| - Out of all the restaurants on the Strip, Lago is my personal favorite. It's located right behind the Fountains of Bellagio and it has a gigantic glass wall so you can see the water show while dining. It gets especially beautiful at night when all the lights of the Strip reflect on the lake and the water glistens and you can see Paris and Planet Hollywood in the background. The interior decor is very modern and clean, chairs are comfortable, and it has a vibe that, to me, is different from other Strip restaurants.
I haven't tried all their dishes (most are small plates that are shareable with 2 people), but the ones I have tried so far are the pork ribs, mushroom risotto, shrimp-stuffed squid, and sea bass (catch of the day). All were small plated except for the sea bass. The pork ribs are fantastic when eaten hot, same for the risotto. The squid was cooked perfectly but the flavors were just okay compared to the pork and risotto. The sea bass was a bit bland, and the garnish (something along the lines of a ratatouille) didn't seem to mesh well with the flavors of the fish. But that's just my personal opinion, and none of the food was actually bad. The overall dining experience was perfect, and I'll definitely be coming back for a 4th time on my next trip.
