For our daughter 's graduation, six of us dined, choosing the five-course menu (some only raw fish, some raw and cooked). The chef amazed us with every course, concluding with a stunning caramel dessert, of which I asked for seconds (unusual for me). The wine list is excellent. Add to that the kindness, courtesy, and discretion of the service, and the 5 stars are more than deserved. For those who want to enjoy excellent seafood prepared in a different way, you 're in the right place. The quality/price ratio is reasonable. We 'll definitely be back.

The ambiance is beautiful, refined without being pretentious, and the open kitchen is open to the light and harmonious world of Chef Guido and his assistants. The hostess, with kindness and wisdom, guides guests through the best options. The result is always a delight for body and soul!

Every visit is a sensory journey that confirms the excellence of the place. The strong point is the genius of Chef Guido: a true artist in his field, capable of masterfully combining flavors and ingredients from diverse cultures, creating harmony and surprise in every course. His cuisine is innovative but never risky, always balanced and with an unmistakable personal touch. The plating is impeccable every time: a feast for the eyes even before the palate. We tried several tastings, and the last one—a masterful interpretation of Japanese cuisine adapted to Italian tastes—was simply wonderful, an explosion of delicate yet bold flavors. The experience would not be complete without the expert guidance of Simona, who is exceptional at selecting wines. With great expertise and sensitivity, he always knows how to recommend the perfect pairing, balancing the diverse tastes of the table and maximizing the chef's dishes. Lemòkò is more than just a restaurant; it's a top-notch culinary experience, run by passionate professionals who love their craft. If you're looking for a place where cooking is art and hospitality is warm and genuine, this is the place to be on Via George Byron. Five well-deserved stars!

And now let's get to the point: the fish dishes are phenomenal, never boring, and excellent. The wines are excellent. I had the five-course raw and cooked menu dessert, and there was nothing wrong with it; in fact, each dish was better than the last. I will always remember the octopus with onion granita. Excellent!
