We have also added in some popular American-Italian dishes for those guests looking for a more modern Italian dining experience. The beverage options at Lago are equally as much thought out in standard and craft as the food menu. Lago offers a unique predominantly Italian wine list, where a large number of bottles can also be ordered by the glass, and half bottle. A 10 selection draft list, well thought out craft bottled beer, Italian inspired handcrafted cocktail & martini list sets Lago apart from all the rest!

    First trip back since the name change, we thought it was outstanding. The shrimp and scallop and calamari appetizers were all fresh and delicious sauces. I had the grouper topped with crab special, the grouper was fresh and a generous portion. The sauce again was delicious. The fruit de mar pasta dish had plenty of seafood and a nice variety , again they nailed the sauce. The lobster ravioli was fantastic, again generous portion and delicious sauce. Finished off with a creme brulee we shared …. Perfect. Service was also very good . We will be back soon.
