Headliner

Nami Nori

The chefs Taka Sakaeda and Jihan Lee, who both worked at the sushi master Masa Takayama’s restaurants, are behind separate counters in this new restaurant’s elegant pale-wood dining room. ( The operations director, Lisa Limb, also worked at Mr. Takayama’s restaurants .) But unlike at Masa, the specialties here are temaki hand rolls. And the temaki are not cylindrical or cone-shaped. They’re open, with a crisp sheet of nori seaweed wrapping the filling like a taco. “They’re not traditional, but we’re also doing simpler classics for the purists,” Mr. Sakaeda said. Among the signature combinations are sea scallops in XO sauce with tobiko and lemon, salmon and tomato with onion cream, and tuna poke-style with crisp shallots. The classics include spicy tuna, and yellowtail with scallions. There are also some vegan selections. Starters include nori chips with a yogurt dip, and a cucumber tataki with wasabi. Temaki desserts incorporate ice cream and fruit. There’s a sleek bar, a few tables up front, and a semi-secluded table for six in the rear. The whole space seats 40. (Opens Wednesday)

Opening

Lola Taverna

Cobi Levy, the restaurateur who owns Little Prince, is opening this airy Greek spot with Will Makris and Thanasis Panourgias. The chef, Dionysis Liakopoulos, has worked at Noma in Copenhagen, Aska in New York and Kuzina in Athens. He will take his inspiration from the Greek islands: There’s a Greek salad and a lobster pasta with ouzo essence. A risotto will incorporate Greek rice, smoked graviera cheese and flash-fried squid. The décor is off-white and beige, with a thatched ceiling and handmade pottery. Olive trees in pots decorate the sidewalk seating area. (Monday)

F&F Pizzeria

Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo, a.k.a. the Franks, have finally opened their much-anticipated Carroll Gardens pizzeria, tucked into the space between Frankies 457 Spuntino and Franks Wine Bar. The Franks are working with Chad Robertson of Tartine Bakery in California, and Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix: “Their contribution is purely creative,” Mr. Castronovo said in an email. “They’re meticulously guiding us every step of the way as friends, with no financial setup. They just want us to represent their style for the first time on the East Coast.” The pizzeria is a no-frills slice joint with paper plates.
