Yesterday came big news tweeted from @bestbitesblog:
“Italian restaurant Rialto taking over the Guards space in Georgetown is shooting for mid-September opening.”
At Washingtonian, the Best Bites Blog reports:
“A rep describes the food as a “blend of old-world Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist.” The small plates—piattini—on offer will be prepared in open kitchens and paired with selections from an “extensive” wine list.”
The Guards closed after 46 years on M Street last August.

From the Georgetown BID:
“Break out those wallets, Georgetown! @TheFryeCompany flagship store opens at 1066 Wisconsin Ave. TODAY!”
Back in Dec. of last year we first heard some scuttlebutt that a Frye Boots was coming to the former Papa Razzi space in Georgetown.
Apparently the Georgetown BID was a bit overeager – UPDATE from Frye’s PR team: “Their opening is currently slated for early September”

From a press release:
“Luke’s Lobster, a Maine lobster roll company that’s become a fast favorite in DC (as well as New York
and Philly), is about to bring even more Maine to its Georgetown shack. Starting August 23rd (the shack’s first birthday), Luke’s will offer a “Maine Market” shopping experience alongside its legendary seafood, chowders, and Maine Root drinks. Home cooks rejoice: the live and cooked seafood you have been asking for is finally for sale. Luke’s will be offering a pre-order program for live lobster pickups every Tuesday and Friday, and will have a limited number of lobsters available for same-day sale as well. They’ll be retailing the exact same cooked lobster meat by the pound that they put in their own rolls, 7 days a week. They’ll also stock frozen lobster tails that cooks can quickly thaw and throw on the grill, under the broiler, or into their favorite recipe.
Luke’s will only sell sustainable Maine lobster prepared by its own dedicated seafood company in Saco, Maine. To help you channel your inner chef, Luke’s will give away postcards with recipes from some of the best chefs in Maine, and it won’t hurt to take home a jar of Luke’s signature secret seasoning mix, either.”

Back in Dec. 2012 we learned Eno Wine Bar was opening up next to the Four Season’s Hotel at 2810 Pennsylvania Ave, NW. A press release updates us with a planned September opening:
