Iushi Oltre Il Sushi

Look, I know what you’re thinking – sushi in a medieval Italian town? But trust me on this one. Iushi Oltre Il Sushi isn’t your typical sushi joint. This place has completely reimagined Japanese cuisine with an Italian soul, creating something truly extraordinary that’s become one of Vasto’s most talked-about dining experiences.

The menu is a brilliant fusion that respects both culinary traditions. Chef Marco combines the freshest Adriatic seafood with traditional Japanese techniques, creating dishes like crudo di ricciola with Italian herbs and their famous salmone marinato that incorporates local olive oil. They also serve exceptional Italian dishes alongside their innovative sushi, so even the most skeptical pasta lover in your group will find something amazing.

The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between sleek and welcoming. The interior features clean, modern lines with warm wood accents and soft lighting that creates an intimate setting. Large windows offer glimpses of the surrounding countryside, and the open kitchen lets you watch the artistry happening behind the scenes. It’s sophisticated without being stuffy – exactly what you want for a special night out.

This is absolutely worth the splurge for a memorable dinner during your Vasto visit. The service is impeccable, the presentation is Instagram-worthy, and the flavors will genuinely surprise you. Book ahead – with only 43 reviews but a 4.8 rating, word is spreading fast among both locals and savvy travelers. It’s the kind of place that’ll have you telling friends back home about this incredible Italian-Japanese fusion you discovered in a small Abruzzo town.
