Details
Makai Restaurant & Tiki Bar offers a captivating escape in Rome's Ostiense district, presenting a unique two-tiered experience. Upstairs, the bright and cheerful Surf Bar evokes a Californian beach hut with its vibrant decor and vintage rock 'n' roll soundtrack. Descend into the atmospheric downstairs Tiki Bar, and you are transported to a more exotic, dimly lit jungle grotto, complete with carved wood, fishing nets, and the sounds of exotica music. This establishment truly stands out as an oasis, flawlessly blending Roman charm with a detailed Hawaiian-inspired adventure.
The cuisine embraces a Hawaiian-inspired style, artfully merging Japanese, Mexican, and US West Coast influences to reinterpret classic dishes with an exotic twist. The menu features a diverse selection including sushi, tacos, tartares, burritos, and poke salads, all presented with a tropical flourish. Patrons can enjoy inventive creations like the "Tentacle Temptation" sushi roll, or a flavourful beef tartare with mango. The bar is particularly renowned for its exceptional house cocktails, such as the signature "Ma-Kai", and skillfully crafted classic Tiki drinks like Mai Tais and Zombies, often made with fresh juices.
This distinctive venue perfectly suits an international audience seeking new tasting and sensory adventures, as well as both seasoned Tiki enthusiasts and newcomers. The romantic and trendy atmosphere makes it an ideal choice for a special rendezvous or a relaxed evening out. Whether guests prefer a casual meal upstairs or a more intimate cocktail experience in the downstairs bar, Makai provides a refreshing break from Rome's traditional sights, encouraging patrons to unwind and relax.

Makai is wonderful. Built with love and decorated with personal treasures. The cocktails are traditional and made with care. Lime juice is fresh squeezed (another quality teltale) and garnished simply but beautifully.
The staff is obviously passionate about the lifestyle and we wish them continued success.. 10/10
