Itadaki

Opening tonight in Pazzo's old digs on Newbury St, this ambitious inaugural venture from an engaged biomedical engineer/internet entrepreneur duo (it's a story as old as time!) seats a trendy, downstairs cafe/bar below an (opening-in-August) white tablecloth dining room. The menu stocks all the standard sushi rolls & teriyaki dishes, plus a signature deep-fried, unbelievably healthy salmon pizza w/ unagi sauce & scallion (crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside), and hard-to-find Japanese whiskeys like Hibiki and Yamazaki.
