| - Do yourself a favour, and go down the street to Violet Angel!
This place is horrible. I have one positive thing to say, much like the other reviews, and that is that the waitress is very pleasant. That's where it ends though.
The food! Oh my god. So awful. There aren't a ton of tasty food options in the village, and if you walk along the boardwalk and you'll find plenty of terrasses to choose from, but the restaurants are all mediocre at best. I was hoping for more from Il Lago, but it was actually worse than I could have anticipated.
My pasta was probably cooked about 5 minutes past the necessary cook time (totally mushy), the manicotti had a very questionable looking & tasting meat mixture in it (grey, slimy, funky), and the chicken parmigiana was so overdone that I was convinced I was eating pork or veal: it was dark and hard to cut (with a serrated knife) and tasted absolutely awful. I can't believe the chef was able to take a chicken breast and turn it into a brick. I'm shocked!
Food aside, unfortunately the terrasse is in very rough shape with broken floorboards, wobbly tables, cheap plastic chairs, and none of the pretty twinkle lights the other terrasses have. The inside of the restaurant looks quite nice, and if the food were remotely edible, I'd come here in the winter to eat inside. But ya, that ain't happening.
