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!

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.

Looks pricey. Almost $30 for a pasta dish.

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.

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.

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

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…
