Now, the restaurateurs behind Ala, the two year-old Levantine restaurant in Dupont Circle, are reviving the space. Owner Deniz Gulluoglu and her husband Celal, an architect, hope to open their second location in October.
Eight-hour-braised short ribs are seasoned with North African ras el hanout. Turmeric-golden roasted whole cauliflower is topped with amba, a tart Israeli mango pickle. And at the Bethesda location, the Gulluoglus plan to pay homage to the late Positano owner Luigi Traettino with a dish they’ll call Luigi’s lasagna.
