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.

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

To my knowledge, this is the only one Japanese restaurant with sushi without avocado and with the correct rice. If you know another authentic Japanese restaurant in Rome, let me know. I love to eat sushi here.

My family and I have always been to various Asian restaurants and have been rather ‘experienced’ with Japanese food in particular, and this has only heightened our expectations. We ordered quite a lot of food, and it was clear that every dish was fresh and delicious. The salmon teriyaki in particular was so good and flavourful!
The lady serving us was so sweet and patient, and she took our order with care. The decoration of the restaurant is also very nice, and it’s as if you get transported in a different place entirely the moment you step in.
Overall, it was a real pleasure to come here, and I’d gladly come again! :)

We are big fans of Japanese cuisine and this restaurant did not disappoint. From the delicious traditional dishes to the service, everything was perfect. The owner was really kind. We tried many different dishes, all delicious in particular the sukiyaki and the pork cutlets.

We found this beautiful restaurant in the Kenta guide and really liked it. We went there for an important dinner, and returned the next day for lunch. The environment is enchanting, carefully furnished, silent, with instrumental background music typical of Japan. It has an exciting atmosphere. The service is very fast, the dishes are typical, the sushi is made with the freshest raw materials, and with great wisdom, creativity and respect for tradition. The traditional cuisine dishes are no exception. Prices are adequate, therefore medium-high for dinner. At lunch they offer a fixed menu at 17 euros with many courses, which allows you to eat very well, for little.
An affectionate thank you to the owner and the gentleman in the kitchen: it was really nice to be their guests, to talk to them about our projects and their history and culture.
It will be a fixed stop when we are in Rome.
Heartfelt thanks from Sofia and Francesco
