Well, the opening paragraphs of that article read:

"It has been a Washington institution for nearly 60 years, and a sort of 
Rorschach test for at least 10, but after several reprieves, the end of 
A.V. Ristorante Italiano may be near. Although "nothing is set in 
stone," according to t he family, there is a sales contract, and as the 
restaurant always closes for three weeks in August, at the end of July 
it may go dark forever. Even if it's granted another stay, real estate 
development marches on, and eventually, like much of the neighborhood 
east of Mount Vernon Square and the convention center, this labyrinthine 
old eatery, and its outdoor patio, which has looked out over several 
generations of renewal and decline, will be razed.

You have been warned.

There's little point in treating this as a traditional review; A.V. is 
the sort of place patrons either love or belittle. ..."

So, looks to me like they still believe that the end is coming.
