    It was the first time we dined at lago. It was a little loud in the dining room they did eventually turn it down a bit. The food was excellent I had the breakfast pizza and lobster Mac and cheese. Wifey had steak and eggs. Our son had the breakfast burger and brother had chicken and waffles. Mine was excellent I was very happy with the experience and will definitely be returning

    The food was outstanding. Every dish we tried, from the handmade pasta to the beautifully prepared filet was full of authentic Italian flavor and expertly presented. It's clear that Il Venetian takes pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen. From the moment we were seated, Aiden made us feel genuinely welcome. He was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu and brought a relaxed confidence that made the entire experience feel seamless. His recommendations were spot-on, and his timing throughout the meal impeccable. Il Venetian is lucky to have him on their team. We’ll absolutely be back, not only for the food, but for the top-tier service as well. Highly recommend!
