"Navy Yard’s elegant new Italian eatery comes courtesy of husband-and-wife industry vets Micah Wilder and Johanna Hellrigl. Drawing influence from chef Hellrigl’s northern Italian heritage, Ama transitions from an indoor-outdoor caffè and Genovese-style focacceria by day into an afternoon aperitivo bar and convivial restaurant by night. Go for the uniquely made lasagna slathered in mushroom bechamel, raviolini al tocco filled with braised pasture-raised beef, or spot-on spaghetti al pomodoro, along with gloriously good gelato for dessert." - Tierney Plumb, Mekita Rivas
