Gusto Di Mare & Sushi Time, Restaurant in Durrës, Albania
Gusto Di Mare & Sushi Time is a restaurant in Durrës, Albania, that serves both seafood dishes and sushi under one roof. The menu covers Mediterranean-style fish and shellfish alongside a range of sushi rolls and other Japanese-inspired options.
Durrës is one of the oldest cities in Albania and has long been a port on the Adriatic, attracting people and goods from across the Mediterranean. As the city grew into a tourism hub, restaurants mixing local and international cooking became a natural part of its food scene.
In Durrës, seafood restaurants often reflect the city's long connection to the Adriatic, and this one adds a Japanese-inspired menu alongside the local catch. The two menus sit side by side, letting guests mix styles within the same meal if they choose.
The restaurant is in Durrës and is easy to reach for visitors staying near the seafront or the city center. Booking ahead is a good idea during summer, when the town fills up with visitors and tables can be hard to find.
The name mixes Italian and English: "Gusto di Mare" means "taste of the sea" in Italian, nodding to the Adriatic just outside the city. Italy sits just across the water from Durrës, which helps explain why Italian culinary references feel so natural along this part of the Albanian coast.
