Lunch Menu
Lunch at Buzo starts at noon on Jalan Kayu Aya, Seminyak. The Itameshi kitchen brings Japanese and Italian cooking to the same table: sushi and nigiri, pizza, handmade pasta and teppan rice, with the Pizza Sandwich served at lunch.
Begin with Tuna Sashimi, where pickled green tomato, aged ponzu and burnt butter bring brightness and richness to the fish, or Katsu Cacio e Pepe Macaroni finished with shaved Parmigiano, mortadella and rocket. A pizza for the table makes an easy companion to sushi or pasta.

Questions we are often asked

First bites. Good company.
Begin with Tuna Sashimi, where pickled green tomato, aged ponzu and burnt butter bring brightness and richness to the fish. Tempura Zucchini Flowers take the meal in another direction: crisp batter giving way to mozzarella and ricotta, with honey and whipped goat's cheese adding sweetness and tang. Katsu Cacio e Pepe Macaroni brings a more playful indulgence, finished with shaved Parmigiano, mortadella and rocket.
These are dishes made for that early part of the meal, when cocktails are still in hand and everyone is deciding what to try next.
Pizza with personality.
Pizza is one of Buzo's most accessible expressions of Itameshi. Chili Miso Beef Pizza layers gochujang beef, sweet corn butter, nori and miso béchamel into a deeply savoury combination. Japanese Prawn Margherita brings shiso and rayu oil to pomodoro, mozzarella and stracciatella.
There is room for the classics, too. A Margherita offers the familiar pleasure of tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil; Quattro Formaggi goes richer, with four cheeses, walnut, thyme and hot honey. A pizza for the table makes an easy companion to sushi, pasta or another round at the bar.
Two cultures. One appetite.
Itameshi connects the precision of Japanese cooking with the generosity of the Italian table. At Buzo, that connection comes alive through ingredients. Miso gives ricotta greater savoury depth. Kombu brings a briny richness to pasta. Shiso adds an aromatic lift to seafood, while Japanese seasonings find a natural place alongside butter, tomato and cheese.
There is care behind those combinations: balancing richness with acidity, softness with crunch, and familiar flavours with something worth discovering. For guests, the pleasure is immediate. Order something you know, something that catches your curiosity, and a little more for the centre of the table.
