Daruma Sushi

When it comes to international food, Rome is still trailing behind its big and bold metropolitan sister-cities in Europe, like Milan, London and Paris. As with all things in Rome, the city needs a little extra time to make way for change. But that's not to say that finding foreign food in the Ancient City is absolutely obsolete. Over the last few years, Sushi and Japanese food has been welcomed with open arms by Romans, making the cuisine trendissimo. Indeed, little by little sushi restaurants around Rome are sprouting up like mushrooms. A Roman favorite is Daruma sushi, a chain of take-away sushi shops and dine-in restaurants. There are currently 4 dine-in take-away sushi shops and 3 restaurants in the EUR, Piazza Bologna and Prati neighborhoods. The newest shop to join the family of Daruma restaurants, which opened in December is located right in the heart of Centro Storico at Piazza Parlamento, a prime spot for politics. Who knows? Maybe we'll be seeing Mr. Berlusconi there some day.
