Aventino Cucina & AP Pizza Shop now aiming for October opening in Bethesda


It's been more than two years since I reported that Chef Mike Friedman planned to open Aventino Cucina and AP Pizza Shop at 4747 Bethesda Avenue. Work finally got underway inside the space a year ago, and I even had photographic proof of that. But there was no word since on the sit-down Roman casual restaurant and New Jersey deck-oven pizzeria. Now Eater DC reports that Friedman is hoping to open both next month.

    Finally. We'll see if they were worth the wait.

  3. What is "deck oven" pizza? Finally, a pizza place. We're really lacking on that front. Ha!

  4. Until Andy's, we didn't have a decent pizza by the slice option.
