My husband and I had been craving ramen for the longest time since moving from Australia, and finally, we found the perfect spot!
We stumbled upon Shifu Ramen in Trastevere (they just opened a week ago!) and were immediately drawn to how cozy and welcoming the place felt. The service was incredible—super friendly and warm, making us feel right at home.
