Ombra: Coming This Summer to the Northland

After finding their footing with Sushi MO! and Taqueria Gordita at North Kansas City’s Iron District, Sarah Nelson and her husband, Louis Guerrieri, have closed those concepts to open something new in the Northland: Ombra, a small-plates restaurant inspired by the couple’s love of stealing bites off of each other’s plates. “I love seasonality and constantly having new things,” Nelson says. “I wanted to open a place where we could have a bit of everything.” The restaurant is tentatively scheduled to open this summer and will feature dishes inspired by cuisines around the world but with a little midwestern flair—and local suppliers, including Barham Family Farm, Fortune Fish & Gourmet, and Green Dirt Farms.
