Owners of the successful Comodo in Soho are opening another Latin American outpost on Dekalb in Fort Greene, to be called Colonia Verde. Felipe Donnelly and William Osborne are taking over the former Kif space at 219 Dekalb near Adelphi Street.

Their vision is a communal, family-style restaurant with cuisine from various parts of Latin America, namely Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Brazil, as DNAinfo was the first to report. The owners applied for a full liquor license last week with Community Board Two, asking to be open until 2 am. Construction has already started on their space, and they said they would like to open as soon as their liquor license comes through.

Colonia Verde has a backyard, which will be closed in by fiberglass and heated and air conditioned year round. GMAP
