Piazza Beer Garden opens with Beer Bash in Bethesda (Photos)

Piazza Beer Garden had a good turnout for its season-opening Beer Bash Tuesday night. Guests sampled the featured beer of the night, Dominion Candi, and tried some of Piazza's small plates like calamari, sliders and the new Torpedo meat pizza appetizer.

On May 7, Cesco Osteria - the Italian restaurant whose Woodmont Avenue patio hosts Piazza Beer Garden, will be celebrating its 18th anniversary. They'll be serving a complimentary glass of prosecco and birthday cake to diners that day.
