*Amami Bar and Restaurant (*sweetness from heaven)

I have yet to get over my infatuation with this part of Brooklyn. So many wonderful restaurants to try. The first of the two is a Japanese izakaya style restaurant, an informal Japanese bar which focuses on socializing over food and drinks, however the food is of the highest quality. The restaurant, offering Japanese favorites, sources sustainable fish, free range meats and produce from organic farms. Everything we ate exceeded our expectations.

Forma Pasta Factory

The second, a modest restaurant, is all about pasta. Lunch was $16.00 and included a choice of a delicious soup or salad. All their pastas are made on the premises and besides their regular menu, each day has a different special. If you’re craving lasagna, come in on Sunday and on Tuesday for fresh ravioli. Their focaccia, served with each meal to sop up the sauce, is excellent even by itself.
