Asiatico Waterfront Fusion Sushi

This place is wonderful. The waterfront view from the windows is beautiful, especially for such a hidden gem. The music they were playing was lounge covers of common pop and rock songs. It was a fun talking point as we waited for our food. The menu was almost overwhelming with all the options available. We shared deliciously spiced edamame as an appetizer. I have never had anything like it, as most edamame is merely salted. I ate a poke bowl, and I think I will dream of it for weeks. The poke was presented as shredded tuna mixed with seaweed and spices, atop rice with cucumber salad and cabbage. Every bite of this meal was pure happiness, and was the highlight of my new years day. I ate a dessert unlisted on the menu: Lava cake. It was delicious, though probably should be served with ice cream. The service was good, but I think they may be understaffed. I felt that my waiter was doing the best he could, although he wasn't available consistently. I don't think it was his fault, because I could see how busy he was the entire time. Vegetarian options: I feel there could be substitutions made, though I don't remember there being many options.

My partner and I are huge sushi enthusiasts and we’re excited to try this place in Newport. We both have been the most violently ill since eating here. We had the Oyster’s, Stuffed Jalapeños Peppers, the Sugar Mama, Spicy Yellowtail and another Salmon roll. This all tasted fine at the time, but within the next hour we began what has been the most painful and disgusting 24 hours for our bodies. We didn’t sleep more than 2 hours last night, and basically had to take turns at the toilet. The sushi was the only thing we ate yesterday besides a muffin in the morning and we’ve never gotten so sick after eating at a place. Never again. I wish we could get refunded for the pain it’s caused. We love supporting small businesses but unfortunately something was not properly cared for before it was served to us.

Water front view, food was great and the staff friendly and accommodating!

Our server was very friendly and up beat. The Food was delicious. Sweet location on the end of the pier.

The Rice suprisingly did not taste seasoned. The waitress young eager unpolished & inexperienced. Outdoor seating super windy & can take napkins to the sea. A few rocks on every table might reduce incidental pollution. Highly recommend Asiatico's wide Sake selection. . Friendly polite and worth the penny.

Excellent sushi. what a hidden gem. Anyone visiting the Newport Area down on the wharf should stop in and check it out. This is a fantastic sushi place. During the summer, you can enjoy sitting out on the dock. The perfect place to watch the ships come in and view the historic Newport bridge and sunset.
