Auberge Il Gastro Sara

The service was impeccable, and every course was spectacular. Fresh ingredients and impressive skill made for an unforgettable meal at this beautiful restaurant. I’ll go again.

My wife and I have lived here for five years in total, and this is easily the nicest place we’ve eaten, including the fancy hotels. We chose il Gastro Sara for our wedding anniversary and left amazed by both the food and the staff’s care. They explained each course and made us feel as if we were the only people there. Once they learned it was our anniversary, they prepared a special dessert plate with a happy anniversary message, then changed the music and lighting as they brought it over. We felt so honored and loved. It’s a lovely spot for an intimate special dinner, and we’ll definitely return.

The service was welcoming and attentive, and every course felt unique. The food was fresh, with incredible plating and presentation. For fine dining, this was world-class and stood up to places I’ve tried in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. I’d readily call it one of Okinawa’s best restaurants.

My boyfriend gave me this nine-course dinner for Christmas, and il Gastro Sara was wonderful from the first course to the last. You don’t need to speak Japanese to get by, since they speak some English, but the food felt like the language we all shared. Every sauce and texture had us amazed. The restaurant clearly takes pride in what it serves. The menu changes every other season, so the dishes will be different when you visit, but I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. It would suit couples, friends, or small gatherings. We even joked and sketched out ideas for a future wedding dinner here. We can’t wait to visit again and eat more.
