Big Taste Comes in Little Packages at Natsumi Tapas

Here, she stepped up the game on the mix of Japanese and Italian flavors, but cut the size. In Natsumi Tapas, Matsumura, along with the talents of Italian chef Andrea Tiberi and sushi chef Hiroyuki Nagao (Nobu, Blue Ribbon Sushi, Haru,) presents an extensive Japanese, Italian, and somewhere-between-the-two menu of smaller plates to share. Manager Porche Prasertchoang, said, with Natsumi Tapas, they wanted to offer food with the same theme as the restaurant’s predecessor, but with smaller portions and at a lower price point for the customer.

Obica Mozzarella Bar Electrifies Taste Buds in Flatiron
If someone were to ask me (and why shouldn’t they, I’m always hungry) what my favorite type of cuisine is, chances are my answer would be Italian. The diverse and fresh ingredients made in the assortment of dishes within its culinary repertoire are always at the top of my taste buds, palate and so much more when it comes to coming in hungry and leaving pleasantly full. Granted, we live in the best city in the world for this type of cuisine and many others, so I jump at any opportunity when it comes to reviewing the latest and greatest in all things Italian cuisine. I got to experience that, and so much more, this past Friday night at the delightful and wonderfully tasty Obica Mozzarella Bar, located in the heart of the Flatiron district on Broadway between 22nd and 21st street.
