It's somewhat fitting that on the day the new Matchbox outpost opens in Eastern Market, we find out that Acqua al Due will soon by joining the 8th St SE neighborhood. The original AAD is in Florence, and there is another U.S. outpost in San Diego. So far the reaction from those who have actually been to the Florence location has been ecstatic, so we'll hope the restuarant maintains that quality and style when it moves to DC in the coming months.
Acqua al Due isn't the first European restaurant group to take notice of DC recently. My beloved Vapianos originally hails from across the pond as well. Perhaps our European friends are realizing what many Americans haven't - that DC is a serious restaurant city, but with cheaper rents and less competition than the Manhattan market to test their toes in the eastern US waters.
