Welcome to Hio Oriental Bar, the place where Japanese tradition meets the vibrant energy of Sicilian culture.

With chef Filippo Gugino at the helm, we invite you to a unique dining experience that defies convention and delights your senses.

Filippo Gugino for the second year in a row gets the Three Wands, the highest award given by the prestigious guide ,this recognition is not just an award, but the fruit of a path made of passion, research and daily dedication.For Hio, the award represents much more than a simple confirmation: it is the symbol of an ongoing commitment to tell a cuisine that combines the Japanese philosophy of respect for raw materials with Mediterranean sensibility. Each dish is born from precise and passionate teamwork, where every detail becomes part of a collective tale made of shared hands, thoughts and dreams.With the reconfirmation of the Three Chopsticks, Hio sushilab establishes itself as an ambassador of Sicily in the auteur sushi scene, combining the essence of the Japanese sea with the richness of the island’s territory. The restaurant’s philosophy is based on a clear idea: quality is not a point of arrival, but a constantly evolving path.This new milestone then becomes the starting point for continuing to grow, improve and offer cuisine that never ceases to excite. In each creation, Filippo renews his promise: to keep alive the passion and curiosity that have made his name synonymous with excellence and authenticity. Hence Hio oriental , Daughter of my flavor travels and inspired by the Japanese Izakayas, was born. Another concept of welcoming and expressing my cuisine full of scents and flavors gathered in a unique setting.
