Vapiano has closed its Bethesda location.
The local franchise of the German chain announced the closure with a note on its door saying, “As of 10/13/2014 Vapiano Bethesda is closed for business.”
The restaurant chain is known for its choose-your-own meal stations that serve up pasta, pizza and other Italian dishes.
On Tuesday morning the red sign had already been removed from the front of the building at the corner of Woodmont Avenue and Hampden Lane and was laying on the floor inside the restaurant.
