Thanks to Angelo for sending:

“I’m the partner / operator at the newly opened Capa Tosta located at 2737 Sherman Ave NW. My family and I immigrated to the DC area from Napoli, Italy 30 years ago. We’ve been working at restaurants in the area ever since. We’re so excited to finally strike out on our own. My parents, both lifetime chefs and bakers, have come out of retirement to bring family recipes to this neighborhood restaurant. We’ve coupled authentic dishes with innovative cocktails.”
