It seems that Roberto Donna’s shuttered Bebo Trattoria and Nick Cho’s closed Murky Coffee weren’t exactly the only Arlington restaurants that owe massive amounts in taxes because of the county’s meal tax. ARLNow reports that Extra Virgin, Front Page, and Kora are among restaurants that owe upwards of $25,000 in meal taxes to Arlington County.

Extra Virgin of Shirlington has the distinction of owing the most of any restaurant still open, at $71,171.50. This is actually slightly less than the $72K that the restaurant owed in December. Front Page follows with $46,521.82. The local chain’s location in Ballston nearly doubled the amount it owed in December. Kora, the restaurant from acclaimed chef Morou Ouattara, owes just north of $25,000. Ironically, Kora is open in Donna’s old Bebo Trattoria space. Maybe that location doesn’t have the best karma when it comes to taxes. I’d put these restaurants on the likely to close list, as tax delinquency has certainly claimed its fair share of restaurants.

As for Donna, it seems like he is making his court-ordered payments to Arlington County. While Bebo Trattoria still owes the most in the county at $153,715.96, the amount has decreased from the $160,898.82 that it owed in December. Murky owner Cho still owes $56K to the county. While Cho was charged with tax fraud in the District, he was never formally charged with either tax fraud or evasion in Arlington County.
