Lo Fūfu - Omakase Italiano

The distinctive idea behind Lo Fūfu fluidly combines cultural influences. Lo, a definite article in Italian, and Fūfu from the Japanese for couple, capture precisely this harmony of both culinary traditions - Italian simplicity paired with Japanese perfection. 

Whether for lunch or dinner, chef Amodio Iezza presents his expressive craftsmanship at a long stainless steel counter, where the fresh ingredients are prepared à la minute in front of the guests in an open kitchen. The individual dishes are skilfully complemented with selected wines, sake and classic cocktails. Transparency and dialogue play a central role here and ensure first-class comfort and personal interaction. Iezza says: ‘The courses can be freely combined and are suitable for any occasion - whether as an accompaniment to a drink, during a lunch break or for fine dining in the evening. The possibilities depend solely on your appetite.’ If you want to savour the diversity of this modern cuisine to the full, choose the omakase menu. In keeping with Japanese tradition, various courses are served until the guest decides to finish. 

After five years at To The Bone in Mitte, chef Amodio Iezza, a connoisseur of Italian cuisine, is taking his gastronomic vision to a new level.

At the new Lo Fūfu, he draws inspiration from Japanese cuisine in a constant exploration of textures and flavours. The similarities between the two cuisines speak for themselves: fresh seafood, high-quality meat, seasonal vegetables, noodles or rice - the points of contact are countless and offer an interdisciplinary play with the products to explore regions and climates. Co-owner Ina Freienstein: ‘Food clearly takes centre stage here and the weekly changing menu impresses with its personality and high standards. We believe that the straightforward location offers the perfect conditions for creating a minimalist yet intimate atmosphere - because personal accessibility is crucial for our team.’ Giacomo Mannucci adds: ‘We call our concept “Omakase Italiano”. With our offer, we fit well into the Asian-influenced neighbourhood and at the same time offer a completely new alternative to the existing cuisines.’ 

Itameshi Bar is located in one of the contemporary Sir Hotels, right next to Savignyplatz, which promises uniqueness as part of the independent Sircle Collection hotel group. Here, neighbours meet tourists and the metropolitan vibrancy of the district effortlessly blends day and night when street style and upper class become one. In the midst of this scene, Lo Fūfu creates a new space and invites guests to enjoy exceptional food in an unconventional setting and meet beyond the norm.

The restaurant seats 26 and is open Thursdays to Mondays from 13:00 to 22:00.
