Restaurant review: Itameshi, Nicosia

January 19, 2023

It is very difficult to define what fusion cuisine actually is, if only for its constant evolution, a byproduct of globalisation and migratory phenomena influencing cultures all over the world.

Even the most traditional Cypriot dishes are somewhat fusion, as people transiting over the course of the centuries have inevitably changed the way people eat on the island.

The latest addition to the fusion restaurant scene in Nicosia, however, is definitely an unusual one. Itameshi opened a few months ago near the Famagusta Gate, where the historical Bastione used to be, and combines elements of Japanese and Italian cuisine.
