and confirm Monday service.

  2. 2. Sushi Matsu Omakase

    Sushi Matsu Omakase identifies Via Alvise Cadamosto 7 in Milan and a fourteen-seat counter. The operator describes an Edomae approach using salting, marinating, cooking and searing, with the chef selecting a seasonal menu according to the catch. This is not a guarantee of an all-raw meal or a fixed sequence of fish. Its posted schedule closes Sunday and Monday, with different Tuesday and Wednesday–Saturday lunch starts. Select the correct service and clarify dietary needs and counter availability through this venue’s own reservation link.

    Suitable for: A small Milan Edomae counter with seasonal chef selection.

    Booking or purchase details: Reserve this Cadamosto-address venue, check the appropriate lunch/dinner start, and discuss the chef-selected menu and dietary limits.

  3. 3. Osaka

    Osaka’s operator reports its September 2025 move to Via Anfiteatro 6 in Milan, replacing the former Corso Garibaldi location. It distinguishes lunch sets from dinner à-la-carte and lists sushi, sashimi, ramen, gyoza and sukiyaki. Monday is closed. Reservations for one guest or more than six require direct phone/email contact; emailed requests should be sent two or three days ahead. The posted animal restriction has explicit service/assistance and therapy-dog exceptions. Use the new address and correct meal format rather than an old listing or a presumed all-you-can-eat offer.

    Suitable for: Traditional Japanese dishes and sushi at a verified new Milan address.

    Booking or purchase details: Use Via Anfiteatro 6, contact directly for one or over-six guests, and confirm kitchen last orders and any assistance-dog arrangements.

  4. 4. Moi Omakase

    MOI is Francesco Preite’s omakase and sake venue on Viale Piave in Prato. Its operator instructions specify a shared counter, a chef-selected nigiri tasting menu without à-la-carte ordering, and one common dinner start at 21:00. Published opening is Monday–Saturday, with a request to cancel at least twenty-four hours ahead. Fish and nigiri vary with the market and season. Choose it for a scheduled counter experience rather than flexible arrival or individual roll orders; confirm the current reservation terms and any dietary accommodation before committing.

    Suitable for: A single-start Prato omakase counter and sake-focused experience.

    Booking or purchase details: Confirm the common 21:00 seating, tasting-menu suitability and cancellation terms; this is in Prato and has no à-la-carte menu.

  5. 5. Wicky’s Innovative Japanese Cuisine

    Wicky’s in Corso Italia 6, Milan publishes three distinct dinner formats: à-la-carte, Sharing and tasting menus. Its Sharing route includes seasonal carpacci, nigiri and maki, requires at least two people and the whole table, and excludes dessert. Tasting routes vary in length and fish/meat composition; the selected à-la-carte examples include cooked dishes as well as sushi. This rendered operator menu is a selection rather than the full card. Confirm availability and declare dietary needs, and distinguish restaurant dining from the separate sushi or Lanka Kitchen home-ordering services.

    Suitable for: Milan Japanese cooking with a clearly separated sushi-sharing format.

    Booking or purchase details: Agree à-la-carte, Sharing or tasting as appropriate; check whole-table Sharing rules, dessert inclusion and dietary requirements.

  6. 6. J Contemporary Japanese Restaurant Napoli

    J’s Napoli branch is at Via Agostino Depretis 24, separate from the group’s Portici and Sorrento venues. The operator describes two dining floors, a sushi bar and two cocktail bars, plus a private room for up to sixteen. These are useful setting and branch facts, but the reviewed branch page did not establish current nigiri choices, a tasting price or kitchen hours. Ask Napoli directly for its menu and reservation conditions; a rooftop description of Sorrento or the group’s legal-office address should not be transferred to this restaurant.

    Suitable for: A named Naples branch with sushi, cocktail and private-dining spaces.

    Booking or purchase details: Contact the Napoli branch for its current sushi menu, meal times and table format; private-room capacity is a separate request.

  7. 7. Seta Sushi Restaurant

    Seta Sushi Restaurant is in Bologna’s Corte Isolani, at number two, and is separate from the Italian-cuisine Seta at Mandarin Oriental Milan. Its operator describes two evening omakase tastings alongside an available à-la-carte menu, combining Japanese traditions with Western interpretation. Composition can vary with seasonal supply. The reviewed schedule has Monday dinner, Tuesday–Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday closure. Choose the actual tasting or à-la-carte arrangement when reserving; do not borrow the Milan restaurant’s awards, rules or chef identity.

    Suitable for: Bologna sushi with evening omakase and à-la-carte alternatives.

    Booking or purchase details: Reserve the Bologna venue and the desired meal format, confirm seasonal tasting contents and check Sunday closure.

  8. 8. Ichikawa

    Ichikawa at Via Lazzaro Papi 18 in Milan distinguishes its eight-guest evening omakase counter from ordinary dining-room choices. The operator describes six courses plus dessert at the counter, versus a five-course-plus-dessert table tasting or à-la-carte ordering in the room. Published examples include sashimi and hot dishes such as wagyu udon. The counter is a specific limited-capacity format, not a description of the whole restaurant. Request the correct seat and route and discuss dietary needs and cancellation terms before reserving.

    Suitable for: Milan counter omakase or dining-room à-la-carte with distinct formats.

    Booking or purchase details: Specify the eight-seat counter or dining room, confirm the matching menu and booking conditions, and declare dietary needs.

  9. 9. Kensho

    Kensho identifies Via Mercanti 16 in Turin and describes contemporary Japanese dining with raw dishes, sushi and hot preparations intended for sharing. Its named examples include nigiri omakase, Lobster Toast and Roll Royce. The private listening room is a separate space with guest-selected vinyl, while delivery and private-chef services have their own arrangements. The current homepage does not publish a complete meal schedule or establish a fixed omakase sequence. Confirm the menu and room for your date rather than adopting expired gift-card promotions from an older site.

    Suitable for: Contemporary Japanese sharing and music-led private dining in Turin.

    Booking or purchase details: Confirm service time, current menu and main-room or private-room seating; delivery and private-chef arrangements are separate.

  10. 10. Nomisan

    Nomisan’s operator menu describes sushi, sashimi and meat or fish gyoza, alongside changing specials based on the day’s catch and a variable Gran Crudo. Its contact page identifies Viale Gianluigi Bonelli 237 in Rome. This gives a traditional Japanese menu to investigate beyond sushi rolls, but the reviewed information does not establish a fixed tasting sequence, all-you-can-eat formula or current meal hours. Ask about the day’s selection and your dietary requirements, and use the named Rome address when arranging a visit.

    Suitable for: Traditional Japanese sushi, gyoza and catch-dependent specials in Rome.

    Booking or purchase details: Confirm current service hours, daily fish choices and dietary needs at the Bonelli-address restaurant before planning the meal.

Before you decide

Use Matsu or MOI to investigate a chef-led counter, request Ichikawa’s correct counter or room route, and compare broader menus when individual choices matter. Confirm IYO’s tasting restrictions early. Use Osaka’s new address, and distinguish Bologna’s Seta Sushi from Milan’s unrelated Seta.

Sushi Restaurants in Italy: questions answered

Which restaurant publishes a single shared dinner start?

MOI in Prato publishes a 21:00 common start, a counter tasting and no à-la-carte menu. Confirm the current schedule and cancellation conditions before choosing it for a party that needs flexible arrival or individual dishes.

Does IYO’s 2026 tasting permit allergy substitutions?

Its reviewed menu explicitly says the Faccio IYO 2026 tasting does not provide allergy or intolerance modifications. Discuss requirements before booking and do not assume another menu or à-la-carte service automatically resolves them.

Has Osaka changed its Milan address?

Yes. The operator reports a September 2025 move to Via Anfiteatro 6. Use that address rather than the former Corso Garibaldi location; one-person or more-than-six-person reservations require direct contact.

Is Seta Sushi the same as Seta at Mandarin Oriental Milan?

No. The reviewed Seta Sushi Restaurant is at Corte Isolani 2 in Bologna, with Japanese à-la-carte and evening omakase offers. The Milan restaurant’s awards, chef, cuisine and admission rules do not apply to it.

Must Wicky’s Sharing menu be ordered by everyone?

Its rendered operator menu requires at least two people and the whole table for Sharing; dessert is excluded. À-la-carte and other tasting routes are separate choices. Confirm the current composition and dietary suitability.

Is every omakase an all-raw or fixed sushi meal?

No. Matsu describes Edomae preparations including salting, marinating, cooking and searing, with selection dependent on the catch. Ichikawa distinguishes its counter tasting from room choices. Ask each restaurant about its actual route rather than transferring another counter’s format.
