Trippadvaisòr In Santa maria capua vetere

09/10/2025: Party of three, we shared two platters (30 and 20 pieces) of sushi, couple drinks. Everything was really good from food to service

02/10/2025: We had a great experience last night at Saomaki. The restaurant is located near St. Paul's Cathedral in a very elegant setting. Inside, the restaurant is very nice; the concept is that of a more refined izakaya, and the Japanese decor, with all the wood furnishings, conveys this impression. We started with a small entree featuring revisited dragon fruit and tempura shrimp (€13), with a truly dense and crispy tempura. We opted for a sushi dinner, taking advantage of the 30-piece mix (€50). Everything was perfect except the warm nigiri made with crispy rice, which was a bit too crunchy for my taste. We also tried individual nigiri of amberjack (€7) and salmon (€6). The piranha gyoza (€16) with their incredibly tender picanha filling are truly unique. Don't be fooled, they're not an appetizer; in fact, they're included as main courses because they're generous and truly substantial. One plate for two is more than enough to enjoy them, and in my opinion, I couldn't have eaten more. We washed it all down with a bottle of Ribolla Gialla (€30). We finished the dinner with dulce de Leiche and pistachio cheesecake (€6 and €7). A wonderful evening in a splendid location with excellent food. At €148, I think the quality/price ratio is well respected. I can't wait to go back.
