The Biggest D.C.-Area Restaurant Openings in August 2025 | Eater DC

"Channeling West Virginia’s Italian immigrant cuisine and boisterous dive bars, this lively newcomer fills the former Whitlow’s and B Live space with playful Americanized Italian fare—think iconic pepperoni rolls, spicy rigatoni, and a mortadella-and-burrata sandwich loaded with pistachios and hot honey—alongside bar staples like burgers, beer-brined wings, and pulled pork nachos. Wallet-friendly drinks include house cocktails under $14 and seasonal moonshine flights for $15, and it keeps Whitlow’s tradition alive with $3 mug nights: $3 draft beers on Thursdays (3–6 p.m.) and $5 buckets of five beers on Mondays (6–9 p.m.)." - Tierney Plumb
