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

Went here for the first time on Valentine’s Day, my fiancé had reservations for us that he put in advance for around 6:45pm that day. When we got in the hostess sat us at our table and told us we had an hour and 15 mins because they were fully booked but she said it was “no rush” like that was very clearly rushing. It was not only Valentine’s Day for us but it was also our anniversary and I found that very rude of her to tell paying customers that on Valentine’s Day like seriously ?? Our server was Kate and she changed the atmosphere for us very quick! She was super sweet and you can tell she loves her job. She could describe every single thing on the menu in full detail for you, the best server I’ve ever had. She was amazingggggggg she deserves a raise, promotion, something ! She recommended some very good things for us that did not disappoint. Mussels were amazing! Thank you Kate!!!

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!

I took my wife here for her birthday. My wife has been here for drinks previously and this was my first time.
Lago provides a great environment and atmosphere for a nice and fancy dinner night. Dimmed lights, nice bar.
Our server was fantastic! Kind, courteous, and attentive. Very fast service for bringing drinks and plates out. Service alone is one of the better experiences we’ve had recently.
They have a nice sized drink and food menu with plenty of options. Both some traditional and unique food options. We tried lobster and meatball dishes for appetizers. Both of them were very flavorful and satisfying. We both tried pasta dishes for our entree. I had the rigatoni and my wife and a spicy pasta dish. Both of them were fantastic! We finished with Nutella cheesecake, which again, was as fantastic as the rest of the food.
Very flavorful dishes and plenty of options. We already plan to come back and try some other menu items.
Highly recommend!

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!

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!

Cute place with wonderful vibe, interesting and inviting menu, great service, delicious choices …. Just the “tempura mushrooms” with my fish were somehow so dry/dehydrated, very thick batter, and hard to eat .. I still somehow found joy crunching them . I’ll be back for sure.

I went into this restaurant for the very first time and had the best Alfredo of my entire life! The prices were great, the atmosphere was perfect for date night, and everything we tried was amazing. I would literally drive three hours just to come back and eat here again — it was THAT good. Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend!

Lago was a fantastic dining experience. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a relaxing evening. The food was outstanding—the chicken fettuccine was rich and perfectly cooked, and the meatballs were tender and packed with flavor.
Catherine, our server, was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made the perfect recommendation for a red wine that paired beautifully with the meatballs, enhancing the meal even more. We’ll definitely be returning to enjoy more of what Lago has to offer.
