" I came to Sesamo after hearing great things from friends, and it did not disappoint! The décor is lovely with soft lighting that creates a cozy atmosphere. We shared a variety of appetizers, and all of them were delicious—especially the fried artichokes. For main courses, the Nigiri was fresh and flavorful, and the duck ragu was rich and decadent. Our waiter was fantastic, offering excellent recommendations. I can't wait to return and explore more of the unique menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sesamo impressed me from the start! The creative concept really shows through in their menu. I went with friends and we shared a variety of appetizers—all of them were fantastic, particularly the roasted broccoli with peanut sauce. The desserts were super inventive; the chocolate katsu bread is a must-try! All of us left satisfied and eager to come back and try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing ambiance and service! The atmosphere was so inviting, and we felt welcomed all evening. Although I was excited to try the food given the fusion concept, I felt some dishes were lacking in authenticity. The matcha tiramisu was beautifully presented but didn't capture the essence of a traditional dessert. I would recommend it for a casual dining experience with friends, where the conversation will be the highlight! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Sesamo was an adventure in culinary arts! The concept of merging Asian and Italian cuisines was refreshing, and while some dishes exceeded expectations, others did not mesh well. The Chicken Liver dish was superb but my Lobster Ravioli left me wanting more in terms of flavor. The atmosphere was vibrant—perfect for a fun evening out. Service was prompt and kind. Looking forward to the next visit, hoping for an even better experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit at Sesamo was pleasant; however, the food was a mixed bag. The lasagna was magnificent—truly a standout. But some of the Asian infused dishes didn't quite work for my palate. While I appreciated the creativity, I advocate for classic interpretations too. The ambiance kept us comfortable, and the service was fantastic! It’s a place I could see myself returning to, but I may stick to Italian dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sesamo last Saturday for dinner, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a date night. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the duck ragu pappardelle, which was wonderfully rich and full of flavor, while my partner enjoyed the truffle lasagna that was both decadent and comforting. The highlight was definitely the dessert, the Matcha tiramisu which had a lovely balance of sweetness and bitterness. I'll certainly be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh what a charming restaurant! Sesamo offers a delightful blend of Asian and Italian cuisine that was unexpectedly wonderful. I tried several dishes and each one presented a lovely balance of flavors. The coconut miso salmon was impressive! Our waiter treated us like royalty, and the atmosphere is perfectly suited for a lovely night out. Would definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)
