    Sushisen - Il mio dolce preferito.

    Look, I didn't come all the way to Rome expecting to have one of the best sushi meals I've had in…read moreyears--but Sushisen absolutely delivered. We grabbed seats at the rotating bar (kaiten style), and let me just say that if you're someone who loves watching food go by like it's an edible runway show, this is your jam. Plate after plate of beautifully crafted nigiri, maki, and fresh bites just glide past you, and you can take whatever catches your eye. It's a low-pressure, high-satisfaction way to eat. Nothing felt mass-produced--everything tasted carefully made, with that clean, precise flavor you hope for in sushi. Our favorites were the salmon belly nigiri, which was buttery and rich without being overwhelming. The shrimp tempura roll had the perfect crunch-to-soft-rice ratio. And the spicy tuna had just enough kick to keep it interesting without trying too hard. Even the wasabi felt dialed in--not a sinus assault, just a smart accent. And whoever's in charge of plating back there clearly respects the artform. These plates aren't just tasty--they're a little bit elegant. The interior manages to feel sleek and modern while still being cozy. And since we were seated at the counter we got to watch the chefs at work which was a true highlight. Quiet craftsmanship, no fuss, just focus and intention. Staff were kind and helpful, and while I didn't sample the sake or wine (for religious reasons), the servers never made it weird. Just warm, professional hospitality all around. Pro tip: Sit at the bar, go with an open mind, and trust your eyes. If it looks good, it is good. And maybe skip breakfast--you'll want room for more plates than you think.

    Cold food that had been rotating for hours. Food on the conveyer isn't rotated, despite rotating…read morefor hours. Apparent unconcern from the waitstaff. Embarrassing if this Michelin rated restaurant. Stay away

    Awesome authentic Japanese food prepared by Japanese people! Atmosphere is very zen, at least until…read morethe restaurant really fills up as it gets close to 9pm. Service was awesome, staff speaks Japanese, English and Italian. After almost a month of traveling around the country, it was a welcome culinary change and the authenticity was a huge bonus. Next time in Rome, we will definitely return.

    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.
