Hot and cold sub sandwiches in three sizes, sandwiches made to order, a selection of salads and four vegetarian subs, plus a kid’s menu make up the offerings at Capriotti’s. The best seller, The Bobbie, voted “Greatest Sandwich in America” by AOL readers, is made with in-house roasted turkey, homemade stuffing, cranberry sauce and a touch of mayo. Another favorite, the Capistrami, combines hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and Cole slaw.

The store will be open seven days for lunch and dinner. On Sunday through Wednesday hours will be 11 am until 10 pm. Late night hours will be in effect on weekends with hours being 11 am until 3:30 am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

“Capriotti’s is dedicated to providing a one-of-a-kind sandwich experience to our customers by serving quality homemade subs,” said Ashley Morris, CEO of Capriotti’s. “We are thrilled to announce our first location in Washington D.C. and anticipate a warm welcome from the local community.”

“I was born and raised here” said franchisee Vincent, “and I believe that the Washington D.C. area is a prime location for Capriotti’s because of the robust professional community combined with the region’s burgeoning food scene. The palate of the National Capital region is expanding and is ready for Capriotti’s signature fresh-made sandwiches.”
