MILAN -- Despite its location in a former sushi restaurant on a quiet street in Milan, Ristorante Tokuyoshi bears little resemblance to its predecessor. Inside the green-walled space, the plain wooden counter has been converted into a stylish dining bar set with wineglasses; sushi and sashimi are nowhere on the tasting menu.
Patron-chef Yoji Tokuyoshi, who was born in Japan, is at the forefront of Italian cuisine, known for his avant-garde creations, such as Sicilian cannoli filled with creamed cod and edible flowers; and pizza made with mortadella, anchovies and fried artichokes, layered atop a puffed rice cracker and served alongside caper broth.
