From a press release:

“Tonari, the Japanese-Italian restaurant credited with introducing Washington, D.C. to cross-cultural wafu pastas and pizza, is reopening Saturday, December 18, 2021.

When it debuted in February 2020, it secured immediate critical praise and garnered attention for both a dedication to the details and its sense of joy on the plate.

After pausing operations a mere six weeks after opening, Tonari is reopening with mostly new dishes and a five-course, pre-fixe menu, a natural progression of the restaurant to showcase the intertwining of Japanese and Italian cuisines. It will open a la carte service in the future. (more…)
