Among the restaurants that face the restart with important news there is Aalto Part of Iyo, in the modern Piazza Aalto, adjacent to Piazza Gae Aulenti: a new idea of cuisine, without borders, for a city stretched towards the future
Eight lines that intersect to form a circle, without the limit of the circumference: this is the significant new restaurant logo Aalto Part of Iyo, Which reopened after lockdown with a new idea of kitchen without boundaries and divided on many directions, just like the logo seems to suggest.
In addition to the experience at Sushi Banco IYO Omakase, which has remained unchanged since its inauguration last 2019, the real novelty is in fact the free cuisine of the gastronomic restaurant, which is completely new. The patron Claudio Liu, Chinese of origin and Italian by adoption, already the backbone of the restaurant IYO, the only Japanese starred in Italy, inaugurated a collaboration with the chef, Takeshi Iwai, Japanese, but now in Italy since 2007. The result is a real gastronomic journey through the cultures of different countries, in dishes that celebrate the raw material and the taste without conditioning style, geography or philosophy.
In tasting menu (8 or 5 courses) there is a continuous stimulating swing between Japan and Italy, which applies various Japanese techniques such as fermentation, cooking on charcoals and smoking with local ingredients, creating harmonious and flavorful dishes, surprising and always well balanced. What also conquers is the rituality with which you are invited to taste and the aesthetics of the compositions in the dishes. Do not miss the dialogue with Italian wines and not only thanks to the sommelier Savio Bina the courses are combined with bubbles, white and red, but also with Gin and Sake, tea or other Japanese liqueurs.
The architecture of the restaurant, the furniture and the objects on the table enrich the tasting experience with aesthetic details that are never too screeched and always functional.
