A new Italian cafe and bar called Acqui Terme is opening in the former Marine Hardware location at 4741 Ballard Ave NW.

Acqui Terme, named after an Italian city, should be opening before the end of the year, according to their Instagram page.

Their hours will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will serve dishes such as soft cooked eggs on bagnetto verde, meaning “green bath”, which is a traditional Piemontese dipping sauce. The cafe/bar will have a “huge emphasis on Italian style espresso, cocktails and wine,” according to a recent job posting for a cook position.

No word yet on their exact opening date, but we’ll keep you updated.
