Following is a list of participating restaurants, along with information about them gleaned from the Division of Tourism’s website and Restaurant Week’s Facebook page and the most recent edition of Suffolk Living magazine, which features restaurants within walking distance of the city’s courthouse:

Al Forno Pizzeria

Al Forno specializes in simple Italian food, made with the best and freshest ingredients. Dough is made fresh every day and allowed to rest and develop great flavor. Chefs hand-toss the dough and top their pizzas with the restaurant’s signature tomato sauce. Also available are classic Italian dinners, including lasagna, spaghetti, manicotti, cannelloni, veal and chicken parmigiana, and more — most of them made in-house using simple ingredients.

Amici’s Pizza Café

One of the great surprises for visitors to downtown Suffolk is the fact that they can get real, New York-style pizza cooked over the open fire of a brick oven. Amici’s Restaurant has some of the city’s most unusual pizzas — and a lot more, to boot. And it’s all served in a casual Italian atmosphere, complemented by the exposed architecture of this downtown landmark.

The Baron’s Pub

The Baron’s Pub is one of Main Street’s hot spots. Located at the corner of North Main and Market Streets, the pub serves lunch and dinner daily. The sleek and trendy interior of Baron’s Pub is a delicious contrast to the downtown historic structure. From the popular Baron burger and pizza to scallops and oyster salad, this pub has plenty of choices.

Broken Egg Bistro

Broken Egg Bistro is an independently owned, neighborhood bistro that provides fresh, innovative food in a hip, family environment. Visitors delight in a variety of menu items from breakfast favorites, salads and sandwiches to burgers. The Hampton Roads chain’s Suffolk store is located in Harbour View.

They have everything from delicious burritos to delectable fajitas, with choco tacos and fried ice cream to send you on your (fully satisfied) way.

Island Krave Caribbean Bistro

Foodies in Suffolk can get a taste of the Caribbean at establishments like Island Krave, which used to be known as Jammin’ Jerk BBQ and is located off Godwin Boulevard on Burnetts Way. Daring patrons are treated to a menu that includes everything from cocobread to jerk chicken to curry goat, all prepared under the lighthearted leadership of owner Dorothy Lovell, a native of Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Featuring local, seasonal ingredients whenever possible, their menus and specials are ever-changing. The restaurant has been a gathering place for residents of the area for more than five years.

The Plaid Hatter Tea Room & Bistro

In what could be downtown Suffolk’s most unusual concept for a restaurant, The Plaid Hatter spends part of the week as a cozy tearoom and the other part as a tapas and wine bar. Lunch menus offer a selection of lighter, vegetarian fare with a selection of 30 loose teas. On the weekend, the Hatter becomes a hip spot for meeting friends over small-sized servings of delectable treats.

The Plaid Turnip

The Plaid Turnip is the older sister of The Plaid Hatter, owned by the same chef, Ed Beardsley, and located just around the corner. But this restaurant fills an entirely different need in downtown Suffolk, offering extensive breakfast, lunch and dinner menus and a variety of baked goods, as well. Some of Suffolk’s biggest sandwiches pass through this kitchen’s window.
