    Of all the Italian restaurants in Cleveland, this is my favorite! The food is always good, and the menu offers such a nice variety of options, seasonal dishes too! The win and cocktail list are superb! I've been to Lago on many occasions... romantic dinner with my husband, sitting at the bar eating pizza with my brother, a family group dinner, and of course hanging out on the patio in the summer or for browns games. Lago has a lot to offer!

    Poor food, poor atmosphere, service was less than friendly. Person standing with their bare feet on the bench so they could close the draperies so the sun wasn’t in our eyes was inexcusable. Would never return.

    Had a really great dinner there recently. Went on a Friday night with my parents, it was pretty busy, but had great service. Josie, our waitress, was so nice and had great recommendations. The food was delicious. We ordered the arancini balls and the butter board for apps, wedding soup and a chopped salad for the 2nd course, lobster gnocci, chicken francese and rigatoni for entrees and the bread pudding for dessert. Would definitely recommend!

    Ordered an almost $20 appetizer of the meatballs which we love, and our plate was taken away with salads before our food was finished. I mentioned this to the waitress and she said she’d bring more out, which she did not because we didn’t want another full order. Common etiquette would be for server to ask are you finished with this. Also made no adjustments on the bill. Also we were not offered any bread, apparently it’s a charge now for bread, and we were not asked if we would like some even if there is a charge. The short rib I ordered was tough and I was offered no knife to cut it. I had to use a butter knife and didn’t end up finishing it because it was so tough. The Brussel sprouts were under cooked and not edible as you could barely cut through them with a butter knife, they were hard. I really love this restaurant but the food and service were way off this evening. Won’t be returning for awhile.

    The night started off very well when we were served our first round of martinis- they were so good and set a great tone for the start of the evening! Once we received our entrees though, my sister had ordered the rack of lamb (which I believe was around $50) - she never complains or sends food back but hers was cold when it was served to us. She very politely mentioned that the food was cold and the manager came over and was apologetic and offered to “re-heat” it instead of remaking it. For an expensive entree, she was a bit disappointed to have it served back to her after it was clearly just heated by a heat lamp. The food was overall very good, but when our second round of martinis came, they were a completely different color and consistency than our first round was. We didn’t want to be difficult, but they honestly didn’t even taste like martinis. We let our server know and he said “What the f*ck that’s so weird.” It felt unprofessional and strange. He then explained that the bartenders had switched and made them differently. We got new ones and they were fine, but overall it was just a bit odd. When he dropped the check he let us know that we “were cool” and it all felt a little to casual and just rubbed us the wrong way a bit. I would go back, they just need to work on the customer service a bit.

    Kinda expensive for the quality of food received. Food was not seasoned at all. My first and last time going to this place, and would not recommend to anyone. With Cleveland’s food scene you can definitely find a better restaurant.

    The Food was delicious! The restaurant is very pretty and comfortable. Our service was terrible. I will not mention the servers name, however... we were a party of 2. Only one drink was delivered (2 where ordered). The appetizer came out and the 2nd drink never arrived. Finally I had to get up and look for a manager, I ran into our server on the way and asked her for the 2nd drink, share plates for the app and told here that we were not happy with her current service and would like a little more attention to detail and steps of service. The drink finally arrived and we placed our order. The appetizer plates sat empty and uncleared until the entrees arrived. We even pushed them to the edge of the table to indicate we were done with them, but someone would have had to have actually come to the table to do get that message and remove the plates. When entrees arrived we had to ask for fresh silverware - what happed to steps of service and a mise en place of a silver tray? Service unfortunately never got any better. Having worked i the restaurant business for over 24 years, I guess I have high standards. I wanted to leave no gratuity, but could not bring myself to do that. I did leave a 10% tip (I usually start at 20 and go up from there). I also left a message for the manager on the bill explaining the poor gratuity (reflective of the service). I did not speak to a manager while I was there and regret that now, but the person I was treating to lunch was celebrating a birthday and I did not want to embarrass they or bring more attention to a ruined celebration. Now I wish I had just requested a different server.

    The calamari recipe was changed and was not as good as it used to be. Please change it back. I miss the slight spiciness. A bit pricey for Lunch but I haven't been out to too many lunches lately so perhaps that's the going rates now..
