"There are many surprises in life, but finding not just sushi this good but proper Japanese cuisine in this corner of Italy was a welcome surprise. Bear in mind the pride of the Italians, it is not so likely that you find ANY other cuisine except for I am told a fairly popular 'Tex Mex ' we all have to rebel against Mama 's cooking eventually even if only for a night . So my expectations were not high, but I was blown away not just by the quality of food, but decor and service too. I am told he is leaving soon, but our waiter Riccardo spoke english perfectly and was patient and friendly and by the end of the first visit we went twice in a week was laughing and enjoying a drink with us at the end. The food ...surprisingly I am not the greatest fan of Sushi except for Sashimi it should be about simple quality of ingredients and preparation, not how many things you can think . of to throw together but europeans don 't buy into that concept , I find modern sushi over complicated, but it was VERY good, why, the care and attention in preparation quality of ingredients. My co diners were also very impressed. What got me is that for the first time outside of London or Japan I was able to eat Unagi Domburi grilled eel on rice and it was not just available, it was FANTASTIC. We also tried the Teriyaki Chicken and I was also blown away ...top quality chicken, properly cooked before the sauce added to the perfect quality and quantity consider myself to be an expert in the finer points of this dish and am rarely this impressed and it is so often just thrown together to make those who don 't like sushi happy . Lets I forget forget the Miso soup ..local wild mushrooms I think plus a quails egg that poaches in your bowl as you eat if you don 't break it with your spoon you will find this hidden gem is also highly recommended. I was with friends, but if you have a date near Asolo you will be sure to impress him/her with a night here, the food, decor, lighting and ambience mean all you have to take care of is your captivating conversation ; I massive double thumbs up from me."

"Conosco e frequento il ristorante, pizzeria da anni e non posso che segnalarlo come un locale di riferimento ad Asolo. In uno dei borghi più belli d'Italia non poteva mancare un esercizio così. La cucina è di matrice napoletana ed è curata dalla parte femminile della famiglia. La pizzeria è di matrice pugliese ed è curata dalla parte maschile. Cosa volete di più? Da provare a pranzo e a cena. Servizio inappuntabile a cura di un simpaticissimo componente della famiglia che gestisce il ristorante Cornaro e da giovani collaboratrici."

"We wanted to like this restaurant. We dined here many years ago and anticipated reliving that experience. Unfortunately, something was missing. The setting is absolutely perfect. One can choose to sit with a view of the valley, a garden experience or the dining room. Unfortunately, the positives largely ended there. We ordered carpaccio as a first course. They initially brought out gazpacho believing that that was the ordered first course. The carpaccio that they brought was very pretty but contained far too much mayonnaise and not enough arugula. We didn’t enjoy it. Our second course was a baked pasta dish which I liked and my wife did not. I would eat that dish again. We shared the veal Milanese as our final course. It was fine. We had to ask for lemons to be squeezed on it. We should not have had to ask. The vegetables were nicely prepared. The common theme is that the food was fine but the service was not acceptable. The waiters were very pleasant and nice. There was no headwaiter/maître d’. That was unacceptable and the service clearly showed the absence of a leader. I mentioned it to Concierge the next day who acknowledged it. He simply acknowledged it. Nothing more. Our server Laura was a shining star. She is perhaps the reason we gave the restaurant four stars rather than three. As a guest of the hotel for several days this is especially disappointing. The hotel and setting are spectacular. The restaurant has an indisputable heritage as witnessed by one Michelin star. It’s clearly not up to par."

"Localino arroccato nel centro storico di Asolo, quindi non è proprio semplice trovare parcheggio, arredato in modo classico con una Mise en place carina ed una veduta panoramica non indifferente e dotato anche di un bel terrazzo dove pranzare quando fa caldo. Il livello di qualità dei piatti mangiati è stato alto e mi è piaciuto ma non si può non evidenziare che il menù propone pochissimi piatti e senza alcuna alternativa tradizionale, dovete considerare che non a tutti piace l'anatra proposta di base per parecchie pietanze. Bevuto del vino locale che, anche se molto giovane, è risultato gradevole e accompagnava bene quanto mangiato. Deludente il fatto che di sabato a pranzo, primo tavolo ad ordinare, sui pochi antipasti proposti ti esclude quello principale a base di soppressa perché hanno terminato sia lo soppressa che il salame, è una cosa che non si può sentire ad un certo livello e con poche proposte. Piace la cucina a vista un po' meno il fatto che tra le 2 pietanze scelte abbiamo aspettato parecchio oltre un tempo consono mentre altri tavoli, che hanno ordinato parecchio dopo, avevano già ricevuto le seconde portate. I prezzi mi sono sembrati sproporzionati nonostante l'ottima qualità delle proposte."

"Il cibo è molto buono e prezzi nella norma... Non sono convintissima del servizio e della pulizia.... I camerieri molto cordiali una volta al tavolo ma poi al banco facevano comaró tra di loro, spesso stando senza mascherina che aimè, non è carino da vedere Piccole dimenticanze (es. Abbiamo dovuto chiedere le posate) Sotto le panche c'erano ragnatele che manco fosse da due anni che non passavano sotto... Lo consiglio si, ma per un panino veloce"
