Why you should experience Ono Sushi Reserve in Milan, Italy.
Ono Sushi Reserve is a polished Japanese-fusion restaurant where Porta Venezia's cosmopolitan dining culture, a multi-address Milanese sushi operation, an unusually broad all-you-can-eat repertoire and theatrical contemporary presentation converge inside a restaurant conceived to elevate the familiar unlimited-order format.
Set along Via Giuseppe Broggi near Via Plinio and just steps from Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, the restaurant occupies a residential pocket behind Corso Buenos Aires where Liberty apartment buildings, independent restaurants and neighborhood shops temper the commercial intensity of one of Milan's busiest retail corridors. The interior unfolds through dark finishes, gold accents, sculptural lighting and carefully separated tables, giving the room greater visual ceremony than the functional layouts associated with high-volume sushi dining. Sushi and sashimi provide the foundation before Chinese preparations, cooked seafood, noodles and increasingly elaborate fusion rolls broaden the meal, with table service allowing small plates to arrive in repeated rounds across lunch or dinner. The result is a Porta Venezia restaurant where ambitious presentation and a composed dining room give the all-you-can-eat model the pace and visual polish of a more conventional à la carte sushi restaurant.
What you should know about Ono Sushi Reserve.
Ono Sushi Reserve is best known for developing the more refined Via Broggi branch of Ono Sushi, a Milanese Asian restaurant operation that also established Ono Sushi Experience on Via Felice Casati and subsequently expanded into Buccinasco. The Broggi restaurant opened in September 2020, entering the market during an exceptionally difficult year for Milanese hospitality and distinguishing itself from the existing Casati operation through the Reserve name. Via Casati had already developed the visual language associated with the group through oversized chandeliers, exposed brick, timber screens and a black-and-gold palette before Reserve carried the emphasis on elaborate interiors into another nearby district. The company later added Buccinasco on Via Privata Mulino, extending Ono beyond Central Milan while retaining its combination of Japanese sushi and broader Asian cooking. Reserve itself operates with two parallel dinner structures, allowing diners to choose the fixed-price unlimited menu or order individual dishes à la carte. Lunch divides the unlimited format between weekday and weekend selections, creating another tier within the same operating model. Takeaway and delivery form a separate branch with their own menu and promotions, widening the restaurant beyond seated service. Ono has continued revising its food program, with a February 2026 menu introducing new constructions alongside the established nigiri, sashimi, uramaki, chirashi and cooked Asian repertoire. The current network leaves Via Broggi as the Reserve expression of a broader Ono project whose Casati and Buccinasco addresses carry the Experience name.
Sushi provides the clearest route through the current kitchen, beginning with nigiri before increasingly elaborate combinations move the format toward fusion cooking. Made in Sicily nigiri places seared salmon beneath capers, shifudo sauce and teriyaki, using a familiar two-piece form to introduce Mediterranean salinity and Japanese-style sweetness within the same bite. Chirashi Moriawase changes the proportion of rice and fish through a bowl of mixed cuts with nori and sesame, as Sake Don narrows the composition to salmon over seasoned rice. Sashimi moves away from rice entirely, with larger mixed selections adding scampi and red shrimp to sliced fish before tempura introduces hot crustaceans and vegetables. Ramen with chashu and Singapore noodles carry the menu toward broths and wok cooking, and matcha yakisoba introduces Japanese tea into another noodle preparation. Ebi shumai and steamed meat gyoza add dumplings between raw and cooked courses, giving the table a marked change in temperature and texture. Ono Sushi Reserve uses those shifts between sliced raw fish, seasoned rice, fried seafood, dumplings and noodles to make repeated ordering the central mechanism of the meal without limiting the kitchen to sushi alone.
How to fold Ono Sushi Reserve into your trip.
Ono Sushi Reserve works as the meal anchor for a Porta Venezia itinerary tracing Milanese domestic experimentation from exuberant Liberty architecture through an extraordinary private collection of twentieth-century art and into Piero Portaluppi's subterranean infrastructure beneath Piazza Oberdan.
Begin at Casa Galimberti, designed by Giovanni Battista Bossi and constructed between 1903 and 1905 during the redevelopment of land formerly occupied by the Società Anonima degli Omnibus. Bossi covered the facade with ceramic tiles manufactured by Società Ceramica Lombarda and figurative cement decoration executed by artisans including Carlo Tenenti, creating one of Milanese Liberty's richest integrations of architecture, applied art and industrial production while wrought iron by Arcari e Bellomi completed balconies whose floral patterns extend the composition into three dimensions. Continue to Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, where Antonio Boschi and Marieda Di Stefano assembled more than two thousand works inside the apartment building designed by Piero Portaluppi between 1929 and 1931. Antonio donated the collection to Milan in 1974 and again in 1988, and the apartment opened as a museum in 2003 with three hundred works across eleven rooms, moving through twentieth-century Italian art from Mario Sironi and Giorgio Morandi to Lucio Fontana, Spazialismo and the Informale. Conclude at Albergo Diurno Venezia, the underground public-service complex built beneath Piazza Oberdan between 1923 and 1926 with Portaluppi responsible for its architecture, decoration and furnishings. Approximately 1,200 square meters once combined baths, barbers, manicure stations and services for residents and travelers; closure followed in 2006, then FAI reopened the surviving interior for special visits in 2014 and entered a stewardship agreement with Milan the following year. The progression moves from Bossi's exuberant Liberty synthesis at Casa Galimberti through Boschi and Di Stefano's twentieth-century collection inside a Portaluppi residence and culminates beneath Piazza Oberdan in Portaluppi's conversion of personal grooming and metropolitan service into architecture.
