Arcuri Aims for April Opening in Glover Park

Arcuri, a casual Italian-American restaurant, will fill the space that was Kavanagh's Pizza Pub at 2400 Wisconsin Ave. NW and hopes to open in April.

Kavanagh's closed Jan. 31 and Arcuri started its lease Feb. 1.

The new restaurant will feature a menu of wood fired brick oven pizzas, antipasti, pasta and seasonal dishes, according to a press release.

The concept comes from We are 4 partners, LLC., made up of, you guessed it, four local guys partnering to start their own business.

The restaurant's namesake is Rosario Antonio Arcuri, the Italian-born greatgrandfather of  Vice Managing Partner Brynce Gerlach, according to the press release.

Here's more on the partners behind the new restaurant:

"Adam Hiltebeitel was born at Sibley Hospital and lived in Glover Park as a toddler.  He has worked at local restaurants like The Zebra Room and Faccia Luna.  Bryce Gerlach, 'Mr. Arcuri,' grew up in Arlington working in restaurants like The Boulevard Woodgrill and Overwood.   Chef Richard Jones was raised in Arlington and is a Culinary Institute of America graduate. Following culinary school he has worked at 2941, Peche and most recently in NYC at Locanda Verde. Joe Chapman, originally from Michigan has been a managing force in the DC area for years.
