Description
Strong Returns. Proven Concept. Prime Bethesda Location.
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
THE NUMBERS (Adjusted SDE)
2022: ($16,094) | Revenue: $540,295
2023: $35,149 | Revenue: $683,233
2024: $108,566 | Revenue: $805,628
2025: $181,184 | Revenue: $883,111
FACILITIES & LEASE
Downtown Bethesda, MD. Standalone building, 2,700 sq-ft. Triple net lease at $10,800/month. Lease runs through 2028. No special zoning requirements. Full liquor and food service licenses required (currently held).
TRANSACTION STRUCTURE
Asking Price: $399,000 (all cash; no seller financing currently offered)
Included: All furniture, fixtures, equipment, and leasehold improvements
Not Included: No intangible or intellectual property assets
