"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

Overrated and expensive for what it is. If you're a food connoisseur, this restaurant will likely disappoint. I’m genuinely confused by the 5-star reviews and its inclusion in the Michelin Guide. We came for an à la carte dinner and ordered several popular items as suggested; three starters, two mains, and four wines. Unfortunately, the dishes were overly salty, and lacked freshness. The so-called “seafood” udon was undercooked and had minimal, shriveled bits of seafood that I had to dig for - very misleading. Portions were small, and while the service was friendly, it was also quite slow. For the price, the experience feels unjustified - the quality simply doesn’t match the hype or the cost. If I’m paying a premium price, I expect premium food.

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🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Came to this restaurant based on previous reviews For the price, I would’ve expected better. Food for me was overly salty and lacked depth. I believe I could’ve made a more balanced yakisoba for half the price… Service however was somewhat decent.

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.
