Just left this restaurant with my wife an her Aunt. Lets start with the financials. It was 30 euro…read moreper person, I found this reasonable for Brazilian rodizio. Water was 2 euro, acceptable for tap water in rome I suppose. But they asked if we would like the roasted pineapple, we said yes as it is very common with this type of meal, and that came to 10 euro additional which I was shocked at. I'm wondering if that's a 10 euro penalty for being a tourist. I handed them a 20 euro bill at the counter and he said thank you, pretty presumptuous, I asked for change. Supposedly they only have 10 euro, so I would have to leave 10 euro tip to get change. I left 7 in coin. The sausage was dry. They had chicken, ham, Turkey bacon, and beef 3 or 4 different ways which were all delicious. They only had 8 types of meat. The place was dead as we were the only people there for most of our meal until one other couple came in. They said it's because it's Sunday in the summer. This only bothers me because of the buffet with salads and mayo and such...unless we are to believe they throw it all out at the end of the night. If I could do it all over again I would take that money and go get some fancy seafood. Not fried calamari before your pasta. I mean go get a lobster and some prawns or somethings awesome for the same money.

None of the staff spoke English but thankfully there was a QR code to pull the menu up in English. They describe themselves as Nippo-Brazilian sushi cuisine. I don't really know what that means but the Gramada was certainly not like anything I had ever eaten. It had a great flavor but a very unusual texture.

We came right when they opened for dinner service, we were asked if we had dinner reservations, which we did not, but were still seated (was a little odd since by the time we left the restaurant was still mostly empty). Food was good and came out quick, although we did get the more tamer options with less of the Brazilian flair. Overall, was a good alternative to the normal Italian cuisine.

Fantastic sushi restaurant near the Vatican City. It was perfect to eat here after our 4 hour long…read moreVatican tour. We had eaten at the other restaurant near the Colosseum and it was equally as good. This restaurant has multiple floors, all accessed by spiral staircases. It is really a beautiful layout, but look closely for the restaurant as you're walking by since there is no big sign, just the sign on the door. Any of their sushi rolls are great, but I would recommend the tempura and the Mexican sushi roll. If I could give 10 stars I would! Perfect for when you are a little *sick* of eating Italian food!

Mine is a four star review for the food which slips to three at the final count for a few service…read moreoddities. The latest food fashion in Rome has seen Brazilian Sushi become a "thing", largely thanks to the success of the growing Temakinho empire (with five restaurants now nationwide). Temakinho is a useful point of reference here for its extremely stylish restaurant interiors and its high quality, varied menu. Manioka has a slightly scaled down menu but the portion sizes are slightly larger and the quality is, on the whole, good. The cocktails on offer here include caipirnha and caipiroska variants, mixed with tropical fruits. I had a passion fruit caipirinha (€9), which was excellent with sharp, natural accents - and low on the brown sugar. I then started with a mixed ceviche (€12) which was fresh and moreish, uniting marinated prawns, squid and sea-fish in a zingy lime marinade, attractively presented in a ceramic dish. I then moved on to sea-bass rolls dressed with a spicy sauce (€11), and technically containing avocado. I was very disappointed to see that the avocado was just a green smear of paste in the heart of each roll, rather than including an actual sliver of avocado. As these were the only two ingredients apart from the rice, it was an important oversight. I was dining in an usually large party - there were 11 of us - but the roll portions were all served together on huge platters, which made it very difficult to identify and take your food. It was really impractical and didn't suit the quality of the restaurant. Serving each portion of eight rolls on individual dishes would have been a very easy fix by the kitchens. As it was, the plates had to go up and down the tables, while everyone tried to take their food. Another oddity: sushi often ends up being finger food, and can get messy. Why, then, were we supplied with one tiny cocktail napkin each? Also, not to be a stickler for etiquette, but cocktail napkins should only be used to serve drinks at the bar - their minute dimensions are designed to soak up the drips of water from an iced glass, not wipe ones hands, as they disintegrate immediately. The starter and first set of rolls hadn't abated my hunger, so I ordered a second set of rolls, this time the "copacabana", (€12) which was mixed fish dressed with slivers of lime - and very tasty it was too. The food was highly seasoned so we ordered multiple bottles of water. Imagine our horror when one member of our party noted that we were paying €2.50 for each 50 cl bottle of water (the tiny half litre sizes that you usually stash in your bag). Every restaurant has to make on a mark-up somewhere, but when you're eating great fish you don't mind adding a euro or two on the food prices. To try and make your money on the water as a restaurant seems a little bit squalid. I hope that Manioka reads reviews - with a few easy fixes they could totally earn the four stars they deserve.
