Dive Bar Owner Works to Revive Nostalgic Italian Restaurant - Eater DC

"Cafe Italia, known for its red checked tablecloths and classic Italian dishes, closed in April due to an inability to keep up with rising rents. Freddie Lutz, who worked there for 25 years, is leading the revival effort with former employees Adolfo and Birtillo Urrutia. The restaurant is being renovated but will maintain its original essence. The sale was completed on May 21." - Warren Rojas
