| Has anyone heard info about whether it’s still on track to open? Red Hen has the best pasta in DC, so I’ve been looking forward to that team opening something closer to me… |

| Looks like it opened Wednesday. Anyone try it? I haven't been able to get a reservation for this weekend. |

| Yes- it's open! We went a few days ago (friends and family opening) and it was great! Really fun space- the bar is awesome. Food was delish! If you like the pasta at Red Hen, you will love this as well. The desserts were super unique and different and very good. Enjoy! |

Agree! We ate at the bar and loved the cocktails and wine, the artichoke app, the pastas, the friendly and knowledgeable bar tenders, and the overall vibe. |

| Nice spot. Good food. Service was off but that’s to be expected. Good experience. We will be back. They certainly know what they’re doing. Lots of management types overseeing things |

Another fan - food was delicious and the soace was cool and buzzy. I was expecting the service to be off since it just opened this week, but were impressed by how well organized everything ran. |

| Looks pricey. Almost $30 for a pasta dish. |

We went earlier this week. It was very good. Buzzy space, all the tables were full on a Monday (but could just be the first week excitement). Server was great, but there were some long lags - maybe he had too many tables? Food was delicious and I thought pretty reasonable by today’s standards. The new AP Pizza is next door but a different space. Pizza isn’t even on the menu at Aventino. Will definitely go back soon. |

| Food was excellent, especially the artichokes, crudo, and panna cotta. Pastas were very good. Service was friendly. Nice to have a good place in Bethesda! |
