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)!

Everything in Italian sounds much more magnificent than it really is.:-) Ristorante Giapponese!…read moreSushi Koi! Parco de Medici! Simply means a sushi place. When staying at an area hotel (Sheraton Golf, Holiday Inn, Marriott Park) for extended periods of time on a business trip, hotel restaurant offers limited menu choices and you go through them pretty quickly. Sushi Koi is one of the very few dinner options in the area, without having to drive or catch a ride to the city centre. It is decent and can be good, but the ratio of the price to the food quality and ambience did not impress me. I might be spoiled by San Francisco cuisine at home, but it seems wrong to dine on sushi in Italy (smile). Ordinary experience for me, 3.5 stars.
