“Dear PoPville,

I’m not sure if you’ve heard any scuttlebutt, but apparently Sushiko in Glover Park is closed. I called to order takeout last week, and the man who answered (presumably the manager) said they were closed due to some kind of emergency. I assumed there may have been a problem with a customer, but when I asked if everyone was OK, he indicated it was no big deal. Well, tonight I tried again, and no one picked up at all. So I called the Chevy Chase location, and the hostess said the Glover Park location had been closed for about a week and likely would be closed permanently. She said she didn’t know why.

If this is true and Sushiko is closed in Glover Park, that’s a huge loss for the neighborhood and for anyone looking for relatively affordable, high-quality sushi in a city with few options. (We regularly drive all the way over from Logan Circle for pick up.)

Has anyone in PoPville heard anything?”

I also spoke with the Chevy Chase location and was told they couldn’t comment but more info would likely be known next week.

Back in January we first learned Arcuri would be taking over the Kavanagh’s Pizza Pub space in Glover Park. After extensive renovations Arcuri will be soft opening next week with a grand opening June 22nd. (Lunch service should start around the 19th of June.)

“The Arcuri name is the namesake of owner, Bryce Gerlach’s great grandfather. Rosario Antonio Arcuri was born in Nicastro Italy on January 19, 1895.”

They’ll have 14 beers on tap including Bell’s Oberon, Racer 5, Founder’s All Day, DC Brau Public, Jack’s Cider, Troegenator, Ommegang Hennepin, Victory Love, Allagash Curieux, and more in bottles and cans. They’ll have a nice selection of wines and prosecco. Ah, I almost forgot – they’ll also have house made Limoncello (I took a taste yesterday and it’s awesome.) Maybe even better (I didn’t get a chance to try it but it sounds sweet) they’ll also have frozen house Limoncello and frozen berry limoncella.

As for the menu you can expect to find Salumi, Crostino, risoto, meatballs, prosciutto wrapped cod, wood fired pork chop, pollo al daviolo, and many pizza options. I stopped by yesterday afternoon for some photos have a look:

Many more photos after the jump. (more…)
