BACIO

Opened in 2011, Bacio is located at 81 Seaton Place NW
on one of Bloomingdale’s picturesque historic blocks.
When asked what he likes most about Bloomingdale,
Bacio Pizzeria owner Atilla Suzer does not hesitate.
“Bloomingdale is the
warmest, friendly
neighborhood in DC!”
It’s not unusual to see neighbors walking home
carrying a fresh hot pizza box. Bacio has an indoor
dining room, as well as patio seating. Of course the
menu includes pizza, such as the “LeDroit Park” with
anchovy, capers, basil, cherry tomato, mozzarella,
and tomato sauce. Bacio also features locally made
desserts from Grassroots Gourmet and Uncle Chips, as
well as Moorenko’s ice cream.

Rustik Tavern is about to celebrate
their fourth birthday and owner
Diton Pashaj has tremendous
gratitude for those who have been
with him on the journey. His family
has been extremely supportive
and several of the staff have been
there from the beginning. He even
convinced Chef Seth Brady, a vital
part of Rustik’s success, to move
back to DC from San Francisco.
Pashaj tells us why he chose to open
Rustik Tavern in the Bloomingdale
neighborhood, “Many years ago, I
lived just south of Bloomingdale,
and I found the neighborhood
30 ISSUE NO. 5
very charming. I had helped open
other restaurants in DC, each one a
few blocks east of the last. I had a
sense that Bloomingdale would be
a very nice place to work and start
a business.”
“Plus, you can’t
beat the character
of our streets.”
Rustik Tavern, located at 84 T St
NW, is a friendly place with tasty
eats and good drinks. The versatile
space with a patio is great for
bringing family, meeting a date, or
catching up with an old friend.
