Best Restaurant in Chevy Chase

Lia's

With soups, salads, sandwiches, pizza, risotto and rib eye, 5-year-old Lia’s is one of those something-for-everyone spots.

“It’s definitely a fun place,” says chef-owner Geoff Tracy, whose popular restaurant group includes Chef Geoff restaurants in downtown Washington, D.C., and Tysons Corner in McLean, Va. “Whether they’re eating a more significant meal in the dining room or hanging out in the bar or the patio, people have a lot of options.”

A big draw: the homemade pasta, made on site. Most of the dishes, such as the wild mushroom ravioli with arugula or the fettuccine carbonara with crispy pancetta, are under $19.

4435 Willard Ave., Chevy Chase, 240-223-5427, www.liasrestaurant.com
