"The team behind D.C. mainstays the Red Hen, All-Purpose, and Boundary Stone brought Bethesda a pair of next-door Italian eateries in February. Chef Mike Friedman’s sit-down Aventino Cucina, a sprawling space with room for 135, specializes in Roman cuisine like antipasti, pasta, and homemade gelato, plus spritzes and Negronis stirred at its emerald and marble-clad bar. AP Pizza Shop, an ode to the New York and New Jersey pizzerias of Friedman’s youth, offers lunchtime slices, salads, and sandwiches. Dinner showcases All-Purpose’s popular lineup of pizzas and Italian-American starters like roasted garlic knots." - Tierney Plumb
