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.
ReplyDeleteOctober of 2026 perhaps? Timed to open with the Purple Line!
ReplyDeleteWhat is "deck oven" pizza? Finally, a pizza place. We're really lacking on that front. Ha!
ReplyDeleteUntil Andy's, we didn't have a decent pizza by the slice option.
ReplyDeleteVaces does
ReplyDeleteVaces was just rated one of the top pizza places in DC bty the Washington Post's weekend magazine.
DeleteAt least it's not another Ice Cream/Yogurt place!
