We have been to brunch many a time at BC Bistro and love it, but this was our first time there for dinner and on Valentine’s Day! We have heard that on Valentine’s Day many restaurants are overly crowded and rushed along, however, this was not the case at BC Bistro! We were greeted with smiles and met with kindness from all the staff. Our waiter was excellent and let us take our time to enjoy our evening out of dinner and drinks. The food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance was wonderful! BC Bistro really made our Valentine’s Day so special! ❤️ We will definitely be coming back soon!

About the restaurant
What is Lavagna? In Italian, it means "blackboard". That's where we put our menu, and specials change with the seasons. Look around too... the walls are also blackboards, decorated with artwork by Mike Delaney of Nyack.

After-work drinks, a date night, or a friend meetup all have their home at Lavagna. Our quiet, intimate setting is perfect for conversation and relaxation.

Pull up a barstool and have a glass of wine from our extensive vault. Our wine cellar is world class with over 125 labels available by the bottle and 25 by the glass. Please ask about our full roster of Italian craft beers that will surprise you with their complexity and depth of flavor.

We will pair your beverage with exquisite dishes, salumeria boards with meats and cheeses or a full caviar tasting for a special occasion. We also offer Roman-style flatbread pizzas and other small plates such as pastas, seafood, and Mediterranean specialties.

I am never disappointed by the service or the food at Lombardo’s. My only comment would be that the acoustics in the room are not great and it can be very loud and noisy.
