"I consider it a popular pick for Italian food in Georgetown, and it will expand to Cathedral Heights next year with plans to build a restaurant and a speakeasy inside a well-established space near the neighborhood’s main strip. The outpost could open by February in the old Cafe Deluxe building at 3228 Wisconsin Avenue NW. The Italian menu includes a long list of stone-baked pizzas, branzino, chicken Parmesan mains, and pastas like a lobster diavolo and wild mushroom ravioli, and a weekday happy hour features $9-and-under pizzas, starters, and Aperol spritzes. Flavio 2.0 will be filled with more contemporary decor with a few new dishes, the owners plan to bring in a consulting chef from Rome, and they’ll tuck a speakeasy behind the bar to attract a cosmopolitan cocktail crowd." - Tierney Plumb
