Malik (sorry if I misspelled it) made our night great! He was amazing. We had a pizza with prosciutto, caramelized onions and goat cheese. Also tried the meatballs and the fried gnocchi. Everything was delicious! Malik also made an amazing Old Fashioned! Can’t wait to go back
Delicious cocktails and drinks, and the arancini was amazing! I stopped in for a bit with my cousin for some drinks and to hang out, and we had a pleasant time!! The service was great, and they were super friendly and helpful. They were good at reading when we were having a chat and may have not wanted to be interrupted vs. when we were ready to order something! They were very kind. The atmosphere was super cool! Very sleek but cozy with personality! I recommend stopping in!
We had a fantastic experience at Lago after coming here following a Browns game! The drinks were tasty, the appetizers were all delicious, and our pizza was quite good although we ended up being full enough to just take it home for leftovers. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area! The octopus appetizer is to die for!
The restaurant itself is beautiful on the inside and was a great experience. Our server, Kassi, was so sweet and accommodating. She truly made it a great night! Presentation of the food was great, however I felt like it was lacking flavor and was just a little bland. Would recommend based on atmosphere alone!
good evening, all. Player 1 had the calabria margarita. Personally I believe the octopus tentacle was boiled far too long. And the sauce it came with needed more salt to balance the acid. Anyway. The lobster arancini was delectable and I ate each ball whole. Player 2 here, I also had the calabria and it was good. I liked the spice. I had the fried gnocchi. Definitely dry. I’ve had gnocchi all over the world so I was really looking forward to this new take but was disappointed. The sauces on the side were good but did not make up for the dryness of the gnocchi. Had an espresso martini for dessert and could not be more pleased. So smooth and delicious! Player 3 reporting for duty 🫡 I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was quite pleasant. An ample amount of shaved beef and the au jus was good enough to send it over the top. Lots a fries came with it and they were also generously seasoned and perfectly crispy. Overall would certainly order again. Veg here - I ordered the spicy pene. It was good, not great, not spicy, but was a respectable, wholesome dish. Most likely wouldn’t get it again but it was solid. I also had the octopus app, respectfully it tasted like a hot dog with suction cups; I would not recommend, respectfully. All in all a great trip!
