    We had the wagyu and it was amazing! One of the best we’d ever tasted. It wasn’t on the menu, so I recommend asking for it! Great service! This restaurant has top service and we will definitely come back!

    We ordered some sushi rolls, starter and a main course. The food was very special, made from great materials, fresh and delicious, wet the combination was not tasty for us. For example- the mixture of pistachio cream and salmon sushi was not ok. The salmon main course was a bit small in my opinion, the fish was perfectly cooked, but it was still not the one of the best fish I ate, because of its dressing. Atmosphere was very good. Looks of the restaurant is perfect.

    The moment we entered the restaurant we knew we made the right choice. Very nice ambiance, the staff was nice and helpful. We really enjoyed all the meals that we ordered. Open till late, we booked our reservation by the time most restaurants where closed.

    The restaurant was quite quiet on a Tuesday evening. We missed the musician that was playing last time we were here. The service was very good, very attentive and polite but unobtrussive. The food was excellent and portion sizes spot on. This is an expensive restaurant but we knew that and we were celebrating a family birthday so decided to splash out.

    After a wonderful week of Roman specialities we were looking for something different for my birthday. Great blend on the two, japanese, fusion and an Italian twist . Great service, food and atmosphere. Was a little pricey but worth the spend

    The food is good as well as the services. However for the sushi I beleive they can do better (not worth the price At ALL) but the starters, primi and secondi piati were really fantastic.

    Waiter and waitress were nice to me but did not seem to know much about the fish when I asked if it was local. Overall, ok experience. But we have better sushi in the U.S, specifically where I am from, Seattle and New York. Next time, I will opt for the other dishes. The octopus appetizer was different and pretty good.

    Disappointing - labeled as the Nobu of Rome, felt like a diner experience. Slow service, no refill on water/wines, awful quality of sushi. Had to send back Tuna roll as it was not fresh.

    I have nothing about music during a meal but in this occasion, beside the music, there was a saxophone player which did not make any sense.

    The waiters need to smile more and the bathroom must be more clean. Italian girls pees on the floors for some reason so you understand the domino effect of that -urine on the floor also in the dining area because it’s on the shoes. BUT: the food is great, location is perfect and the interior is beautiful. Thank you!

    Went to Somo to celebrate my sushi loving daughter's birthday. We expected it to be good but pricey and it was really good but pricey. Shown to a regular table we asked to be moved to a sunken table which they did with no fuss. We started with excellent tempura and then 3 different sushis which were all superb, the best I've had although I'm not an expert. We were already feeling full so asked if we could cancel the remaining order of honey glazed salmon. We thought the waitress understood but the salmon duly arrived so we ate it and that was excellent too. I accompanied my food with warm sake which was also good. The whole dining experience was excellent and a great treat for my daughter. the ambiance was very pleasant with a musician playing gentle jazz on flute and saxophone. I could not fault the food, it was truly great. The bill was over 100Euro which i expected but was charged for a more expensive sake than I ordered and when I challenged it they did not change the bill which disappointed.

    I am not an expert of Japanese cuisine. I have tried it every now and then, but dining at Somo was one of the best. A little bit expensive, but the quality of food was excellent. The atmosphere is charming and relaxing.

    We are regular visitors to this restaurant. In a quiet part of center town it offers a cool, welcoming atmosphere. The food is excellent. We especially appreciate that it is not just Japanese; rather, they also offers some fusion dish. Their raw fish is prime quality. My only regret is that the wine list is not rich enough.
