Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"11/10 recomendation for this place. Lovely and fast service, specially from younger gentleman with great English. All you can eat - selection really wide from all kind of sushis to warm dishes. We paid 17 euros / person, which could be only apetizers price somewhere else. Will be back soon"
"Free parking on the other side of the street, friendly staff and tasty food. I can recommend their "All you can eat". For sushi beginners maybe not the best choice if you don't know the dishes and/or Italian. I recommend going there during the week, the waiting times will be shorter and you don't have to reserve a table."
"Food quality and taste: 1/1 Price/quality ratio: 1/1, as a Swiss person, Italy is generally cheaper. Presentation and atmosphere: 0.75/1, the large windows had a wall in front of them, sad. Service: 1/1 Hygiene: 1/1 Total: 4.75 stars Recommendation: get the all you can eat sushi, it's awesome. Extra: at the end we were offered a digestive, and I got an awesome sake."
"Japanese / Asian restaurant in an Italian village. The food is slightly adjusted to local taste, the quality is good, the fish is fresh. Prices are reasonable. Considering that I live on Malaysia I am not very excited by this type of restaurant in Italy indeed I visited the place not knowing that it was not an Italian restaurant, the name Unico did not give any hint."
"We were in a sushi restaurant - it was very tasty, fresh products, fast service, if you are nearby I definitely recommend visiting."
"I’m not used to this kind if restaurants, but I was positively impressed. Very very good Sushi, fresh and good quality. The all You can eat formula is still delivering high quality sushi and the price is competitive. Even if the restaurant is always busy (full with people) the service is fast and reliable. As usual digestivo is offered and they have a good wine selection! Definitely a great quality price offer!"
"Nice restaurant with great sushi. The upper room is very nice but more costly then the all-you-can eat below (45€/person). It does have more choice but not enough to justify the higher price. Goto the upper room only if you appreciate a more luxurious atmosphere and better views."
"Really nice sushi, sashimi, rolls and some other good menus"
