Closed: Capriotti’s of Georgetown

Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop on the corner of 34th and M Streets NW has closed. The location had only been open for less than a year and a half, since December of 2015. It now sits vacant with its tables still arranged and the Capriotti’s logo on the wall.

Other Capriotti’s shops can still be found in D.C., at 18th and M Streets NW, and in Rosslyn. The chain originated in Delaware in 1976 and first came to the District in 2013. It is said to be a favorite of Vice President Joe Biden, formerly a senator from Delaware.

Capriotti’s has become well known for its signature sandwiches, including the Bobbie (said to be named for an aunt of the original owner), a Thanksgiving-inspired sub made with roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayonnaise.
