Bryan Voltaggio Closes Aggio Inside Range

Bryan Voltaggio confirms Aggio, the Italian restaurant inside Range in Chevy Chase, has closed. According to the Washington Post, he wants to free the space for pop-ups or private events now that the Italian concept has a permanent home in Baltimore.

Voltaggio says he never expected it to stay inside Range permanently. Aggio opened in February 2014 before expanding to a second location in Baltimore a few months later.

There are several more changes afoot at Range. Chef de cuisine Mattie McGhee recently left the restaurant, and Jeremy Waybridge of Boss Shepherds was hired as a replacement. Range also applied for a brewery addendum to its liquor license, so the restaurant might start serving their own brewed beer by next year.

Voltaggio and his brother Michael are also currently readying to open a steakhouse inside the MGM Casino at National Harbor.
