Doozo

Rome has its share of Japanese restaurants, mainly serving run-of-the-mill sushi and a handful of hot dishes. Doozo, an art gallery and restaurant in Monti, diverges from the pack with its highly seasonal a la carte and tasting menus. At lunch, a limited selection of sushi, broths, and tempura are served to a professional crowd—it’s not far from Italy’s national bank headquarters—while in the evening, there's a more extensive menu. When the weather is warm, Doozo also has a nice outdoor garden trimmed by an ancient Roman wall.
