Komorebi Japanese Restaurant - Ristorante Giapponese — Restaurant in Rome

We saw Komorebi by chance, walking by one evening. The reviews seemed great, so we popped in -- and were not disappointed. Far from it! The atmosphere was nice and cozy on a November evening, the team was super engaged and helpful, very focused and into their food offering and its quality and presentation -- and the food was, wow!
