In Savona, it is possible to immerse yourself in the scents and flavors of the Far East while enjoying delicious sushi just a stone’s throw from the beach and the crystal-clear waters of the western Ligurian Riviera. Sushi Beach is, not surprisingly, the perfect setting for romantic dinners and special occasions where i savor the dishes of Japanese cuisine expertly prepared with top-quality ingredients.
Sushi Beach is part of an elegant hotel that has become one of the landmarks of the entire Liguria restaurant scene for years.
Unlike the many AYCE (all-you-can-eat) restaurants that can be found on the streets downtown, the atmosphere at Sushi Beach is immediately sophisticated, with bright, cozy interiors and exotic charm, perfect for an intimate evening by the pool. The furnishings have simple, essential lines that, while informal, do not sacrifice a touch of class. Tappetti Volanti, Cromo Dinner and Nasse, these are the names of the rooms that can be found inside the location directly overlooking the Bagni Marea, a soft expanse of sandy beach lapped by the clear waters of one of Italy’s most beautiful Blue Flag shores.
Sushi Beach’s menu features a wide variety of high-quality ingredients, the freshest local fish and traditional Japanese recipes to which the chefs lend as much a hint of Ligurian terroir as they do a dash of modernity. Each dish is plated with extreme attention to every smallest detail, thus obtaining a result capable of surprising even at a first glance and then delighting the palate upon tasting. Tuna and salmon are undoubtedly two of the main ingredients of uramaki, sashimi, temaki, hosomaki and specialties such as the delicious salmon and lime tartare or tuna takaki in tropea onion sauce. At the conclusion of the meal, of course, dessert cannot be missed, including matcha tiramisu, japan cheesecake and the highly original giappuccino, a heart of soft chocolate combined with green tea ice cream, whipped cream and cocoa beans.
Service in the dining room is always impeccable, with knowledgeable and courteous staff able to accurately present each recipe and advise for the best even those unfamiliar with Japanese cuisine.
The wine list then adds a touch of exclusivity to an already rich menu thanks to a wide selection of Italian wines, many from the Hotel’s own Teatro wine cellar, with more than 600 labels and about 15,000 bottles of excellence.
Needless to say, for a dinner of exquisite dishes served in a picturesque location just a stone’s throw from the seashore, the final price can only be in line with the excellent quality of service and product offerings; however, the experience of a summer evening spent among the flavors and scents of a faraway land, lulled by the waves and sea air is priceless.
