"Fans of the D.C. mainstay Chef Geoff’s are likely familiar with Lia’s, considered to be the American-Italian sister restaurant to Chef Geoff’s. Guests can expect a relaxed environment complete with warm interior lighting, a cozy bar, and picturesque patio. The portions are generous and the housemade pastas — including spaghetti & meatballs and penne alla vodka — remain long-standing customer favorites. Happy hour is daily from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., featuring $8 peachy lychee sangria, $7 house wines, and $10 “supermugs” of select beers." - Mekita Rivas, Tierney Plumb
