Itadaki is a Japanese izakaya (the Japanese version of a gastropub), and this terrific eatery and drinkery on Boston's famous Newbury Street specializes in small plates designed for sharing. Similar to tapas, this is a great place to go for leisurely meals filled with tantalizing dishes. Garlic tuna, sunomono with your choice of squid, octopus or shrimp, pan-fried gyoza, sushi pizza and more offer plenty of choices for those dining small plates-style. Of course, they've also got a terrific selection of sushi, nigiri and sashimi. Their selection of rolls is second to none, and, if you're sitting at the bar you can opt for their terrific ramen combos. With a variety of different ramen, gyoza and a draft beer, this is a full meal for an affordable price. Speaking of bars, their full service bar offers diners a great selection of Japanese beers and whiskeys, along with an extensive drink list. Plus, with the area's largest Shochu selection and a large sake list, you can sip on your favorite every time. Also be sure to check out their weekend brunch (11 a.m. - 3 p.m.) where omelets, French toast and mimosas are all the rage. And, if you're looking for the perfect place for a power lunch, look no further. With both bento box and sushi box lunch specials, Japanese-style sandwiches, and more, you can enjoy a meal as hearty or light as you desire. The decor is trendy, the vibe is great and the service is friendly; with plenty to eat and drink, Itadaki is the place to go!
