“Dear PoPville,
Hoping the community might know the official status of Acqua al 2 in Eastern Market? They had been selling grocery items earlier in the pandemic and then updated their website and posted on social media that they would be temporarily closing in late June to prepare for indoor dining in July. However, their phone line is currently not in service and friends have mentioned it looks very closed and empty from the outside. Does anyone know what’s going on? I know their sister restaurants Ghibellina and Sotto closed.”
On June 25th Acqua Al 2 posted to their Facebook:
“Acqua al 2 family, friends and neighbors:
in preparation of reopening we are taking a temporary break from our grocery business and our last day of grocery service will be Saturday June 27th. Thank you to our incredible community whose generous support and kindness allowed us to further our Employee Relief Fund. Our fund was critical to our beloved staff in their darkest hour. As we temporarily go silent on the outside, we will begin to prepare to bring again the quality food, service and atmosphere of Acqua al 2 on the inside. Many thanks, much love, and we’ll see you in July!”
