Beloved Family-Owned Restaurant to Permanently Close This Week

Alatri Bros. has announced it will permanently close after nearly a decade in downtown Bethesda, with its final day of service set for Friday, July 24.

The Pietrobono family shared the news in a heartfelt message to customers, thanking the community, staff, and loyal patrons for their support over the past 10 years.

The announcement comes just weeks after the restaurant temporarily closed following the death of its longtime head chef, Wilber, who had worked at the location since it operated as Mia’s Pizza. The family also thanked everyone who attended a fundraiser held in his honor, saying the support meant the world to his family and the restaurant team.

Alatri Bros. opened in 2017 at 4926 Cordell Ave., taking over the former Mia’s Pizza space. The restaurant is owned by the Pietrobono family, who also own Olazzo and Gringos & Mariachis. While regular restaurant service is ending, the family said the Alatri space will continue to be used for private events and special occasions.
