Its on the same street as the Church of Santa Cecelia approximately 100 feet away. The plate costs $9 Euros per person. You get one full plate of all and any of your choices from the buffet counter. The restaurant offers a variety of authentic Italian items to choose from. You do not get to go back for seconds, so make sure you fill your plate. I think that the plate of food each of us had was a great value for the price we paid. Their drinks, coffee, and desserts are all reasonably priced. The ladies behind the counter are very nice and fun to speak to. TIP They do have a restroom so use it before you leave.

The food and drinks were tasty, though not exceptional. I'd return given it's value, except the service was honestly terrible. Despite our attempts to get attention, we were ignored while others were promptly served (this is for drinks, food is self-serve). My sister had to wave down a server to order her first drink. Later on, she was offered a second drink, but I was never asked if I wanted another. At the end, a server who I'd never seen came over to check us out. I think because he spoke English. When it was time to pay, he asked how much we wanted to pay. This was his way to ask for a tip, which is not typical in Italy, but since they profiled us as Americans immediately, i understand the attempt. My sister named the check amount and he processed it. After that, he said, "you know that that cost does not include a service charge?" She was taken aback and asked "oh, is there a service charge to eat here?" because sometimes there are service charges to eat at Italian cafes, but they are usually included in the bill. He laughed and said yes but walked away. This might be a tourist scam, as other reviews noted similar experiences, and the business stated tips are not mandatory. For locals, it's a great deal to enjoy a few drinks (around €8.50 each) and hang out with friends. While we were there it did appear to be the norm to camp out for a while.

Very nice traditional Japanese sushi restaurant in Rome. The all you can eat offer for 20 euro is definitely worth it. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and made quick to order. The various appetizers all were tasty and obviously endless. The only thing that keeps it from a 5-star rating was the lack of selection when it came to actual rolls. Although very well made and delicious, their roll selection was not very extensive or "wild" which I look for in sushi restaurants. A nice touch was the inclusion of a Chinese menu which was also included in the 20 euro price and all of them looked very fresh and delicious. I had the spicy shrimp and rice noodles selections which were both made very well. I will definitely be going back very soon!

I'm a big fan of Japanese food, having stuck to more traditional restaurants in the past to get my fill of sashimi, one of my favourite elements of Nippon cuisine. Imagine my delight upon understanding that I could order unlimited sashimi here (I was under the impression that certain, more expensive dishes, might be limited). The night started well with a copious selection of sushi and sashimi, ordered in conjunction with my five fellow diners. It's AYCE, so I focus on the fish, overlooking other delicacies that I usually enjoy, such as tempura and soba noodles. The seaweed is heavily vinegared without much other flavour. The tuna sashimi has no flavour at all, while the salmon is a little more tasty, probably due to its natural oil content. The experience is one of a feeding frenzy, without care for flavour or presentation: the sushi are fashioned expertly enough, but garlicky mayo and other California-style rolls are a bit of a turn-off. By the end of the evening, we've over-eaten and I have the sense of having binged for the sake of it, rather than enjoying what I usually consider an exquisite ethnic choice. Obviously, the restaurant's not to blame for the piggishness of the diners, but it's a formula I don't enjoy and which seems far from the central reason of why I go out for dinner.
