Japanese Restaurant in Rome – It’s not a Tourist Trap!
Usually we suggest not to eat near tourist attractions with their horrible service and tourist prices, and low quality!! But we tried Tora Sushi & Asian Cuisine a few and found out this is NOT a tourist trap!
If it is possible to feel two strong passions simultaneously in a love relationship, as the poet Catullo wrote in the 1st century B.C. “Odi et Amo” (I hate and I love); it is certainly not possible with sushi: you love it or hate it, that’s it! Even while living in the ancient capital of the world, sushi lovers might feel a craving for the Japanese delicacy and wonder where to find tasty sushi and sashimi. We have been hunting for you and found Tora, a sleek and neat authentic Japanese restaurant next to Piazza Navona, on Corso Rinascimento 71.
The menu offers a wide variety of scrumptious choices. We had an assortment of uramaki rolls: avocado, salmon & Philadelphia cheese, and also spicy tuna; salmon & avocado hosomaki, Tori Kastu: a Japanese cutlet of curry chicken served with rice, a super tasty Tempura and Wok Calamari sautéed with asparagus, broccoli, ginger, Tobanjan chili with oyster sauce, and a hint of lime simply to die for.
All the entrees were fresh and flavorful and each had a pure Asian spirit. The renowned Japanese chefs, Koji Nakai and Ayako Shimizu take great care in selecting the best quality ingredients and proudly create both traditional and innovative recipes: to honor the Japanese tradition as well as to harmonize their experience with contemporary inspirations in new forms of cuisine. The service was truly remarkable; the staff welcomed us with a complimentary prosecco and a sample appetizer. The waiter was very polite and friendly without being phony. It was a great dining experience, highly recommended. “Provare per credere” as Italians say.
