Here you will find some very good Japanese food. The cut is not sophisticated, but the fish is generally fresh and the portions fairly generous. It’s not a cheap place where to eat

Via Tiburtina, 131
131 Via TiburtinaThe best ice-cream in San Lorenzo and a very good one in Rome! Delicious!!
An institution not to be missed: a gigantic gelato shop, and the line is daunting, but it moves quickly and you just have to squeeze yourself in. Once you get the (huge!) gelato, it is well worth it!
