Kujira In Roma

22/03/2025: What makes Rokko special is that it is a real restaurant: - It does not imitate the "fast-food" model or those "industrial restaurants" McDonald's style with dishes prepared quickly in large quantities, all the same and at acceptable prices. - It does not imitate the "michelin stars" model or those "fake restaurants", built by TV, where yes there is a maniacal attention to the dish that makes it unique and inimitable, cooked by a team of 10-15 people and served by the same number of people in the dining room, where a sidereal gap is created between those who eat (who do it for the "experience") and those who cook (who do it for the star and to sell you a plate of pasta for €35, delicious, and of course) Rokko, on the other hand, is a real restaurant Wife, husband and son, a passion for cooking and for their country, Japan, a small place that does not reach twenty tables, and indeed a "real", welcoming, familiar atmosphere. You feel comfortable in jeans, trousers or a dress. At lunch there is a dedicated lunch menu: salad, typical broth and main course for €17. Add a drink and lunch is complete and filling. To this we added a selection of about 12 pieces of rice/sushi (€40), Sake (€12) and water, for a total of €96 (€43 each), but precisely because we wanted to try something more. Ramen is not on the menu but only on order and reservation. Reservations are always recommended, even via Google Maps it is quick and fast. If I were in Rome I would go there constantly.

03/03/2025: Very good food, but prices a little expensive. What ruins the experience a bit is the owner who is visibly pissed off and almost seems to be offended by the questions asked of him. He brings the dishes to the table almost throwing them and always with a grumpy attitude. It's a shame because the food was top notch
