If you manage to dine for dinner on the early side before 6:30 pm, any day of the week, ask about the twilight special: appetizer, entree and dessert for $23.95. Amazing value. Great, tasty choices.
- Nice Italian w/gourmet kids menu. Many good choices for adults. Bacon Bar specials on Wed./Thurs. nights, incl. chilled tomato soup w/bacon, fried tomato sliders w/ bacon. Eat al fresco in the summer.

All Day Happy Hour on Monday and Tuesday is a must! Great drink/Food specials and the 8.95 Mega mug is hard to pass up for beer drinkers.
If you love a good burger and can’t eat wheat the Lia’s burger with gluten free bun is incredibly good.
Kellijo LittleJuly 18, 2013The Ricotta Donuts were amazing, wish I hadn't stuffed myself with the spaghetti before hand. Order dessert first, this way you can savor every one of those heavenly bites. ;)- Jared CampbellJuly 24, 2015Great white pizza with lots of garlic and you can't go wrong with the German-sized mugs of beer.

Lynn PinaDecember 29, 2012The branzino is delicious. Crispy skin with light flaky fish. The orange and beet salad are also great.- The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 18, 2012Have you checked out the Bacon Bar? That’s right – Bacon Bar! Chef Geoff Tracy honed his innovative style at The Culinary Institute of America.
All day happy hour on Mondays and Tuesdays! Their burgers taste best when they're only $7.
You can't go wrong with Lias, I've never had a bad meal. I prefer sitting on the bar side where you can order the full menu, plus awesome happy hour prices.
- Try the various fresh sausage offerings. It's all made in house. Lamb, chicken, pork.
Deanne MariñoNovember 2, 2016Happy hour ALL DAY Mondays and Tuesdays!! Great food and drinks in the bar!

Order the greek happy hour pizza. Also the willard burger is fantastic.- Andrew PikeJune 5, 2010This is my favorite restaurant in Friendship Heights! Great food and service, yet won't break the bank account. Try the wild mushroom ravioli! Read more
- You can buy the Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil by the gallon to go!
- Try the Prosciutto di San Danielle and the buratta on the antipasti menu.
Killer happy hour Lia's Burger is a must have, Pancetta, provolone, onions wash it down with the district derby and call it a day!- The arugula and pepperoni pizza is a best seller ( for a reason).
Behrad EatsOctober 31, 2011Get the Lia's Burger during happy hour. Great burger and even greater price!- Lynn PinaApril 17, 2010Must drink: Uncle Arnold cocktail. Good but dangerous! To eat: scallops with risotto. Sublime. And the tiramisu is great, not the run of the mill.
Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 10, 2014The Bitches Say: B. Lia's brunch is above average with excellent service, a few key dishes, and unbelievable doughnuts. Unfortunately, the musty smell was off putting and some dishes were bland.
KitchenboyJanuary 23, 2011Happy Hour food prices Monday thru Wednesday and from 3-7 on the weekends. Great deal on food and drink!- Enormous beers and all night happy hours during the week. FTW!
Secret: they have half orders. You're welcome, self conscious ladies.
- Mondays are half price wine night AND all day happy hour.
Best gorgonzola burger in DC! Also, the scallops are always awesome.
Ann RAugust 21, 2010The food here is delicious and James is a rocking server, you ask for him when you visit here
