About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
Tonari is our Wafu Italian restaurant. WAFU means Japanese-style, so our menu is a Japanese take on Italian food. It originated in Japan through the love that the Japanese had for Italian food but wanted to incorporate some of their cultural flavors and ingredients to them. We at Daikaya Group and chef & owner, Katsuya Fukushima, are bringing this experience to you here in DC.

Looking for some fun Japanese antipasti bites, one of a kind pasta dishes, or pizza that you won't find anywhere else in the city? Then come join us for dinner, we look forward to having you soon.

    So glad we found this place! We had the mentaiko and original pizzas and both were flavorful and delicious. We also tried the garlic bread which was fantastic. Drinks were strong and interesting. We decided we need to come back to try the pasta next! Thanks for a wonderful meal!

    The Detroit style pizza was unbelievably crispy and delicious. We had the Gorgonzola special, which sounded weird but was highly recommend but did not disappoint.

    It was worth going and an experience we enjoyed. The flavors were fun and new. Looking for something niche? Give it a shot! Drinks are cute and yummy as well.

    We needed to get in and out quickly to see a game at Capital One Arena one server that was in charge of 11 tables was able to do just that. The uni pasta was a bit bland but had notes of good flavor and the unagi pizza was really funky but we loved it. We would go back to try different pizzas.

    Food was pretty good. The meatball bao were a little lukewarm but tasty and the pizza I got was very yummy. I was seated upstairs and I think it was one server for the entire floor so he was less attentive than I would’ve liked. Not sure I’d be back as I was underwhelmed, but try for yourself.
