| - Lago is located in the heart of the Bellagio with excellent views of the fountains. We made last minute reservations for a Monday night after eating at Julian Serrano's Tapas restaurant the night before (which was amazing!), but when we arrived, the place was mostly empty. The hostess took a few minutes to seat us, and once she did, a server didn't show up for at least 5-7 minutes. Once someone came to take our drink order, someone else came by two minutes later to take our drink order again...which was very confusing and a bit frustrating. Many employees were standing around, and the organization of the place seemed a bit off.
The food is of course tapas style, which we thought was very fun for Italian food, since I'm always indecisive about main courses.
We split:
- caprese: great tomatoes
- cesare: super solid
- malloreddos: our least favorite dish; it kind of felt like hamburger helper...
- gnocchi alla romana: yummy, yummy, & yummy; get this one!
- branzino livornese: good, not great
For dessert, we split the tiramisu, which was amazing, and the lemon tart, which was pretty good. We did feel a bit rushed with our check, as it was brought with our dessert...not a very respectful practice in such a nice restaurant...
Overall, Lago was a perfectly good experience; the food was good, but the service and organization was lacking.
