So you are in Italy. In the country where the cuisine is said to be one of the best in the world. Just imagine the cuisine: famous italian pizza, „al dente“ pasta, phenomenal prosciutto and strong coffee.

But I dont like pizza. I dont drink coffe. And I gain a lot in weight when I eat pasta.

On the contrary, I love sushi. Japanese sushi. In spite of living in this pizza-pasta culture.

Just to show you my surprise when I found the Wabi Sabi Ristorante, I have to tell you a true story of my Italian friend.

She is thirty-something, hightly educated, some sort of doctor. This girl, however, has been unemployed in Italy for years.

But, a couple of months ago she got a job in Spain. After years of searching any sort of job, she found a really good one abroad. She was very happy, especially because – she said – she loves Spanish people, culture, languange...but she didn’t accept the job!

„Why not?“ I asked. „Well, what would I eat there?“ She replied. „I mean, there is no real Italian pizza – I couldnt survive without it!“

Yes, Italy is full of great Italian pizzerias and caffeterias. And (thank God) discovered a sushi restaurant which offers a lunch buffet all you can eat (from 12:30 – 14:30 every day) for 15 euros only.

It is really the best sushi I have ever eaten!

Maki sushi, nigiri sushi, temaki, sashimi...plus incredible seawead salad and chocolate cake as a dessert. Do you prefer meat or nuddles? Anything you wish. In Wabi Sabi it’s no problem.

Last month I searched for a new apartment. Who cares what kind of flat it is. My only demand was it MUST be close to Wabi Sabi. Fortunaly for me, I found one and now I live in neighbourhood of Wabi Sabi. I know Italians wont go there with me, so I eat there (like a pig!) mostly alone. But it is worth it!

So once you are overeaten with pizza and fat after eating pasta with pesto, go for sushi. It is a diet food. Unless...unless you eat much more than you can:-)
