    We tried Giostra first and now Lago. Lago is just as good if not better for us because of the fish options. The miso cod, beet salad, and truffle purses were amazing! Fabio, you've done it again :)

    Good food, friendly servers, extensive wine and spirit offerings. Not overly crowded, although we went on a Tuesday. I’m sure the weekends are much different.

    Second time dining here. The overall experience was very good! Food is delicious (tomatoes in the table side burrata could’ve been a little better but it’s not really the season here so we’ll give them a pass), we had the Caesar salad, rigatoni with vodka sauce, short rib bolognese and the halibut with lemon caper sauce. It was all very delicious. I’d say the cocktails were just ok…one that was supposed to be spicy but wasn’t, one chilled vodka up that wasn’t very chilled and wasn’t a very full martini glass. Service was very good, friendly and attentive. One thing to note is that it is a very loud atmosphere so not the place for intimate conversation or anyone with hearing challenges. Great restaurant for the burbs, finally!

    The octopus seemed overcooked and overwhelmed by the sauce. It was called Mediterranean, but tasted a lot more like Asian sweet-and-sour. My wife got the Seabass, which seemed a little mushy and not nearly as good of flavor as Seabass we’ve had at a couple other establishments in the past month. My halibut was good but not particularly special. It certainly seems like they try to sell this experience as being high-end and maybe we ordered the wrong things for a steakhouse. But for the money I think they’re are better options . All of that said the staff were exceptional and deserve praise.

    The service was great. Food was mid. Price too high for the value. Overrated.

    Highly recommend Ossobucco. It was fantastic! My friend had salmon and raved about that as well.
