Description
This established Italian-Argentine restaurant generated $181,184 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings on $883,111 in gross sales in 2025 — representing a 21% SDE margin and a 67% increase in earnings over the prior year. At an asking price of $524,000, this represents a 2.9x SDE multiple, well within the range of a strong restaurant acquisition.
Revenue has grown from $540,295 in 2022 to $883,111 in 2025 — a 63% increase over three years — with profitability improving dramatically as operations have matured under current ownership.
THE CONCEPT
This is the only Italian-Argentine restaurant in the Bethesda market, blending two of the world's most celebrated culinary traditions into a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Signature offerings include fresh house-made pastas, wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza, and Argentine
asado — all crafted from scratch. The restaurant has earned a loyal local following over 40+ years and stands as a true destination in the Washington Metropolitan Area dining scene.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a turnkey acquisition with a trained staff (12 full-time, 4 part-time), an established brand, and a prime 2,700 sq-ft standalone location in the heart of downtown Bethesda. The current owner, who serves as Executive Chef and General Manager, estimates that a qualified buyer with reasonable management experience can be fully operational within 60 days.
Several revenue channels remain completely untapped:
• Brunch service (not currently offered)
• Formal catering program
• Paid digital and social media advertising
• Extended operating hours / 7-day service
• Third-party delivery platform expansion

Turnkey Pizza & Sub Restaurant with Strong Growth Potential
$ 200,000
This is a turnkey, beautifully appointed independent pizza and sub restaurant offering a fully equipped, move-in-ready operation. The business has built a strong reputation for its Brooklyn-style pizza, loaded cheesesteaks, and generous portions, earning a loyal customer following and excellent online reviews. The restaurant features brand-new furniture throughout, along with a dedicated private meeting room that provides an excellent opportunity for private dining, birthday parties, team lunches, and community events. The fully built-out kitchen and front-of-house areas allow a new owner to step in and operate from day one. The business also offers significant growth potential. Current operations rely heavily on reputation and word-of-mouth, with minimal active sales and marketing efforts. Additional opportunities include introducing breakfast service, expanding catering, and developing higher-ticket menu offerings. For an energetic owner-operator, these untapped revenue streams provide multiple avenues for future growth. The Seller is relocating and is motivated to facilitate a smooth transition. https://tworld.com/locations/Maryland/commonwealth/listings/Turnkey-Pizza-Sub-Restaurant-with-Strong-Growth-Potential
