The fish was fresh and delicious. The sushi was a bit smaller than back home, but good. We added a couple of "take away" orders for family not with us and left very satisfied with our experience.

After reading several reviews on Yelp, we decided to give Rokko a try. The owner was very…read morefriendly. She speaks fluent English, Japanese, and Italian. We went on a Monday evening. It was one of the rare sushi places that was actually open on Monday. It was also quite warm in the restaurant. Admittedly, we were in Rome during a major heat wave, so maybe their A/C just didn't have the power to keep up. As far as the rolls go, they had the typical sushi rolls that you find in most sushi restaurants. It tasted fresh and was pretty good basic sushi rolls. Maybe it's me or maybe my sushi has become to "americanized", but I like places that have specialty rolls. I like the ones that have spicy mayo sauce, or smelt roe, or avocado slices on top, or tuna/salmon on top, or spicy pepper, or etc etc etc. In my opinion, Rokko was simply basic sushi. Don't get me wrong. It was good, just basic. Bottom line - Open on Monday (at least during the summer months). Good but basic sushi. I wanted more variety in the rolls. Personally, if I want sushi the next time I'm in Rome, I may try a different place first simply to see if they have better variety. If you do decide to try Rokko, I think you'll be treated well by the staff. They're friendly. Bon appétit.

Ristorante Giapponese Sakura in Ostia is located not far from the seashore, and is relatively short…read moredistance from Fiumicino airport. The district of Lido di Ostia is about twice the distance from the city center, or Centro Storico, as Aurelia is. If your Roman holiday happens during warmer months, you might want to plan a visit to Ostia, in which case Sakura is worth the try. It's actually a short walking distance from the wharf and beach area. Italian cuisine is the most represented type of food you find in Rome, as a general rule. Coming from Northern California, where we're lucky to see an abundance of world cuisines, I find it surprising that Italians actually eat Italian food - you really have to search for anything other. Granted, nowadays there are more Asian or Japanese restaurants in Italy than ever before, but you still have to search for it. I have found it here at Sakura. The ambiance is appropriately Japanese, with low tables if that's what you prefer, and also of regular height, accompanied by typical Japanese decor. Fresh sushi (nigiri, maki, temaki) and sashimi, miso, vegetable tempura, seafood udon, chicken katsu, pork tonkatsu (cutlet), beef teriyaki, salmon yaki - all of your usual suspects are on the menu. Everything is of the highest quality and well priced. I found this restaurant a refreshing change from everything Italian, I was longing for sushi. Regrettably, I have no photos to upload of Sakura's food, as my phone was acting up and Internet connection was slow - can't say the same of my appetite (everything disappeared in my tummy before my eyes adjusted and my patience caught up)!

Great food, Great experience…read more If you are looking for great sushi in Roma you must stop by this place and you must have Omar as your waiter. After your dinner try their Green Tea tiramisu. Thank you Omar for great experience

I first came here when I visited Rome 2 years ago when I had been in Italy for 4 weeks, and wanted…read moreto try something else besides Italian food... and I'm really glad I came upon this place. I liked it enough that when I visited again a few weeks ago, I went back and had yet again another pleasant experience. The service was great: attentive, very friendly and helpful, and made me feel comfortable. The food is great too, probably some of the best Japanese food I've ever had. And the prices are very reasonable in my opinion, compared to what you'd be paying everywhere else in Rome (for the most part). Also the ambiance I'm a fan of: the décor and design in there is so nice! This place is a high-recommend from me - if you want to try some really great Japanese food in Rome, Taki is the best place to go.
