West End Tapas Bar Americano Soft Opens This Friday

It appears that Americano, a "freestyle" tapas bar, is going to hit their tight turn-around, as a representative for the restaurant confirms with Eater that they are planning to "soft open" this Friday. A new project from the owners of Alegria Mexican Restaurant and Tequila Bar, the announcement was made less than three weeks ago that Americano would be taking over the now former West End Cafe space at 1720 West End Avenue.

Focusing on Latin flavors with a "Nashville flair," the restaurant will offer a mix of tapas, tacos and larger shared plates. And while Americano's website is still under construction, you can take a look at the menu here.
