Gate-side maki and caipirinhas in FCO Terminal 3
Near the long-haul gates in Terminal 3, Temakinho serves Japanese-Brazilian rolls and bowls to break up another EU connection. It sits post-security in T3’s international area, so you’re fine staying here until boarding for most Schengen and non‑Schengen flights. Expect mid-range prices: about €12–€16 for sushi rolls and around €9–€14 for starters.
Temakinho runs through the main flight banks in T3, typically opening around morning departures and staying active into the late-evening long-haul push. The vibe is more bar-restaurant than quick kiosk, with counter seats facing the walkway plus standard tables if you’ve got 45+ minutes before your gate screens “final call.” Service pace skews sit‑down rather than grab‑and‑go, so plan more than a 20‑minute dash.
Menu highlights lean into the Japanese-Brazilian mix: look for salmon or tuna maki with maracujá (passion fruit), crunchy tempura textures, and ceviche-style starters with lime and coriander. Expect a printed menu with English and prices in euros. Portion sizes on rolls land around 8 pieces; two rolls or one roll plus a starter works for a proper meal before a 3–4 hour sector.
Drinks are a draw here, with caipirinhas and sake-based cocktails running roughly €9–€12. If you’re boarding a late-night long‑haul from Terminal 3, one drink plus a roll is a realistic 35‑minute sit-down stop. Non-alcoholic options include soft drinks, juices, and still or sparkling water by the bottle, usually in the €3–€5 range.
With no major complaint trends popping up in reviews, the real risk is time, not quality. The practical move: check your gate on the FCO screens by Temakinho, then order only if you’ve got at least 40 minutes in hand and the gate isn’t flagged as “boarding” yet.
