Experience Tuscany

Florence offers many Japanese restaurants in its city center, but there is one restaurant that sits on the outskirts of Florence, more precisely at Osmannoro, where you will also find Ikea, the factory store of Cavalli and much more.
Tomo Sushi is along via Pratese that connects Florence to Prato. A wonderful magnolia tree salutes customers that enter the restaurant. The interiors are quite sober and very comfortable. The open restaurant area sits more than fifty people, and is divided from the more private tables for groups that are surrounded by paper and wood dividers. Here customers sit the western style with a Japanese flavor, as there are no chairs and legs can be tucked in and under the large tables. The walls are adorned with beautiful kimonos and traditional Japanese puppets and masks. The atmosphere is rendered more welcoming thanks to traditional Japanese songs and music.
The service is very fast and each dish is decorated with careful attention. The menu includes much more than just sushi. You will find many kinds of miso soups, Japanese skewers, tempura, teryaki, cirashi, and of course sashimi, temaki, hossomaki, uramaki, gunkan, futomaki, and a large selection of udon, soba, and rice dishes. Everything is very good, although the sushi rice could be better tasting and less salty.
The sushi man is Japanese, as is one of the owners, and you can see him work behind the sushi bar preparing your dishes. The food is also served as specials. The usual boat of sushi could not miss a place of honor, although a great deal are also the sashimi and super sashimi platters. The fish is really good, tender and masterfully cut. A dish to try is the selection of cirashi, slices of sashimi resting on a bed of rice and sprinkled with sesame seeds. The rice for this dish is actually great.
Altogether the restaurant is very clean, with excellent service, average prices, and very good quality food. The restroom is extremely clean, not a side note to undervalue.
Tomo Sushi is the place where to go when taking a break from your shopping at the Cavalli store or the many other leather goods sotres of the area. The lunch menu is very good and even less expensive than dinner.
