| - Unfortunately, Lago was just okay for me. The food is SO mediocre compared to many other Italian restaurants. I think "fine dining" Italian is just so hard to do. The "small plates" thing just didn't work for us. I felt that the food was grossly overpriced for what we were getting. I don't mind paying a lot for food, if the food is good and worth it, and in this case, I just really didn't think it was.
We ordered the margherita pizza, which was a simple cheese pizza fit for a 5 year old. We also ordered the 7&7 gnocchi with lobster, the mallorados, filet, bruschetta, and the ravioli al gamberi. All were good, and nothing was exceptional. My favorite was the mallorados, even though someone else at the table said it tasted like hamburger helper. :/
Another thing I didn't like was the interior of the restaurant. The decor seemed tacky and overdone. The tables were literally 6 " away from each other so it felt like you were eating at your neighbor's table. Very awkward for conversations.
Overall I would not go back and would not recommend.
