Tanuki Izakaya In Roma

I've been there a couple of times and both have been a great experience. Wide choice of starters and many dishes on the daily menu. A special mention to the takoyaki, which usually don't excite me, but which are truly amazing!! The udon is also delicious, both in broth and in the wok.

The classic Japanese restaurant! Forget about uramaki and hosomaki and get ready to take a real journey into Japanese cuisine! The food is excellent, from the starters, to the first courses and up to the desserts. Special mention for the meat ravioli (the only dish that I don't share with anyone, they are so good that everyone must have the entire portion!) and for the udon, I have never tried such a good broth. Very attentive, attentive and kind service. It's now my favorite place!

Crazy experience. Great quality of the dishes and competence in presenting them. A real izakaya - which I didn't know before coming here - in the Ostiense neighborhood. Highly recommended 🍜🎌

Little corner of Japan. Advised

Japanese restaurant where you won't find the usual sashimi, nigiri, uramaki...etc. but many other typical Japanese dishes.

I am not a fan of oriental cuisine however I have eaten in various restaurants. I have to say that Tanuky is the best!!!..the staff are all very nice and welcoming, the environment is clean and tidy, despite not being excessively large there is no confusion. The food???.Excellent..!!! Excellent choice of ingredients, all very tasty and good, not heavy.! The stuffed courgette flowers are truly something exceptional, the fried food is dry...good fried food!!... I must admit that it was really pleasant to have dinner and satisfying to eat at Tanuky.... we will return to visit them!!

I wanted to try Tanuki with my partner on a special day; being both fans of Japanese cuisine and culture and having visited authentic Japanese places in Tokyo and Kanazawa, obviously we didn't hope to be able to breathe that atmosphere in a Roman neighborhood, however we pleasantly changed our minds having found in this izakaya much of the atmosphere that we breathed there. And this not only in the environment, also in the food and service. Many different courses all excellently made, with also a lot of variety in the drinks. Attentive and precise service as well as very punctual. Pleasantly surprised by the takoyaki with cheese, which are soft as in the tradition of the rising sun, compared to the crispy fried balls that can be found in all-you-can-eat restaurants, although I would have liked to taste more of the octopus inside. Even the dessert and the recommended sake proved to be a winning combination that distinctly closed an already excellent meal. Obviously the sore point comes at the moment of the bill, which as far as I can understand the excellent level of service offered always makes one turn up their nose a little when every time you eat a particular ethnic cuisine you have to be ready to shell out a lot more than the intrinsic value of the dishes. Furthermore, there was a lack of service or presentation features of a real izakaya, in addition to the fact that one can easily eavesdrop on other people's conversations, as there are often different diners sitting at the same table and separated by a simple curtain, which makes a scene for goodness' sake, but certainly leaves no room for intimacy. The waiters may seem a little cold but they are attentive and respectful of the customer. Having clarified these things, for a place of this type which is unique in Rome, I feel comfortable giving the highest marks, albeit with the note that it can always be done better.

Un locale che mi ha fatto conoscere una amica giapponese ed effettivamente rispetto a tanti ristoranti rinomati giapponesi in città è sicuramente meno fashion ma conserva maggiormente le tipicità della cucina giapponese. Ottima la lavagna con i piatti del giorno e l’offerta di innumerevoli sale. Prezzi adeguati alla bontà del cibo . Peccato forse i tavoli troppo vicini .

I will be back, the flavors were spectacular

Sembra di stare in izakaya in Giappone. I piatti sono buoni anche le bevande a base di sakè o shochu. Vi consiglio!
