The preliminary menu features some classics: margherita pizza, linguine with clam sauce and a Caesar salad, alongside new twists on Italian cooking such as green eggs and ham (made with deviled eggs, crispy pancetta …

Bezu's owner and executive chef has made a name for himself and is using his skills to bring people to his restaurant in Potomac.
