"Residents flock to Japanese-born Yoji Tokuyoshi’s restaurant for the rotating menu paired with natural wines. The chef showcases his experience as the longtime right-hand man to revered chef Massimo Bottura and at his own (now closed) Michelin-starred Ristorante Tokuyoshi. Dishes might include grilled eel glazed with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, fried veal tongue katsu sandwiches with cappuccio cabbage, and frog leg karaage. Know before you go: You can cover all your bases with the omakase menu." - Elizabeth De Filippo-Jones

"Top-quality Japanese cuisine with heavy Mediterranean influences takes pride of place at this restaurant, where talented chef Toku Yoji Tokuyoshi creates dishes such as horsemeat tataki with a pizzaiola sauce, and barbecued fish neck with friggitello pepper. If you opt for a seat on the large bench facing the kitchen, you’ll be able to watch the chefs at work and admire the precision required to prepare different types of sushi. Modern, understated decor." - Michelin Inspector

One of the best places I’ve tried in Milan. The cuisine here is a mix of traditional Japanese cuisine and a modern cuisine by using great ingredients to create that umami taste. We were three people and we had many different dishes from the menu to share so had the opportunity to try many plates. Service was well organized and accurate, we had a great experience

It was a great dining experience here! We had the omakase menu and every dish was chef’s kiss! The 2 rounds of starters were fabulous! We love every tuna dish and the chicken & eel skewer too! Service was really remarkable, very personable and friendly! Will definitely visit if I am ever in Milan again.

I’m ABSOLUTELY amazed by this restaurant !!! All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and professional for asking my food allergies in advance. The atmosphere is relaxing and even for dining alone (not all Michelin restaurants are friendly and good arrange to solo diner) The nature wine pairing is awesome as some bottle of them are not easily found in Milan. Overall, it’s way more higher than the average. I been trying a lot of Michelin restaurants and few could make me not feel greasy, the chef’s pairing from first course to dessert are totally fresh. Best Japanese restaurant I ever had in Milan, love it so much🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

A typical spin on Japanese cuisine, with some items feeling gimmicky . their bestseller, the katsu sando, turned out to be the least enjoyable among our orders. The Tskune were rock solid , & the Chirashi don resembled the quality of a Poke bowl , only you’d pay 5x more . Overall , No Fomo , just pass on it

I’ve been here many times. Food is delicious! Really love their negitoro and their chicken and eel skewers. The menu changes based the seasonal ingredients. I recommend to try 3-4 dishes to share and then a main course each

Bentoteca can be considered one of the most amazing restaurant in the city of Milan. The way some local raw materials are treated is simply awesome. The true fusion of local ingredients and Japanese process brings you an explosion of flavor that is hard to forget. The wine selection is mainly natural oriented but also here the selection is meticulous and also the true veterans can find their own path. Prices are very high sometimes but the experience is worth the expense.
