"Japan’s Italian craze lands in D.C. thanks to Daikaya Restaurant Group’s Tonari, which has been lauded as one of the first destinations on the East Coast to serve “Wafu Italian.” La dolce vita at Tonari translates to thick, almost fluffy slices of pizza made with flour from Japan and topped with brick cheese and the likes of barbecued eel and dill labne, or layers of corn sauce, chives, and Kewpie mayo and mentaiko (cod roe) cream. A daytime cafe menu offers coffee and breakfast and Japanese favorites with Italian flair like pesto ramen and garlic bread-flavored onigiri (rice balls). If you want a restaurant that will introduce you to dishes you’ve never tried before, this is the place." - Adele Chapin
