Sentaku Izakaya

One of the best Japanese restaurants in the region was founded by Italians. Alessandro Musiani’s passion for the East has sparked a frenzy in the city—first with his ramen bar and more recently with his Izakaya, ironically inspiring Asian entrepreneurs to replicate the format locally.

The meeting with Nicolò Ribuffo, who trained alongside master Daniele Dalla Pola and gained experience across Europe and beyond in both hospitality and management, led to a bar philosophy perfectly aligned with the restaurant’s flavors. Tradition, authenticity, and high-quality Japanese ingredients shine through both in the dishes—featuring true home-style recipes—and in the drinks, where saké, yuzu, matcha, and Japanese liqueurs are incorporated using cutting-edge techniques and interpretations.

In just a short time, Sentaku has earned a spot among the world’s top 500 cocktail bars, hosting exclusive “in & out” guest shifts with some of the best venues across Europe and beyond.

Erick Munguia, a rising star in the city, brings precision and professionalism to every recipe and interaction, crafting a drink list that blends style, fusion, umami, and complexity—under the expert guidance of Giuseppe Vitiello.
