Vendetta Bocce Bar and Italian Restaurant is opening tonight, accepting walk-ins, according to Eater DC.

The Vespa-cool establishment is opening at 1212 H St. NE, in the space formerly occupied by Red Palace, which started out way back as the Palace of Wonders Show Bar, a relocated-from-Baltimore freak show that was home to the burlesque and the weird.

The transformation from Mondo Bizarre to La Dolce Vita is almost complete.
