The Group Behind All-Purpose and Red Hen Is Building a Roman Restaurant in Bethesda - Eater DC
"Next-door to Aventino, a 20-seat pizza shop with a dedicated to-go window will open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the morning, customers can expect espresso drinks and pastries like blueberry and polenta muffins, chocolate hazelnut babka, prosciutto and gruyere croissants, and maritozzo, a shout-out to Rome in the form of yeasty sweet rolls split open and loaded with copious amounts of whipped cream. Friedman says All-Purpose’s core menu of favorites will be represented across a dozen antipasti, Caesar and Italian vinaigrette salads, and eight pizzas, including standbys and some new options. Sandwiches can be expected to pack in homemade mortadella, other Italian cold cuts, meatballs, and chicken or eggplant Parm. Beer, wine, and cocktails will all be on draft." - Gabe Hiatt
