So reservation is highly recommended; especially if you want outside seating. We weren't able to make a reservation online but I called in the morning of - and was able to secure a reservation. Score! Between the 4 of us, we ordered a variety of dishes. In particular, their noodles are excellent and better than what I had expected. Excellent ramen and soba noodles!!! Wow... it's true that "any" pasta tastes better in Rome. lol Their sushi is also excellent... we polished off every last piece that we ordered. Excellent and friendly service, and seating is comfy and very clean. Outside seating is alway preferred especially during the warmer weather; but their inside seating is very comfy and nice too. Excellent dining experience.

First time visiting Rome and my family and I love asian food, being from Hawaii. We were…read morerecommended this restaurant by our family friend who visited prior and said the food was really good. We came for lunch and dinner because there are limited asian cuisine options. The restaurant was empty both times, but staff were very rude. While talking to them, you can tell how impatient they were by the amount of times they rolled their eyes - even just for asking for water. Being the only asian group present amongst other parties, they seemed to be only rude to us. Felt highly discriminated and disappointed in the customer service. Food was good but not worth putting up with the attitude and disrespectful service. Will not be coming back again.

The chef/owner runs a cooking class and has written a book or two so it's got that going for it. These side hustles are very well advertised and look like a fun time. Maybe a cooking class for a future visit? For dinner we shared a Margarita pizza and one of us had Cacio e Pepe. Along with pizza goes a beer, so I had a Moretti draft. The food was prepared very well and was delicious! We found later that they have a second location about 2 blocks away. We went by it later and saw it was much more crowded (closer to the Trevi Fountain!). Overall, it's a cute place with pretty good food. I recommend trying it.

There is no English menu, but the server was kind enough to translate. I had the Mamaya ramen - a chicken based broth. I'm not used to chicken based ramen. The broth seemed like it was lacking something. The egg and pork were spot-on. The noodles were also perfect. The onigri was solid. I had the chicken one, while my buddy had the caramelized one. Their names were intricate. The pork gyozas were good, but I could lived without them. Could have gotten another onigri or more noodles and been happy. Overall if you have a craving for ramen, this ramen shop will satisfy you, but you will have to pay a little extra.

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.

They usually take reservations only; but you can sometimes get lucky (like we did as a table for two) by waiting before they opened for a walk-in spot. We did have to get there before their official 6pm dinner time opening and wait 45 min to get a seating time on a weekday (a line was already forming prior to 6pm), but it was well worth it. (Plus it was nicely air conditioned! Which was rare in center city Rome) Food wise, we got their zucchini soup, braised duck with plums, carbonara, and tiramisu. My husband really enjoyed the braised duck, and I ordered the carbonara, which was especially delicious -- it was a perfect pasta texture, nice and eggy, with small bits of crispy fried pork mixed in! It was so so good. I wish we could've tried more pastas here!! They looked so simple but tasted incredible. Servers were also friendly and attentive!
