Chef Nick Stefanelli’s fine-dining Greek restaurant Philotimo initially opened in January of 2022 after lengthy pandemic delays only to be shut down a few months later by a kitchen fire. Now, after more than a year, the downtown DC restaurant is re-opening Friday, October 27, with limited reservations—it will make its full debut on Wednesday, November 1. Philotimo’s even shorter-lived sibling Kaimaki—a more casual spot serving coffee, cocktails, and Greek street food next door—is set to reemerge a month or so later.
