Via Umbria was the scene for the latest Georgetown Business Association networking reception July 20.
The increasingly popular Italian store at 1525 Wisconsin Ave. NW is relatively new to town, having opened last year. It sells food as well as kitchen items and pottery on the first floor, where the deli side also has seating. Upstairs, an impressive kitchen and dining space allows for special events and tasting dinners with chefs who fly in from Italy.
That is just what Via Umbria's owners did the night of the GBA get-together; arriving on a flight from Rome, they were delighted by the turnout of GBA members, who were equally delighted to check out their new place. "It's a happy, happy place," said GBA president Sonya Bernhardt. "It's such a wonderful addition to Georgetown.'
