Hank's Pasta Bar Coming to Alexandria

Jamie Leeds is branching out beyond oysters and lobster rolls. The popular chef behind Hank's Oyster Bar is opening a restaurant called Hank's Pasta Bar, according to a report from Patch.

The publication spied papers filed with the city's planning office. The restaurant is bound for Montgomery and N. Saint Asaph streets in Old Town. The restaurant replaces the now-shuttered Villa d'Este.

Eater has reached out to Leeds for any additional details on the venture.
