Matt notes:
“Looks like Bozzelli’s is open at Vermont and L NW”
The folks from Bozzelli’s confirm:
“Yep, opened Monday. It’s just a soft opening. We hope to have a grand opening in early April. So far locals appear to love the authentic italian subs and pizza pies. Especially the Beef Meatball with Romano and Provonello.”
