An Italian deli is slated to open in about two weeks at the Peafowl Theatre Building in Germantown. Andrew Dodd and Chris Grissom will own and operate the business, which will have an address of 1120 Fourth Ave. N. Dodd said Little Hats Italian Market will employ about 10 people. The name is derived from the Italian word cappelletti (which will be the restaurant’s signature pasta).
To be a traditional deli with takeout options, Little Hats will operate primarily from the space previously occupied by The Juice Bar. Its outdoor space can accommodate 40 guests. A Nashville native, Dodd studied at Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, N.C. He served as sous chef at Ratcliffe on the Green out of school before moving to George’s Brassiere to serve as executive chef.
