Doozo

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


Doozo (meaning ‘welcome’) is an elegant and serene restaurant, bookshop and art gallery owned by a chef hailing from Tokyo. It serves traditional Japanese staples including tofu, sushi, sashimi, miso soup and tempura fries. In summer you can eat in the glorious courtyard garden, which is a hidden oasis of peace, tranquillity and much-welcomed shade.
