The new menu keeps most of the Italian favorites they had before, but also adds some Argentinian dishes, according to an employee. La Panetteria will be open for dinner hours only tonight, and for regular lunch and dinner hours starting tomorrow, May 4.
Also they had some problems with County food inspections in recent weeks.

An Italian restaurant with Argentine dishes? Is nothing sacred any longer?
ReplyDeleteIt's only a ploy to get rid of the "Italian Restaurant" slowly. Anyone been the Wheaton lately? That's how they got rid of Marchones, a bit at a time.
The new owner is Argentinian but had Italian restaurants before.Great chef.
DeleteOpenings, closings and openings again
ReplyDeleteThat's life!
Delete7:51: That would have to have been under the previous owner. Tonight is the first night of operation under the new owner.
ReplyDelete@8:07 - While I'd certainly miss La Panetteria (I had my rehearsal dinner there!) an Argentine place wouldn't be so bad. Divino Lounge was amazing, and is sorely missed. A new Argentinian restaurant could do very well. (Especially in a busier part of Bethesda - Divino was hurt by its location on Wisconsin, not a lot of foot traffic to drive business.)
ReplyDeleteAgree with you.
DeleteSon of Parva?
ReplyDeleteShould have stayed closed.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, go to the place and try it, stop whining!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck!
ReplyDeleteMr. Dyer - how come you can't get the comments on this blog to show in the same order between the "web" format and the "mobile" format? Specifically, the mobile format shows subthreads whereas the web format shows all comments in a single thread. I couldn't tell who GDT was talking to when I viewed this in web format.
ReplyDeleteNone of the other blogs on Suburban News Network have this issue.
Also the time zones are set to the correct time zone, and you can go to "next article" and "previous article" directly from the comment pages, in the other blogs.
4:17PM So I guess he thinks the Falklands are the Malvinas. I'll find another Italian Restaurant. One that serves Italian dishes exclusively.
ReplyDelete4:28: It's because this blog was started in 2006 with the old Blogger platform, which had been improved and updated by the time I launched the other 3 websites this decade. Why Google engineers are too dumb to make it work, and why they in so many ways punish those who were the earliest adopters of their platform, I do not know.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to believe that Google won't let you change the clock settings on your legacy blog.
ReplyDeleteOr that they won't let you migrate your legacy blog to a newer format.
5:47: The clock settings are by choice. No, Google will not allow this blog to migrate to a newer format.
ReplyDelete7:11: Interesting. Why did you choose to set the time on this hyper-local blog to Pacific time?
ReplyDelete...and not the other three active blogs on Suburban News Network?
ReplyDelete"No, Google will not allow this blog to migrate to a newer format for free."
7:35AM - Aha. I see. Although with it being a legitimate business expense, it would be worth it.
ReplyDeletereally? you delete this and leave the 7;35 comment? what, pray tell, rule does this break?
