It was honestly a great atmosphere, but the sushi here is a scam. It’s really overpriced, and I’m not sure if that’s because it’s part of the hotel, but the quality of the fish just wasn’t there. If you’re a true sushi lover, stay away. If you’re from Italy and don’t know where else to get sushi, I guess this is an option… but it’s not a good one. I was honestly surprised to see so many good reviews — I don’t think these people have ever had real, high-quality sushi before.
Dear Rocco,
We notice this review mirrors another posted from a different profile, which raises questions about authenticity. Regardless, we'll address your points.
While the Live Fusion is indeed part of Hotel La Bussola, we operate as the property's signature fine dining venue - not a standard hotel restaurant. Our pricing reflects our positioning in the luxury dining segment, where culinary innovation and premium ingredients command appropriate value. Those seeking budget sushi options will find numerous all-you-can-eat alternatives in the area.
Your assertion that our guests "have never had real, high-quality sushi before" is particularly interesting, considering our clientele includes international food critics, Michelin-starred chefs, and discerning travelers from Japan itself. Perhaps what you perceive as "scam" pricing, they recognize as fair value for culinary artistry and an exclusive seaside location.
We find it curious that someone would create multiple profiles to voice the same criticism. Authentic feedback is always valuable; orchestrated negativity speaks more about the reviewer than the establishment.

Honestly, very disappointing. I came here because of the good reviews, but I have to say—maybe those reviewers have never had real, authentic sushi.
The rice was mushy and poorly seasoned, the fish had no flavor, and overall the quality was way below standard. Some pieces were borderline inedible.
I truly don’t understand the hype.
If you’re looking for real sushi, this is not the place.
Dear Rocco,
Interesting how your review perfectly echoes the one posted by "Rocco Teresa" - same critique, same rating, same unusual claim about our other guests' palates. Using multiple profiles to amplify a single opinion undermines the credibility of review platforms and, frankly, of your feedback itself.
Nevertheless, let's address your points. The Live Fusion doesn't aim to replicate traditional sushi bars. We're a fusion restaurant where Japanese techniques meet Mediterranean ingredients and contemporary innovation. What you describe as "mushy rice" and "poor seasoning" are deliberate choices in our fusion approach - our sushi rice incorporates local elements and our fish preparations feature marinades and reductions that differ from orthodox Japanese methods.
You're absolutely right that we're "not the place" for those seeking conventional sushi. We're the place for those seeking culinary evolution and new flavor experiences. The "hype" you don't understand comes from guests who appreciate innovation over imitation.
Your coordinated review campaign says more about your methods than our cuisine.
